Hi!!
I want to send my houdini work file to farm when submitting a job. The default deadline ROP node has an option for this.
Currently, this work file is being copied to a local C drive on the worker machine and deadline uses this file to execute the job.
Is there a way to copy the file to a custom location instead?
Appreciate any help.
Thank you!
You can change where the Worker’s temporary directory is by updating the Worker Local Data Storage setting in the client configuration using SlaveDataRoot.
Paths to the client configuration file are here - Client Configuration — Deadline 10.3.1.4 documentation
Thanks for the quick response.
Another question:
Is it possible to copy the file to a specific location (maybe on the network) using scripting? This location will vary per job.
Thanks!
Absolutely possible. Deadline has a bunch of places you can run scripts, particularly when events (like job submission) occur.
Check out Scripting Overview — Deadline 10.3.1.4 documentation to get oriented.
