I’ve got 2 node licenses for my Realflow, when I submit 5 realflow jobs it will error those that can’t get a license and ultimately fail these job.
Is there any way to tell deadline to only run 2 realflow jobs at the same time and leave the others queued?
If not, and it might be implemented, would it be an idea to include this at the plugin configuration window?
You want to use Limits for this:
thinkboxsoftware.com/deadline-6-limitgroups/
To enforce them, you can either edit your realflow submission script to always include the Limit that you’ve created for realflow jobs, or you could use an Event Plugin and have OnJobSubmitted check if a job is a Realflow job, and if it is, set its LimitGroup setting appropriately and save the job.
Cheers,
Ryan
aah, cool, thoughts limits were only within 1 job (never needed them)
thanks!
