Hi
Looking at these docs http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/tops/custom_scheduler.html [www.sidefx.com]
Feels like some info is missing.
Would be great to have a more in-depth document how to wrap up the scheduler into a HDA.

The tag value is not currently used. The system only checks if tag named jobParm exists.

Its says “jobParm” in the document but in the picture it says “pdg::scheduler”, which one should it be?

My python code uses "'tag' : " for any parm that I want to be overridden by any node
Should it be jobParm?

Cheers
Jens

And
Having both Deadline and Tractor schedulers in there doesn't seam to add them to any nodes either.
What do I need to do for the schedulers spare parms to show up on the TOP nodes
Running 17.5.265
Cheers

The tag name should be pdg::scheduler. We'll update the docs. Also to get them to show up under spare parms, you'll need to place all those sparms under a folder called “Job Parms” (see the docs screenshot you linked). Check out the Type Properties for our shipped schedulers.

Agreed that the Custom schedulers docs needs to be updated.

I've updated the documentation to fix both issues (pdg::scheduler, and note about Job Parms folder).

And there seams to be a hidden parm on the built in schedulers
Whats is that for?
And do I need it?
Cheers

Good news - you don't need it. That's just a vestigial parm that can be removed.
