Possible bug found in Deadline 3.1

Hey guys,

I think I may have found a possible bug in Deadline 3.1, so I thought I’d bring it to your attention, just in case it gets overlooked in newer versions. We have our submission scripts entering a PostJobScript=X:\folder\postJobScript.py rather than using the submission dialog to enter it, and when the job shows up on the Deadline que, I can right click and go to Modify Properties, then click the Advanced tab at the top, and it’ll display only 1 script for Post Job Script in the Job Python Scripts group. When I run “deadlinecommand GetJobs” and locate it in the output, it’ll display information similar to (marked with **):

AuxiliarySubmissionFileNames=maya_deadline_job.job Comment= CompletedDateTime=Dec 21/09 19:51:59 ConcurrentTasks=1 Department= JobDependencies= JobDependencyPercentage=-1 ErrorReports=0 FramesList=1001-1122 Group=none IgnoreBadJobDetection=False IgnoreFailedJobDetection=False IgnoreFailedTaskDetection=False JobId=001_000_999_0aaaaaaa LimitGroups=maya LimitTasksToNumberOfCpus=True MachineLimit=50 MachineLimitProgress=-1 WhitelistFlag=False ListedSlaves= Name=XX_000_0000_Lighting_XXX_XXXXXXXXX_v002 - BG_lf NotificationMethod=None NotificationEmails= NotificationTargets=userName OnJobComplete=Nothing OnTaskTimeout=Error OutputDirectories=E:\shows\XXXXXX\XX\XX_000_0000\_3d\XX_000_0000_Lighting_XXX\_WORKAREA\userName\Render_Pictures\BG_lf,E:\shows\XXXXXX\XX\XX_000_0000\_3d\XX_000_0000_Lighting_XXX\Elements\XX_000_0000_MM_lf\BG_lf_Main\v002 OutputFileNames=XX_000_0000_Lighting_XXX_XXXXXXXXX_v002.????.iff,XX_000_0000_MM_lf_BG_lf_Main_v002.####.iff OverrideNotificationMethod=False PluginName=CFX_MayaRender Pool=3d **PostJobScript=X:\folder\postJobScript.py **PostTaskScript=X:\folder\postJobScript.py **PreJobScript=X:\folder\postJobScript.py **PreTaskScript=X:\folder\postJobScript.py Priority=50 ReloadRenderer=False SequentialJobFlag=False SlaveTimeoutSeconds=0 StartedDateTime=Dec 21/09 19:02:39 Status=Completed Archived=True SubmitDateTime=Dec 21/09 19:01:50 SubmitMachineName=WkXXXXXX_64 TaskCount=26 TasksQueued=0 TasksRendering=0 TasksSuspended=0 TasksCompleted=0 TasksFailed=0 UserName=userName

So, via command line, it’s showing the same post script for all entries, whereas, the monitor “Modify Job Properties” window shows only one entry for Post Job Script.

Hi Brett!

This was indeed a known issue in 3.1, and has already been fixed for the upcoming 4.0 release.

Thanks!
