Apple Qmaster 4 - Manual (Page 11)

• Notification: Opens a dialog where you can set (or reset) an email address to which the
status of a batch completion or failure can be sent. Apple Qmaster does not currently
support SMTP servers that require authentication. The following list shows the processing
service type followed by the notification label used in the emails and logs:
• Local Compressor service: servicecontroller:com.apple.stomp.transcoder
• Distributed Compressor service: servicecontroller:com.apple.stomp.transcoderx
• Distributed Apple Qmaster service: servicecontroller:com.apple.qmaster.executor
• Share Monitor: Opens Share Monitor, which allows you to view the status of all batches
being processed.
Batch Table
This is the large middle area of the Apple Qmaster window that lists the individual jobs
in a batch.
The Batch table includes the following columns.
• Type: One of four job types: Shake, Maya, Generic Render, Shell (UNIX).
• Command: The actual command for the job.
• Working Directory: If relevant, the directory from which you want the command to be
executed.
Text Fields and Pop-Up Menus
Around its periphery, the Apple Qmaster window includes other important interface
elements for creating and submitting jobs and batches.
• Batch name field: This is where you can enter the name of a particular batch. (This is
the name that appears in Share Monitor.)
• Submit To pop-up menu: Use this pop-up menu to choose an available cluster to process
the current batch.
