submitting from nukeX

This link is old. Is this solution still applicable or their is another way to set it

Hello @Nishith_Singhai

Thanks for reaching out, the thread you linked is very old , now we have option to enable NukeX Rendering in both Monitor submitter and Integrated submitter. If NukeX rendering is enabled then it sets NukeX parameter value to True in Plugin Info file. In order to get Job info file and plugin info file, please submit Job from Integrated submitter / Deadline Monitor submitter by enabling Render with NukeX option , so that you can export the files once Job is showed up in Deadline Monitor. Then, use files as reference to submit other Jobs using python api .

Only after posting this mail. I did realise the modify job properties → submission options
This gives parameters for both job and plugin. This is a good way to find out.

Thank you
