Practical example Renderman job

The next step is to combine all of the information in this tutorial to create a dummy Renderman workflow

This tutorial requires an understanding of :

Feel free to download an run the below script as it setup a job that will :

Create a Parent Rib Job that is set to run the command "sleep 20" with a range of 60
Create a Blocked Child Renderman Job that is set to run the command "sleep 20" and waits for the Parent Rib job to complete before starting

This script differs very little from the Advanced Dependencies script

job['package']['simpleCmdType'] = 'Maya BatchRender (rib)'

This was added to the Parent job to assign the UI type to the job

job['prototype'] = 'renderman'

job['package']['simpleCmdType'] = 'Renderman Job'

This was added to the Child job to assign the UI type to the job

Using the technique from the Basic python job submission III. SimpleCmd Compatibility and Application Specific Parameters page you can create you own custom code to fill in the required job/package details

This concludes the Beginner "Python submission and dependencies"

Should you require any clarification of any of the tutorial please feel free to leave comments
