Hey,
I was curious if there is an automated way to set limit groups without having to assign them through the Submission window? We would like to enable all of our render nodes the ability to render Nuke, however we have a limited number of licenses. I was curious if there is a way through Deadline to tell a plugin to use a specific limit versus having the artist manually set it and risk failing due to user error?
Actually, it looks like I may be able to enforce these with the CustomSanityChecks.py. I am having trouble locating the documentation on the DeadlineGlobals module. Could you point me to where I may find this?
Thanks
Hello Brett,
After talking to the devs, DeadlineGlobals is not documented, it’s just a python file in the same folder that defines all the global values that can be set from the sanity check script.
Okay, I found the DeadlineGlobals file. It would be nice though if your documentation actually stated where it was located or how one could access the global variables or what global variables were available. Honestly, I spent about an hour searching for any sort of documentation on that module which was mentioned at the bottom of this page: thinkboxsoftware.com/deadline-6-nuke/.
Are there any plans to create some sort of official online API rather than dumping everything in a pdf or chm file? It’d be nice to see a thoroughly documented online API generated through Doxygen, Epydoc, or Sphinx since they are easy to navigate.
Example:
Nuke -> docs.thefoundry.co.uk/nuke/80/pythonreference/
Mongo -> api.mongodb.org/python/2.7rc0/py-modindex.html
PyQt -> pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/classes.html
Sorry about the lack of documentation. We’ve made a note to provide more details in the Sanity Checks documentation for Nuke (and other submitters that support it) for the 6.2 documentation.
Ideally, we’d like to have the API docs online. We’ve had discussions on how to achieve this (possibly with a dedicated documentation site), but unfortunately we don’t have an ETA at this time.
Cheers,
Ryan
