Muster Dispatcher Python API

The Muster Dispatcher Python API is available under the MDispatcherAPI module. It can be imported into Python by simply typing:

import MDispatcherAPI

Be aware that , even you can import the MDispatcherAPI module inside any Python script, if will work only inside the Muster builtin Python interpreter and just on the scripts of template functions that are directly invoked by the Dispatcher service. You can still import it widely inside any template, but an attempt to call a function of the Dispatcher from a wrong context, will return an error

A selective way to import modules only when launched from the correct context requires using the builtin muster.runningContext() function call like in the following example:

if (muster.runningContext() == "console"):
    import MConsoleAPI
elif (muster.runningContext() == "dispatcher"):
    import MDispatcherAPI
elif (muster.runningContext() == "renderclient"):
    import MInstanceAPI

Any function exported by the MDispatcherAPI Python module returns always a MUSTERERR object as first. Each time you invoke a function, you must always check against the MUSTERERR object to check if the function has been invoked successfully.

In addition, the function may return a tuple instead of a single object with additional objects. Refer to each function specific documentation for a list of the returned objects:

import MDispatcherAPI
err, jobs = MDispatcherAPI.jobGetList()
if (err.getErrorCode() != 0):
    print("Function failed: " + err.getDescription())
for job in jobs:
    print("Job status: " + str(job.getStatus()) + " name: " + job.getName()) 

The family of the MDispatcherAPI functions can be invoked from within the following contexts:

  • A Console script that targets the Dispatcher execution context
  • onDispatcherOverrideImpersonationUser()
  • onValidateJobSubmission();
  • onDeleteJob()
  • onSubmitJob()
  • onReinitJob()
  • onEditJob()
  • onJobPropertiesChanged()
  • onJobCompleted()
  • onValidateJobDependancies()
  • onValidateChunkDependancies()
  • onJobStart()
  • onJobEnd()
  • onDispatcherIdling()
