Online Performance Reports
| Info |
|---|
Online performance reporting is only available on Linux platforms in 6.10-0, and support for Windows and OS X will be added in later versions. |
Accessible through the metered licensing website, we introduce Online Performance Reporting which are , by-the-minute reports charting that provide users with actionable data on how their Supervisors are doing at any given time. With an initial focus on operations and stability, the graphs will reveal site stress, distribution rates and other data points that help wranglers reallocate and troubleshoot. For 6.10-0, online performance reporting is only available for Linux platforms. Support for OS X and Windows will be added in the future.

The Data Relay Agent (DRA) will be replacing the Metered License Agent (MLA)
As part of the Online Performance reports, the Data Relay agent can also take over the worker license usage reporting that was previously performed by the Metered License Agent. We will be phasing out the MLA and replacing it with the DRA on any platform that supports the System Metrics Collectors. In 6.10-0, this means only on Linux, but Windows and OSX will also see the MLA replaced by the DRA in future versions.
C4D Take System
Available only in ArtistView, Qube! now supports submission for the Cinema 4D Take System.

Deferred Table Creation is now the default behavior
Added as an option in a previous version of Qube!, this optimization for submitting a large number of jobs simultaneously will be on by default starting with 6.10-0.
Job Modification
Modifications made to jobs will now run multi-threaded as opposed to running single threaded as they did in previous versions of Qube!, and additional verbosity will be available in logs for jobs that were modified.
