Hi!
With deadline Is there a way to resume failed tasks automatically while blacklisting servers that failed? (I,m with deadline 8.0.2.1)
One way to approach this kind of situation is to look at your Job Settings -> Failure Detection:
docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/produc … -detection
Using a combination of job and slave based failure detection, you will be able to get a slave to mark itself BAD after a certain number of attempts on a certain job. Typically, if a slave is failing on a particular frame, it needs to move on to try a different task from the same job or just be blacklisted entirely for that job, so other slaves can work on that job. If the job’s bad, then the job based failure detection settings should be configured as you prefer.
You can also control how often a BAD slave may still attempt to render a frame of a job which it has previously been marked bad for.
I think playing with the above settings (both “job” and “slave” based) will prove more fruitful here in the long run. If you are after the exact functionality as stated, then a script could be written using our API and executed via cron for example.
Ol great thanks Mike I’ll look into that.
