While Submitting the files from workspace to perforce server you might have come across error
"Few Files could not be transferred from client"
We had 50,000 such files and it was next to difficult on how to know which file is causing this issue.
We divided the the files in chunks and then started submitting 1000 files in a chunk, First three chunks did not have any issue and files submitted succesfully however in forth chunk it reported this error. Then we went on bisecting the set of files.
And finally we found that there was a file which was actually a symbolic link. The Symboloc link was present in client however the actual file was removed hence p4 client was not able to transfer the file from P4 client to server.
After fixing this file ( deleted the Symbolic link ) , we were able submit 5000 files in perforce in one go.
