Error "Could not find legacy (pre-10.0.26) AWS Portal File Transfer."

Hi, I’m trying to submit a job from Houdini - PDG. This is launching a spotfleet with 2 instances loading custom AMIs (created based on Thinkbox own AMIs).

Software versions:
Houdini 18.0.416
Deadline 10.1.4.1

I can render normally using the Thinkbox deadline submitter in a rop network. It just fails when using the PDG deadline scheduler. The issue is related to deadline trying to run globalassettransferpreload.py while the file doesn’t exist in the folder. Do I have to install anything “extra” on this AMI to get this running ? Log file:

thanks

…for some reason restarting the workers and the license forwarder made this error go away. I just wanted to know what did happen so I can try and avoid this error in the future.
