Hi,

Can anybody explain what is the rule/condition to add spare “Scheduler” tab?
Some times we have multiple “Schedulers” tabs in our custom nodes - how to avoid adding new “Schedulers” tab to existed one?

Thanks

I'm using 17.5.360.
But also would be nice to know what the condition for the last 18 build

For example: ImageMagick TOP node has (inside OnCreated script):
kwargs['node'].hdaModule().updateCommand(kwargs)
Should we follow the same for each custom node?

In 17.5 TOP nodes automatically update their Schedulers tab with new job parms when loaded. There may be cases when it gets confused and adds a second tab. If this happens it shouldn't cause any errors but will be a messy layout. You may try ensuring there aren't any free-floating parms (they are all in the top level tabbed-folder layout).

In 18.0 this doesn't happen at all. Job parms are added manually with Node Properties as described here: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/tops/schedulers.html#jobparms [www.sidefx.com]

No automatically added scheduler job parms for H18 - is all correct?
