hello, for some reason I am the only artist at my facility that has this problem but when I send a job to the “aftereffects” pool it is still picked up by every machine on the farm. It is still listed in the monitor as belonging to the correct pool but all the machines are still trying to pick it up. Any ideas on what’s going on here? I tried it on other artist workstations at my facility and they all worked fine (same comp and everything).
Thanks!

Strange. Are you running exactly the same version of Deadline as everybody else in your studio? Do you have any custom job scheduling weightings, which would bias this job? Can we see your job prop settings & job scheduling settings in your repo. When you click on the “Job Candidate Filter” in the top left of your job panel, when the job is submitted form noth your machine or indeed, anyone else’s, do the slaves displayed as being applicable to the job, tally up to what you are seeing actually happen in terms of job rendering order?
yeah, the job canidate filter shows all the machines on the farm when it should be just showing machines in the pool that it’s submitted too, so it would seem that somewhere deadline thinks it should go to the whole farm and not just the pool that it’s assigned too. I looked at the job props and it shows that it is assigned a proper pool. so this one is a head scratcher for me right now.

Hi,
What exact version of Deadline are you using? There was a bug if you had a empty whitelist and how it affected the Job Candidate Filter, but that was fixed back in v7.0.0.54. So, when you actually select your job in question in the Monitor with Job Candidate Filter enabled, all your slaves are showing, instead of the applicable one only, which are all assigned to the same particular “pool” which the job in question has been submitted to? Weird. I think we will need a remote session here to understand what’s going on here. As it’s only happening on your machine, it might well be worth you uninstalling the Deadline Client software on just your machine and re-installing it manually, check if it’s still an issue and if so, please drop a note to support [at] thinkboxsoftware [dot] com to schedule a remote session with our support team.
