AF_CMD_PREFIX for pdg

Hi there! It seems that $AF_CMD_PREFIX is ignored when using PDG and I can't see any parm on the afanasy scheduler to add any custom stuff to the farm job task. But we are used to define our environment via a custom command before launching any process. Is that something that could be added? Or is t...

Re: Manage Task Dependency with Python API

That sounds great. When would that be available?
And do you have an idea if providing access to custom task dependencies could be available in a near future?

Re: Manage Task Dependency with Python API

I have another question: Is it possible to control the status of block that way, so that I can control when it should start? This question relates to a situation where I have tasks that are not running on CGRU. And I have tasks on CGRU that depend on those tasks. So I would like to control on my sid...

Re: Manage Task Dependency with Python API

Thanks for your feedback! I'm not sure how to use 'tasks_depend_mask'. Could you give me an example for this? If CGRU is only managing task dependency based on frame settings that do only allow start, end and step, we reach quickly limits. As a simple example, I would like to run jobs that render fi...

Manage Task Dependency with Python API

Hi there! I'm wondering how we can manage task dependencies with the Python API. The only thing that I found so far is the `tasks_depend_mask` property on the block object. But I'm not sure how that should be used and how I can control dependencies between specific tasks this way. My idea is to crea...

Re: blender 2.8 beta

Hi there! I'm a complete newbie to Blender and I'm trying to setup Afanasy for Blender. So, I manage to have the addon displayed in the addon list, but when I check it nothing happens. I cannot find the 'Afanasy' menu in the render settings. I do not see any error anywhere. I'm running Blender 3.1.2...

Re: sug: document aj.block.addTicket

Hi there! I'm jumping into this discussion since we are facing similar questions about the new ticketing system. Is there a way that IT could manage this via rules or configurations. Of course, I could implement ticket assignment in the job submission process, but I have the impression that license ...

Re: Run substeps on the farm

Yes, indeed, that is what I'm about to setup. I'm shifting time of my geometry export to put everything back to full frames. Thanks for your feedback!
