Trying to render from a Deadline scheduler. It works but the job names are incorrect. In the deadline_sceduler>Job Spec>Job Description>Job Name attribute, the value is set to “@pdg_label”.
The expected behavior is that the name of the Tops work item name should be passed to deadline as the Job Name. This is not happening. Instead the job names for all my jobs are “@pdg_label”.
That is just for the post. The string used in inside the post quotes. In the field is it unquoted. Not sure if that is correct usage. I have done it both ways and it produced the same result. No expansion of the variable name to its respective value.
I am not familiar enough to know which client you are referring to as out of date and which one is SideFX code…
The Deadline Client version is closest to the Repository version numbers. I am assuming this is the one that needs to be updated? Looks like FranticX is also referenced in Thinkbox documentation. Is that out of date?
*edit: Actually, the client numbers are coming from the about box in Deadline Monitor. May not actually have bearing on Houdini. But it is worth noting that there are numerous issues working in monitor that this may explain…
