Activating and Deactivating Jobs in the Queue

As requirements change, you can deactivate an active or pending job in the rendering queue, or reverse the process and restart jobs that are inactive.

Reference

When you deactivate a job, the servers assigned to the job either drop the frame they are rendering or finish writing the frame, depending on where they are in the rendering process. The next pending job becomes active and begins to render.

You can reactivate a suspended job, or a job that was submitted as Inactive from the Network Job Assignment dialog.

How To

To deactivate a job

1. Select an active or pending job in the Job Queue list.
2. Do one of the following:
• Click the Activate/Deactivate button on the tool bar (the light-bulb icon).
• Choose Activate/Deactivate under Actions on the menu bar.
• Right-click the job name in the Job Queue list to display a popup menu and select Activate/Deactivate.

If necessary, use Views/Refresh to view the new queue status.

To activate a suspended or inactive job

1. Select the inactive job (denoted by a gray box).

The Activate/Deactivate button becomes active in the toolbar.

2. Click the Activate button, or use the menu bar or right-click menu.

The job becomes either active or pending in the queue, depending on whether or not another job is currently rendering.
