To submit a simple CPU request, issue the follow command:
> ccl --submitJob --template squidnet --appProfile SQUIDNET --jobId squidnet_cpu --projectFolder E:\svn\sceneContent\BlenderScenes\bmw --sceneFile /bmw27_cpu.blend --outputFolder E:\tmp --sceneName default --jobId JOB-$(RANDOM) --startFrame 1 --endFrame 10 --pool NETWORK --renderQueue "PRIORITY 10" --deliveryMethod frame --processingTime 1 --maxProcessingTime 15 --sampleSize 1 --framePerSlice 1
To submit a simple GPU request using the GPU render engine, issue the follow command:
> ccl --submitJob --template squidnet --appProfile SQUIDNET --jobId squidnet_gpu --projectFolder E:\svn\sceneContent\BlenderScenes\bmw --sceneFile /bmw27_cpu.blend --outputFolder E:\tmp --sceneName default --jobId JOB-$(RANDOM) --startFrame 1 --endFrame 10 --pool NETWORK --renderQueue "PRIORITY 10" --deliveryMethod frame --processingTime 1 --maxProcessingTime 15 --sampleSize 1 --framePerSlice 1 --useGpu
Note the "--useGpu" option at the end of the command.
Alternatively, you can use the build-in render farm test command:
> ccl --submitTestJob
