Hi,
I’ve been using deadline to set off Houdini simulations and quite often I forget to change the default timeout option of 6 hours and my really long sims timeout before finishing. Is there a way to change this setting or even turn it off for single task jobs?
Thanks!
Not without a little bit of API work. We’ve got an example here in the github that shows how to automatically set timeouts on jobs as they’re submitted.
You’ll need to add some logic to remove the timeout for your Houdini sims. You’ll probably have to use the Job object to figure out which jobs are sims and which aren’t.
