Key Value Pair not supported (manual job submission error)

Deadline
1

I been trying to submit a manual job with Deadline but I received the error:

The job was submitted successfully, but there were some warnings:

  • Key-value pair not supported: ‘Frames’=‘0’
  • Key-value pair not supported: ‘ChunkSize’=‘1’

I already prepared and ran it with the three files:

  1. cmd_job_info.job
  2. cmd_plugin_info.job
  3. commandfiles.txt for the command i want to run

I really could not figure out why would it not read the key value pair!? the syntax and everything is right. All other kvps were read fine

Hey Chau,

are both those set in the job info or the plugin info?

I think the Frames property expects a framerange.
Try:

Frames=0-0

Would you be able to upload the job and plugin info?
That would help us troubleshoot.

What are the weird quotation marks around the keys and values? Or were you trying to add code blocks for the forum?
These should be valid otherwise. A single frame should generally be fine too.

I tried this too. The job run fine now so i guess we can ignore the warning

Frames=0
MaintenanceJob=True
ChunkSize=1

Was the submission error for a Maintenance Job? I see you have it listed as such:

Do you get the same error if you submit as a “normal” job?

You are right. The job should not have been maintenance. That was a mistake. I guess maintenance job do not recognize frames or chunksize
