P4DTI issue job000219

TitleExisting jobs in Perforce may become unusable when the jobspec is changed
Statusclosed

DescriptionWhen the P4DTI starts up for the first time, it changes the jobspec without checking to see whether any jobs are present. These jobs may become unusable when the jobspec is changed.
AnalysisThis is difficult to do; how can the P4DTI know it is being run for the first time. It changes the jobspec every time it starts up. Perhaps we should tell people to run refresh.py before run.py?
