Toon Boom Harmony 10.3 Documentation: Reading The Schedule Status List

Reading The Schedule Status List

When you display the Schedule Status list, the information appears in three separate sections:

•

Key: Lists the abbreviations the status schedule uses for the Environments, the two types of batch processes you can schedule on a machine, and the abbreviations the other columns use in the list.

•

SCHEDULE STATUS: Displays the processing status of each Rendering or Vectorizing machine in the network.

•

Summary: (Appears directly below the Schedule Status section) displays a summary of which machines are performing a specific type of batch processing (vectorize or render).

The following table describes the contents of the SCHEDULE STATUS list:

Column Title	Description
R	The first column displays an R for each machine that has the tbprocess program running on it. tbprocess must be running on a machine in order for that machine to do batch process work. For more information on starting tbprocess on Linux, see Starting the Batch Processing Queue on Linux. For more information on starting tbprocess on Windows, see Starting the Batch Processing Queue on Windows. If an R does not appear for a machine, the SCHEDULE STATUS list displays what would be scheduled if the tbprocess program was running on it.
SD	The second column displays if an Environment is shut down for batch processing on that machine. You can specify that certain machines don't process Environments by selecting which machines should be shut down (or turned off). An asterisk (*) appears in the SD column to indicate that one or more Environments have been shut down for that machine. For more details on how to shut down Environments, see Shutting Down and Starting Up Environments.
machine	The third column displays the name of the networked machine that is configured to accept batch processing Jobs.
state	The fourth column indicates whether the machine is ON or OFF. ON: the machine is scheduled to batch process. OFF: the machine is not scheduled (for the time you specified) to batch process.
vec `status`	The fifth and sixth columns list the type of batch processing the machine is scheduled to do (Vectorize batch processing and/or Render batch processing). If an asterisk (*) appears in these columns for a machine, then this type of batch processing is scheduled for this machine. If a machine is scheduled to do both types of batch processing, the machine performs both types alternatively; it processes an entry from the Vectorize Queue, vectorizes the data, and then take an entry from the Render Queue.
Environments	The seventh column displays the Environments that are scheduled to be batch processed on a machine. The machine batch processes only the data from the Environments listed in this column.
pri	This eighth column displays the priority level for batch processing on a machine. You can prioritize Environments so that one machine can perform the batch processing before another. If an asterisk (*) appears in the pri column, the Environments are prioritized for that machine. The priority order for the environments appears in the Environments column (reads from left to right, highest to lowest priority).
nexteventTime	This final column displays the date and time of the next status change for that machine, according to the defined batch processing schedules. For example, even though the hickey machine is OFF at the moment, the Time column displays the next time its status will change is at 12:53 on Wednesday, March 8th. This can indicate that a Periodic or Supervisory Schedule is set for this machine.
