Job FrameList Attribute How to in Python

Deadline
1

Job’s “FrameList” attribute can be viewed by opening Deadline Monitor Job’s Properties page:
Here is the Job Property screencapture:

Frames=15-17

The Job’s “Frames” attribute can be queried from any Plugin Script or Event Script.
If running Plugin script first get Job object:

job=self.GetJob()

For Event script it is not needed since Job object is passed there as an argument.

Having Job object we can query its frame list (its “Frame” attribute):

frames = job.Frames

or

frames = job.JobFramesList

both attributes return IronPython list variable. We can iterate them using a regular Python for loop. Example:

for i in range( 0, len(frames) ): singleFrameNumber=frames[i]

To get a pre-formatted string output such as “2-9” instead of IronPython list of integers (where each integer is Frame Number):

frameList = FrameListUtils.ToString( frames )

We can override the Job’s Frames attribute using Job’s job.set_FramesList() method:

newFrameList='1-200' job.set_FramesList(newFrameList)

Unfortunately job.set_FramesList() doesn’t update Job GUI.

Question: What method should be used to overwrite Job’s FrameList attribute so the new overwritten value shows up in Deadline Monitor Job’s Property page?
I was able to find

RepositoryUtils.UpdateJobOutputFileNames(job, newOutputFileNamesList)
and
RepositoryUtils.SetJobOutputDirectories(job, newOutputDirectoriesList )

but I can’t find anything regarding FrameList attribute.

Mike suggested RepositoryUtils.SaveJob(job) solved the problem with Deadline Monitor Job’s right click menu. Thanks Mike!

Great to hear Mike was able to help
