DeadlineCommandBG unsupported key=value pairs

Hi,
It looks like the following key=value pairs are unsupported by the DeadlineCommandBG.exe during submission of a custom plugin if initially set at the py submission script level as per the attached screen-grab.

Also, here’s a text copy dump of the “3dsmxs_job_info.job” local temp file as its being submitted:

Plugin=3dsMXS Name=test Comment=MXS Job Department= Pool=data Group=none Priority=50 TaskTimeoutMinutes=0 EnableAutoTimeout=False ConcurrentTasks=1 LimitConcurrentTasksToNumberOfCpus=True MachineLimit=0 Whitelist= LimitGroups= JobDependencies= OnJobComplete=Nothing Frames=0-0 ChunkSize=1 InterruptibleFlag=False ReloadRenderer=False SequentialJobFlag=False SynchronizeAllAuxiliaryFiles=False SuppressEvents=False IgnoreFailedJobDetection=False IgnoreFailedTaskDetection=False SendJobErrorWarning=True PreJobScript= PostJobScript= PreTaskScript= PostTaskScript=

Tested in beta v6

Thanks,
Mike

Hey Mike,

These are the flags for those properties from our job submission documentation:

ForceReloadPlugin=[true/false]
Sequential=[true/false] *
Interruptible=[true/false]

*SequentialJob is also an accepted key name, but we don’t document it to avoid confusion.

Cheers,

Thanks Ryan that fixed it.
In Deadline v4.1, Sequential=[true/false] didn’t work and I had to use “SequentialJob”, but I guess that’s becuase its a change in v5 and not v4.1.
Also, the reason I got the naming convention wrong for those elements was because I just copied those names from the actual XML job info file, so I assumed they would be the same? Consistent?
The other settings all worked it was just these 3 names didn’t match their XML equivalent from the “Advanced” tab.
Thanks,
Mike

That’s why we always try to expose and document some sort of API to get/set this information. We never recommend looking at the repository “source” directly, because we can never guarantee that it won’t be changed. :slight_smile:

Cheers,
