Hello there,
We wanted to do a ‘preview’ frame of all the jobs in the queue, I suggested that one can rightclick on a task and ‘resubmit task’ - which is exactly what we want to do, but we have lots of jobs to do this on - so I did a quick scan of the helpfile and was unable to find anything.
I’ve written python scripts for deadline already etc. So is there a way that I can selected multiple jobs, then run a command that resubmits task 1 on each job? Without having to manually get all the job info and build it all gain?
Cheers,
Simon
Hi Simon,
Just to double-check, when you say the “task 1 on each job”, are you referring to the first “task” of each Deadline job, which would be “task 0” as this could be a different “frame number” depending on the frame-range previously submitted OR are you referring to always the “2nd task” in each Deadline job (if it exists as it could be a still frame, thereby only containing task 0), which is “task 1”?
Thanks,
Mike
Yes you’re right I should have said task 0 but it doesn’t matter that much anyway as I am sure it would just involve me typing the number in my script!
Hi Simon,
Just to let you know that a new right-click job script will be in v6.2, which allows you to batch re-submit jobs by frame or task (first task on all selected jobs for example), it supports frame or task ranges such as “0-10x2,20-30,31,32” as well as ChunkSize (Frames per Task or to confuse further, Tasks per Task). Unfortunately, the script uses a few calls to job properties which are not yet exposed until the newer v6.2 is available. Deadline v6.2 is currently in beta and this script should hopefully find it’s way into build 7. Thanks for the feature request!
Mike
Okay thanks for letting me know
