Deadline 6 - 'Render This Job Simultaneously'

Hello,

I have a user who submit a job with ‘Render This Job Simultaneously’ set to ‘1’.
Normally there was only one slave that treat his task one, by one.

At that point I said, no problem from Monitor UI, I set it to ‘0’ (no limit).

The problem is, ‘it does not change anything’, and there was many slaves in idle (and reamain in idle).
So I asked him to resubmit with ‘Render This Job Simultaneously’ set to ‘0’, that time.

The RenderFarm behaves normally, a maximum of tasks were treated.
Do you have an idea ?
In principle changing a property from UI impacts slaves immediatly, or I miss something.

Thanks
Nico

Hi Nico,
Sorry, I’m not sure what you are referring to when you say: “Render This Job Simultaneously” setting? Could you provide steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing?
You can always use the “Job Candidate Filter” to see what machines are currently allowed to pickup a job, based on the job’s current settings for pool, secondary pool, group, limits, machine limits, etc.
See image below:

The exact setting description is “Slaves That Can Render This Job Simultaneously”

I’ll check with your option in the future

Hello,

I was kind of wondering if you had stopped and restarted the job after making that change? If not, can you try that? Thanks.
