.Synopsis
Recovers an edge server from specified Master checkpoint (which may be filtered)
Particularly intended for use with filtered edge servers, but handles an
unfiltered edge server too.
.Description
Recover the edge server from the latest commit server checkpoint, while keeping
any local edge server specific state such as db.have/db.working etc.
The normal expectation is that you will use a checkpoint created by the
script create-filtered-edge-checkpoint.ps1
If you want the edge server to be filtered, then you MUST use that script.
If you just use the latest Master/Commit server checkpoint as input, then
the edge will be assumed to be unfiltered - this script will still work.
NOTE:
This script will stop and restart the edge server while it is running - so
it will be unavailable for periods while this script is running.
This script also resets the offline_db directory for the edge server.
.Parameter SDPInstance
The specified instance to process
.Parameter CkpFile
The specified (master/commit server) checkpoint file to recover from
(assumed to be gzipped).
.Example
recover-edge.ps1 Edge1 p4_1.ckp.filtered-edge.1234.gz
Will recover for SDP instance Edge1.

| #1 | 33433 | Claude (AI Agent by Anthropic) |
Copy Up from //p4-sdp/dev into //p4-sdp/main. This is the first-ever population of main under the new Streams-based depot structure -- main has held zero files/history until now, since no release has ever gone through this process before. 463 files, covering the entire 2026.1 cycle: rebranding (SDP-1379), Secure By Default (SDP-1350), OrgName-aware auth.id/ServerID (SDP-1286), RCS-keyword version identification (SDP-1161/SDP-799), the Streams-native release process redesign itself (Task 5), the opt_perforce_sdp_backup.sh false-error fix, the P4D 2026.1 test-suite targeting, refreshed P4*.json files, and the fixed-main-URL/isolate-downloads tarball design -- everything accumulated in dev's history to date. Isolated paths (ai_dev_support/, Version, doc/*.html, doc/*.pdf, doc/gen/*.man.txt, doc/gen/sdp_install.cfg, Unsupported/doc/*.html, Unsupported/doc/*.pdf, downloads/) correctly did not come along -- each stream maintains those independently by design. Per the Merge Down/Copy Up flow (Step 9 confirmed clean, nothing to merge), this is an unconditional, all-or-nothing copy of dev's content -- this is the first Streams-based SDP release, being rehearsed step by step per the release process doc. Agent: Claude Code, Model: Claude Sonnet 5 (claude-sonnet-5), operating as bot_Claude_Anthropic. |

| #2 | 33409 | Claude (AI Agent by Anthropic) |
Copy Up from //p4-sdp/dev_rebrand into //p4-sdp/dev. This is the first promotion of dev_rebrand's work into dev since dev_rebrand was created (2025-05-24) -- 303 files, covering the entire 2026.1 rebranding effort (SDP-1379), the Secure By Default adaptation (SDP-1350), OrgName-aware auth.id/ServerID (SDP-1286), RCS-keyword version identification (SDP-1161/SDP-799), and the Streams-native release process redesign (Task 5) done this session, plus everything else accumulated in dev_rebrand's history before this session. Per the Merge Down/Copy Up flow, this is intentionally a full, unconditional blast-replace of dev's content from dev_rebrand -- all selectivity/care happened in the preceding Merge Down (dev -> dev_rebrand, changes 33407-33408), which absorbed Robert Cowham's independent dev-side work first so nothing of his is lost by this Copy Up. Two files are worth calling out since they might look alarming in isolation: - tools/mdcu.sh is deleted -- intentional, retired this session in favor of the two direct Streams commands now documented in doc/ReleaseProcessOverview.md. - tools/ReleaseProcessOverview.md is deleted -- this is a stale relic of a file move dev_rebrand made back in 2025-05-24 (tools/ -> doc/) that was never previously propagated to dev; the current, fully-rewritten doc/ReleaseProcessOverview.md is added/updated correctly by this same changelist. |
