    Note

    This jobtype was added in Qube v6.4-2.This jobtype requires Python to be installed on the executing worker.

    What are they, and what do they do?

    These jobs differ from the standard SimpleCmd cmdline- and cmdrange-based jobs in that they will "find" a particular version of a 3rd-party application on the worker when the job runs.  This has several benefits:

    • the The submitting user is not required to know that application's installation path on the remote worker.
    • since Since the application does not include a hard-coded path to the 3rd-party application, the job is able to run across machines of differing operating systems at the same time.
    Warning

    The appFinder jobs do not perform a "best match" for version number; . For example, if AfterEffects CS5.5 is specified, but not installed, it will not use look for CS6 if CS5.5 is not installed.  A .  Instead, a warning message will appear in the job logs, and the job instance will be restarted on another worker.
