Cloned Job Issue

[disadmin]

Description:

When using Backburner 2017 I submit network rendering job from 3ds max 2017 and then clone the job in Backburner Monitor, that cloned job does not get rendered. It is not even showing frames in Task Summary in Backburner Monitor window.

If I submit the network rendering job from 3ds max 2012 to the Backburner 2017 that job is rendered and cloned job gets rendered as well.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Prerequisite: Backburner Manager 2017 and Backburner Server 2017 should be configured and should be running in order to be able to do Network Rendering.

2. In 3ds max 2017 create a simple scene with one object and one light.

3. in Render Setup window specify output file for rendering.

4. in Render Setup window specify frame range: 0 to 5

5. Submit To Network rendering

6. In Network Job Assignment window press Connect button to connect to Backburner Manager

7. When connected press Submit

8. Start Backburner Monitor and connect to Backburner Manager

9. When connected select submitted job and check if it is being rendered

10. Observe Task Summary tab on right side of Monitor window: it should show six rows (0-5) of frames with status Assign or Complete

11. With the job selected press to menu Jobs -> Clone Job. Another job with the same name should be created.

12. Select cloned job and observe Task Summary tab on the right side of Monitor Window

13. Note that there are no frame rows in the Task Summary tab. Correct behavior is to have cloned job with same amount of frames.

Hello @disadmin,

I wasn't being clear, my fault.  What I mean is that inside the bug tracking system I have included a link to your thread and repro steps posted here.  Basically immortalizing your contribution to the repro steps.  The link is for the devs to your post.  Thank you for doing that.  There is no fix for the cloned job problems right now and if one surfaces I will update you in this thread.

Best Regards,
