Deadline
1

i need a help.

tell me about post job script - how and where…



i create simple script:



RepositoryUtils.LogText “Getting output directories…”

Dim outputDirs

outputDirs = SlaveUtils.GetCurrentJobValue( “OutputDirectories” )

RepositoryUtils.LogText "Output path 0 = " & outputDirs(0)



end put it to:

…\DeadlineRepository\scripts\Nikopol_MOV_Generator\Nikopol_MOV_Generator.vbs



i connect script to a job and wait… slave execute it and write that:



Log Message

BEGIN - 2008-04-09 18-58-32 - RF74\netrnd

---- April 09 2008 – 06:58 PM ----

0: Plugin rendering frame(s): 99999

0: This job had a post script task, but no associated script. Just marking this task as complete.

0: Render Time: 0 s

What version of Deadline are you using? There was a bug in Deadline 2.6

that prevented the post job script stuff from working. I just tested

this out with Deadline 2.7.29178 and it worked fine. I created a script

on the network, and added the script to the job by right-clicking on it

in the Monitor and selecting Modify Post Job Script.



Cheers,

Unfortunately, writing “PostJobScript=…” to the submit info file is

also broken in Deadline 2.6. The only workaround is to upgrade to the

latest version of Deadline. As long as your support and upgrade contract

is up to date, you can upgrade to Deadline 2.7 at no additional cost.

You will need an upgraded license file, so if you haven’t received this

yet, please email deadline-support with your full name/company info and

we’ll send you the upgraded license. If you still have to renew your

support and upgrade contract, you can email deadline-sales. The contact

information for both can be found here:
