Deadline monitor 8.0.4.1 - Suspending batches

We love using batches in our 3DS Max custom submissions. We tend to submit a lot of jobs with dependencies and it is nice to have them all in a nice grouping.

We have noticed that when a batch of jobs is suspended in monitor and then resumed, all of the dependencies are lost. Is it possible to change this, I can’t think of a case when this would be preferred behaviour?

Hello,

So when you suspend the batch, you are changing the state of all jobs in the batch. When you hit resume, it is changing the state of any jobs not failed or complete, but the process just changes them to queued, as it doesn’t know what the old state was. Hopefully in future we can handle that better.
