Hello!

It looks like Houdini failed on something and Deadline Plugin is not catching the actual error message reported after the error “The attempted operation failed.” by Houdini. We have a internal ticket opened to track this issue and has been raised to our devs. Unfortunately, we cannot share the roadmap information.

You can isolate the Houdini submission from Deadline and see if you get the actual error that caused Houdini to fail. Here is a documentation to follow on Troubleshooting Houdini Render problems.
