Whenever we try to re-submit a 3dsmax task or job from deadline monitor, we get an error that looks like its saying it can’t find the Auxiliary file. (See attached jpeg)
I am unable to find the auxiliary files manually either.
Hi,
I’m unable to reproduce this issue using Deadline 8.0.7.3. What version are you using? Is this a custom submitted 3dsMax job? The scene name: “deadlineSubmitFile.max” seems suspiciously like a dummy file? If you double-click the job to bring up job properties, click on Submission Params and scroll to the top of the right-hand window, is their a KEY=VALUE entry for “SceneFile=//path/to/your/scene/file”? If you right click the job do you see an “Auxiliary Files” menu entry to this scene file path? When you manually searched in the repo path for this file, were there any files in this directory?
Hi Mike,
Thak you for your reply.
We are using 8.0.5.1
In Job Properties -> Submission Parameters upper right window (Plugin Info Parameters) there is no key=value for the scene
In Job Properties -> Submission Parameters upper left window (Plugin Info Parameters) there is:
ExtraInfoKeyValue1=SceneFilePath=C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Thinkbox\Deadline8\temp\deadlineSubmitFile.max
Right clicking on the job and copying the auxiliary files path gives:
Z:\data\diablo2\admin\deadline8_jobs\jobs\57b62d795ac57cf8cc387657\deadlineSubmitFile.max
the auxiliary files are actually in:
Z:\data\diablo2\admin\deadline8_jobs\jobs\jobs\57b62d795ac57cf8cc387657\deadlineSubmitFile.max
(There is an extra \jobs subfolder)
the Windows path specified in the configure Repository Options -> Auxiliary Files tab is:
Z:\data\diablo2\admin\deadline8_jobs\jobs\
Can you remove the "\jobs" from the Aux path in your Repo Options so that the path is then valid?
I we remove the “\jobs” from the Auxiliary path, the auxiliary files end up in
Z:\data\diablo2\admin\deadline8_jobs\jobs\ subfolder but looks for them in the
Z:\data\diablo2\admin\deadline8_jobs\ parent folder.
ok, will log as a bug. Thanks.
