Hi,

Is there any PDG python API to force workitem to use “Write Files” mode for the caching mechanism?
Doesn't really work in our case because of some deletion restriction

Thanks

set pdg_cachemode to “Write File”

set pdg_cachemode to “Write File”

Maybe SideFX has a more elegant way?

delete the cache file manually or with script. PDG node will check the cache file before onPrepareTask(work_item)

That looks like some workaround solution. Especially from the view of just triggering workitem state (Read/Write). I would be surprised that we don't have API control under UI functionality.

I've just written a detailed response on this topic on a different thread: https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/72997/ [www.sidefx.com]

In summary – we're working on some improvements to the caching mechanism, which includes making it more configurable. Those changes will be available in the next few days.
