How To Submit New Job From Post Job Script?

Deadline
1

Hi,

As you can tell from the title I want to submit a new job from my Post Job Script:

from Deadline.Scripting import *

def __main__(*args):
    deadline_plugin = args[0]
    job = deadline_plugin.GetJob()

Could someone provide some sample code please?#

Thanks

This script wasn’t intended to be started from post job script so you need to adapt args to your needs.

import tempfile
import getpass

from System.IO import Path
from Deadline.Scripting import RepositoryUtils, ClientUtils



def submitJob(jobName, project, shot, frames, inputDir, outputDir):
    
    deadlineTemp = ClientUtils.GetDeadlineTempPath()

    jobInfoFile = ""
    pluginInfoFile = ""
    
    # Build job info file
    with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode="w", dir=deadlineTemp, delete=False) as fileHandle:
        jobInfoFile = fileHandle.name 
        fileHandle.write("Plugin=PlugName\n")
        fileHandle.write("Name=Plug Name {0}\n".format(jobName))
        fileHandle.write("BatchName={0}\n".format("Daily"))
        fileHandle.write("Comment=Submited from script\n")
        fileHandle.write("Department={0}\n".format("comp"))
        fileHandle.write("UserName={0}\n".format(getpass.getuser()))
        fileHandle.write("Pool={0}\n".format("pool"))
        fileHandle.write("SecondaryPool={0}\n".format("None"))
        fileHandle.write("Group={0}\n".format("group"))
        fileHandle.write("Priority={0}\n".format(50))
        fileHandle.write("OutputDirectory0={0}\n".format(Path.GetDirectoryName(outputDir)))
        fileHandle.write("OutputFilename0={0}\n".format(Path.GetFileName(inputDir)+".mp4"))
        fileHandle.write("Frames={0}\n".format(frames))
        fileHandle.write("ChunkSize=1000000\n")


    # Build plugin info file
    with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode="w", dir=deadlineTemp, delete=False) as fileHandle:
        pluginInfoFile = fileHandle.name 
        fileHandle.write('InputDir="%s"\n' % inputDir)
        fileHandle.write('OutputDir="%s"\n' % outputDir)
        fileHandle.write("Project=%s\n" % project )
        fileHandle.write("Shot=%s\n" % shot )

    RepositoryUtils.SubmitJob([jobInfoFile, pluginInfoFile])

def __main__(*args):

    if len(args) < 5:
        raise Exception("Invalid number of arguments")
    name = args[0]
    project = args[1]
    shot = args[2]
    frames = args[3]
    inputDir = args[4]
    if len(args) == 6:
        outputDir = args[5]
    else:
        outputDir = inputDir


    submitJob(name, project, shot, frames, inputDir, outputDir)
