Sorry guys, I know this should be in the beta forum…but I don’t seem to be able to find it…
We have a submission script (courtesy of Bobo) for 2.7. Before I jump to far into it again, is there any major changes I should be aware of between 2.7 and 3?
Basically, I have a script setup that send a max file and a script to a specific pool, nothing fancy, but I need to dust it off and get it running with some of our new pipeline work
If you can think of anything outstanding, simply point me to further reading. I’m sure I’ll have plenty more questions later 
Cheers
Shane
Sorry Shane, I checked the board permissions and you weren’t listed as a user. I’ve enabled all the necessary permissions, so you should be able to access it in the future.
The only major changes between the 2.7 and 3.0 submission scripts are the new Groups option (and the removal of the Category and Pool Exclusive options), and how Deadline determines where the repository is located (it uses DeadlineCommand, which is now in the PATH, instead of checking c:\deadline\deadline.ini because we can’t assume Deadline is installed there anymore).
Cheers,
Thanks Ryan, but I must be a complete idiot, because I still can’t see the beta forums…also the subject title should be 2009, but it’s been a long week.
Okay…I’ve finally been able to submit a script job to deadline via our custom script…this all works well, really well actually, BUT…the scripts that need to be run rely on the max file name in order to do there jobs…except deadline does not appear to maintain the filename (as far as I can tell), cause when my script does run, I get “deadlineStartupMax2009.max”…which is causing all my brilliant sanity checking to fail 
Okay, so we have any number of work arounds available I’m sure. I was looking at the lightning plugin (and from the script samples) it has a function “getJobInfoEntry”…now, one of the entries I inject when submitting the job is “SceneName”…but this does not seem to be coming through…mind you, I could just be confusion the submission and job files
Is there any additional documentation on the lightning plugin?? Or is the struct in the mx template pretty much what is exposed??
Okay, off to bang head against the brick wall again
Cheers
Shane
I stand corrected, it was SceneFile and it is coming through…
