Houdini submission script to deadline

Deadline
1

Hello,

I started to use houdini with deadline to submit job to the farm.
I’m facing 2 questions/problem.

1- When I submit a mantra job to the farm with the deadline script, I’m not able to double clic on a frame in the task windows to start ie framecycler. Look like the output directory are unknow by deadline when I check in the job details panel. I think it’s a part of the problem…Maybe it’s a bug or a misunderstanding of my part.

2- Is it possible to submit multiple mantra node at the same time?ei /out/mantra1 /out/mantra2 /out/mantra3 and submit a task in deadline for each mantra node submited?

Thank you
