Deadline 10.3 wont render

please, need help…
Deadline 10.3, Houdini 20.5.278 and Houdini 20.0.547, when I submit and start render I get error message:
Deadline was unable to find the plugin configuration option ‘Houdini20_5_278_Hython_Executable’ for the selected version of Houdini 20_5_278.

does anybody have idea what is wrong, I am stack here?

tnx!

Did you forget bump up the Index when you added H20.5 in the Houdini.param file?

Indexes are fine. I think I manage this.

but now I get “Error: Deadline was unable to find the plugin configuration option ‘Houdini20_5_278_Hython_Executable’ for the selected version of Houdini 20_5_278.” message

It has to be Houdini20_5_278_Hython_Executable and not Houdini20_5_Hython_Executable in the config header

Yes, thank you! I have to change also path for hyton.exe and simtracker.py, now is finally working.

Thank you again

I reinstall Deadline on other computer which will be server (24/7). Mayabatch render fine, no problem, but again I have a problem with Houdini.
As you can see from attached picture Deadline get me an error and stop rendering. In houdini.param file everything in written OK, in “Configure Plugins” I think everything is written OK but in error message from somewhere Deadline try to find “Houdini20_5_Hython_Executable” instead of “Houdini20_5_278_Hython_Executable”.
First I thought that Deadline read houdini.param file from somewhere else but when I temporary remove houdini. param file list of Houdini plugin is empty.
Any idea?

sounds like you’re getting the repo’s confused, or the submitter, something is submitting to the older version (possibly cached?) . You can add a 20_5 and 20_5_278 option in the param code, this is probably the quickest ‘fix’

You have options set in the ‘custom’ folder in the repository, these should override the original ones.

yes, “fix” working. thanks for idea
