Have pulse commands to manage (suspend, resubmit, change priority…), the queue? Or only are query commands to do consults (get job list, job details…)?
Thanks!
Hello,
So the web service through Pulse is only able to do get type commands, not something you can write a command with, only read the data. For the types of requests you are asking about, you would need to use the RESTful API, which is accessible via the Python API in Deadline(thinkboxsoftware.com/deadline-6-jobrequests/) has a few of the ones you mention, and a lot more you may not have considered.
Once you have the APIs set up, one example would be suspending a job, which would require a url like:
PUT hostname:portnumber/api/jobs
with a JSON object that issues the command, the jobID, and the handles for the possible messages(for more see thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … uspend_Job) . This will take a big of programming, do you have anyone on staff who can do this? Let us know.
Thanks for reply!
I see is very hard for me write a little web monitor for manage jobs.
Resulting this requirements to make it, I’m arise a question. How is your not offer a Web Monitor tool in Deadline package?
Would be intersesting, cos not all are big studios with important development department.
RoyalRender, SquidNet, or RenderPal have web based management/monitor.
Hello Alberto,
As far as I am aware, it’s just never come up as something on our road map. I will pass this request along to our devs for possible consideration.
Hello Alberto,
I just got word back on this from the dev team, and they advised that while they have been wanting to do this for awhile, they have struggled with making a web interface that was as functional as the Monitor is, while maintaining the flexibility and performance. Hopefully in the future we can have something, even if it only starts as read only.
