[dexen] Version hou-0.3.4.​1- Gnererate job defenition missing

[Nittin Vignesh]

Patrick,

    I am using [dexen] Version hou-0.3.4.​1 32 bit version and there was no "generate job definition" option in that. The command did not work nor it was shown in the list of commands. I went back to [dexen] Version hou-0.3.3.​7 to generate the job definition. Is there some other command or way to do it in the latest version or am i going somewhere. looking forward for your advice.

 

Regards,

nittin

Hi Nittin,

In the later version, the generate_job_definition command has become part of the start_new_job (snj) command. The snj command will automatically generate necessary files before it will start running the job if the can find the settings.xml file in the root folder of the job definition. So you just need to specify the root folder of the job definition when you run the start_new_job command.

Let's say you want to name your job 'Job1' and the root folder of the job definition which contains the settings.xml is c:\houdini. Then you just need to type 'snj Job1 c:\houdini'

Hope this helps,

Cihat
