This page documents the complete set of parameters, which may not be needed or be exactly the same for individual applications; specific submission targets do not use all the parameters defined here.

Qube Output Parsing and Validation

• Min File Size
  Used to test the created output file to ensure that it is at least the minimum size specified. Put in the minimum size for output files, in bytes. A zero (0) disables the test.

• regex_highlights
  Used to add highlights into logs. Enter a regular expression that, if matched, will be highlighted in the information messages from stdout/stderr.

• regex_errors
  Used to catch errors that show up in stdout/stderr. For example, if you list "error: 2145" here and this string is present in the logs, the job will be marked as failed. This field comes pre-populated with expressions based on the application you are submitting from. You can add more to the list, one entry per line.

• regex_outputPaths
  Regular expression for identifying outputPaths of images from stdout/stder.  This is useful for returning information to the Qube GUI so that the "Browse Ouput" right-mouse menu works.

• regex_progress
  Regular expression for identifying in-frame/chunk progress from stdout/stderr. Used to identify strings for relaying the progress of frames.

• regex_maxlines
  Maximum number of lines to store for regex matched patterns for stdout/stderr. Used to truncate the size of log files.

Qube Actions

• generateMovie
  Add linked job to generate movie from output images. It will launch a second submission dialog to convert the images to a movie. This addresses the common action chain of rendering images and then converting those images into a Quicktime or similar movie. Note: This function will only work on jobtypes that retrieve the output image filenames into Qube (Maya, 3dsMax, Softimage, AfterEffects, etc).
