Viewing Jobs and Servers with the Queue Monitor

All rendering jobs submitted to the network rendering queue are shown in the Job list window, located on the upper-left side of the Queue Monitor dialog, immediately below the toolbar. Below it is the Server list window, which shows all servers attached to the manager and their status.

Interface

Each job is denoted by an icon reflecting its current status. The servers are also denoted by specific icons that reflect their current status.

Job Icons

: Job is started and has rendered one or more frames. The job is either currently rendering or is awaiting an available server.
: Job is active, but has not yet rendered any frames.
: Job is suspended.

The job was submitted as suspended or was suspended with the Queue Monitor. Suspended jobs must be manually reactivated to give them a started or active status.
: Job is in an error condition.

In the Queue Monitor, check the Errors tab in job information window, to the right of the jobs list, for details regarding the error, such as missing bitmaps, plug-ins, texture coordinates. See Troubleshooting.
: Job is completed.

All frames in the sequence have been rendered successfully. You may delete this job from the queue if you want.

Server Icons

A bar through the server icon indicates that it's assigned to the currently highlighted job or jobs.

: Server is active.

The server is rendering the current started job.
: Server is absent.

The server is assigned to the rendering task but is not currently rendering. This can occur, for example, when the server is turned off or is not running the Server application.
: Server is in an error condition.

Check the Server list Job Status column in the Queue Monitor for details regarding the error, such as missing bitmaps, plug-ins, texture coordinates. See Troubleshooting.
: Server is idle.

The server can be assigned the highlighted job with the toolbar Assign Server button.
