Database

ConfigureMongoDBDatabase

Description:

Configures (or re-configures) a Deadline database. This will connect to MongoDB using the provided information, and prints out server connection info that was used in a successful connection (might be slightly different from the input).

Syntax:

deadlinecommand -ConfigureMongoDBDatabase <Host> <Port> <DB Name> <SSL> <Client Certificate> <Certificate Password> <Authenticate> <Username> <Password> <Replica Set> <Split DB>

Arguments:

Argument	Description
<Host>	The host name or IP address of the database machine.
<Port>	The database port
<DB Name>	The name of the Deadline database.
<SSL>	True if SSL/TLS should be used when connecting to the Database server, False otherwise.
<Client Certificate>	The path to a client x.509 certificate to present when connecting using SSL/TLS. Ignored if SSL is False.
<Certificate Password>	The password to the client certificate provided. Ignored if SSL is False, or if no certificate was provided. If left empty and a password is required, you will be prompted to enter it.
<Authenticate>	True if Deadline needs to authenticate in order to interact with the Database, False otherwise.
<Username>	The username with which to authenticate. If empty, and both Authenticate and SSL are True, the client certificate will be used instead. Ignored if Authenticate is False.
<Password>	The password for the specified user. Ignored if Authenticate is False, or if no user name was provided. Passwords have four modes: 1) Empty - The password will be prompted from standard input 2) A value with the prefix pass: - The portion after pass: is the password. Note that this option is risky, since it will have your password exposed in the command line history 3) A value with the prefix env: - The portion after env: indicates the environment variable to pull the password from (e.g. env:MY_VARIABLE) 4) A value with the prefix file: - The portion after file: indicates the file path to pull the password from (e.g. file:FILE_PATH). The first line of file will be used as password.
<Replica Set>	The name of the Replica set which the Database belongs to, if applicable.
<Split DB>	Whether or not to split Deadline data across multiple databases. These databases will be prefixed by <DB Name> (Default: False).

CreateMongoDBUser

Description:

Attempts to create a Deadline User in the given database. The user will be created with ‘readWriteAnyDatabase’ and ‘clusterMonitor’ roles.

Syntax:

deadlinecommand -CreateMongoDBUser <Connection String> <Authentication Type> <Username (or Certificate)> <Password>

Arguments:

Argument	Description
<Connection String>	The connection string that specifies how to connect to the database (e.g. mongodb://<host>:<port>).
<Authentication Type>	The Type of authentication mechanism to use. Only X509 is currently supported.
<Username (or Certificate)>	The client certificate (X509) in PKCS12 format.
<Password>	The password required to decrypt the client certificate (X509), if applicable. If left empty and a password is required, you will be prompted for it.

GetDatabaseSettings

Description:

Repository Options and Configuration

GetRepositoryRoot

Description:

Returns the repository network root.

Syntax:

deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryRoot

Aliases:

GetRepositoryRoot, Root

Arguments:

Argument	Description
.	No arguments

Example:

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryRoot
    C:\DeadlineRepository10

GetRepositoryRoots

Description:

Returns all repository roots stored in the Deadline config file.

Syntax:

deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryRoots

Aliases:

GetRepositoryRoots, Networks

Arguments:

Argument	Description
.	No arguments

Example:

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryRoots
    C:\DeadlineRepository10
    C:\DeadlineRepository10.0.2.0
    C:\DeadlineRepository_StavromulaBeta

GetRepositoryPath

Description:

Returns the appropriate full path to the given subdirectory of the Repository.

Syntax:

deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryPath [<Subdir>] [<Custom:True|False>]

Arguments:

Argument	Description
<Subdir>	The repository’s sub-directory to retrieve.
<Custom>	Whether or not to check the Custom folder first.

Examples:

If connected directly to the Repository, the result is the path on the Repository share:

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryPath submission\3dsmax\Main\
    C:\DeadlineRepository10\submission\3dsmax\Main

If no first argument is provided, or it is an empty string, the root path is returned:

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryPath
    C:\DeadlineRepository10

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryPath ""
    C:\DeadlineRepository10

If connected via a Remote Connection Server, the paths are cached locally, so the local cache path is returned instead:

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryPath submission\3dsmax\Main\
    C:\Users\SomeUser\AppData\Local\Thinkbox\Deadline10\cache\QC6Q1XV3ZclisdmBNCBAEbj6oc\submission\3dsmax\Main\

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryPath "submission" False
    C:\DeadlineRepository10\submission

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryPath "submission" True
    C:\DeadlineRepository10\custom\submission

Arguments:

Argument	Description
<FilePath>	The repository’s file path to retrieve.
<Custom>	Whether or not to check the Custom folder first.

Examples:

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryFilePath "submission\3dsmax\Main\SubmitMaxToDeadline.ms"
    C:\DeadlineRepository10\submission\3dsmax\Main\SubmitMaxToDeadline.ms

If connected via a Remote Connection Server, the paths are cached locally, so the local cache path is returned instead:

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryFilePath "submission\3dsmax\Main\SubmitMaxToDeadline.ms"
    C:\Users\SomeUser\AppData\Local\Thinkbox\Deadline10\cache\QC6Q1XV3ZclisdmBNCBAEbj6oc\submission\3dsmax\Main\SubmitMaxToDeadline.ms

GetRepositoryOption

Description:

Gets the value of the provided Repository Option if it exists and is exposed.

Syntax:

Arguments:

Argument	Description
<Repository Option>	The name of the Repository Option we want to get

Example:

Get the Job Task Limit value:

C:\>deadlinecommand -GetRepositoryOption JobTaskLimit
