    I’m trying to figure out how to sort my muster jobs through my submissionscript.

    Right now I’m submitting jobs and they end up in the muster pane in the root. but I want to submit a job, check to see if there is a folder with the projectName on it, if not create that folder, and then submit the job and put the newly submitted job inside that folder.

    I cant seem to figure out how to query only the folders in muster unless I do a LOT of string management myself. I also havnt figured out how to submit a job in under a folder. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

    thanks

    This is what I’ve done so far, it gives me all the folders with their corresponding IDs (feels like there should be a better way though)

    (This is in python)
    dispatcherIP = ‘192.168.0.151’
    user = ‘XXX’
    musterMRToolPath = ‘C:/PROGRA~1/”Virtual Vertex”/”Muster 7″/Mrtool.exe’
    command = musterMRToolPath + ‘ -q j -jobengine “” -s ‘ + dispatcherIP + ‘ -u ‘ +user

    folders = {}
    import subprocess
    proc = subprocess.Popen(command,stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
    while True:
    line = proc.stdout.readline()
    if line != ”:
    try:
    print line.rstrip() + ‘n’
    folders[line.rstrip().replace(‘ ‘, ”).split(‘|’)[1]] = line.rstrip().replace(‘ ‘, ”).split(‘|’)[0]
    print line.rstrip().replace(‘ ‘, ”).split(‘|’)[0], line.rstrip().replace(‘ ‘, ”).split(‘|’)[1]
    except:
    pass
    else:
    break
    print folders

    My problem now is the syntax to create a folder through commandline (I’m running Windows 7):

    Mrtool.exe -b -s 192.168.0.151 -u XXX -folder – results in: Missing folder name.
    Mrtool.exe -b -s 192.168.0.151 -u XXX -folder Name – results in:Invalid flag(7): Name
    Mrtool.exe -b -s 192.168.0.151 -u XXX -folder “Name” – results in:Invalid flag(7): Name
    Mrtool.exe -b -s 192.168.0.151 -u XXX -folder ‘Name’ – results in:Invalid flag(7): ‘Name’

    Any thoughts?

    Hello,

    I came across the same problem, but gave up trying to find the folder names. I decided to create the folder names and write down the ID number associated with it. In my script I just use the ID number for the parent folder. Here is a partial code I use to build the cmdline for submission where I add the parent folder ( in Python ):

    cmdline = ‘%s -parent %d’ % (cmdline,1854) #This ID matches an already created folder called Quicktimes

    What I then do in Muster is make sure that users cannot delete jobs belonging to others. This way that folder doesn’t “accidentally” disappear.

    I agree it would be nice to be able to query Muster to find all the IDs belonging to all the folders, but I have no idea as to how or if Muster tracks folder IDs differently than job submissions.

    Andrew

    Thanks Andrew.
    Yes that is what I did too.
    I’ve send emails about this thread to Virtual Vertex and will post the respnse here when I get it.

    Actually with mrtool (upcoming M8 has a complete python API), there’s no way to filter for folders , but you can put into the results column, the job type flag (type into the -jf flag), this will output if the job is a folder or not…

    -b -folder -n foldername

    straight from the source:-)
    works!
