Deadline

Good morming all,

Where can I find a sample for a “Plug-in info File” when using the Deadlinecommand to submit jobs?

deadlinecommand [Job Info File] [Plug-in Info File] [Auxiliary File 1] [Auxiliary File 2]

Thanks in advance,

Josh.

Hello everyone,

I found that I can export this file from the monitor when looking at the “Job Properties” on the “submission parameters” section, so basically I sent the job manually and then exported the Plug-in info file to use as a template.

Ah OK,

I’ve found how to create these myself from within Max

SMTDFunctions.CreateSubmitInfoFile()
SMTDFunctions.CreateJobInfoFile()

Is there an easy way to set those Key/Value pairs in the file with Maxscript? Have I missed something?

You might be interested in a couple of blog posts about creating submissions with Maxscript. I don’t know an easy way to set those key/value pairs but you can always take examples from our existing max submitter.

There is a global SMTDSettings struct, which contains most settings.
So first you set SMTDSettings.CustomFrameList = #(1, 2) etc.
Then use the SMTDFunctions to write the job files and submit.
