Net job event to copy files from server to workstation

[caseymcbride]

How do I use the Net Job Events to copy frames in an output folder on a server to an identical folder structure on my workstation after a chunk finishes? I'd like to be able to identify who submitted the job, based on username in RenderPal and copy to their workstation for compositing work. I do not have a lot of Python experience but I am well versed using Windows bat commands?

Thanks!

Here is the Python script I came up with... The Python works in Maya to copy the files, however, in RenderPal I get nothing once the job completes. I am running the Python script from Server once netjob completes. I am running the RenderPal Server under my user name so it should have access to my mapped network drives. In this case my workstation folder. Should I get some kind of prompt from RenderPal on my print commands?

Code: Select all

import os
import shutil

def copytree(src, dst, symlinks=False, ignore=None):
    for item in os.listdir(src):
        s = os.path.join(src, item)
        d = os.path.join(dst, item)
        if os.path.isdir(s):
            print 'No Folder Exists...Copying Tree'
            shutil.copytree(s, d, symlinks, ignore)
        else:
            print 'Folder Exists...Copying Contents'
            shutil.copy2(s, d)

print '...Copying Files...'

#getting the top folder location of my rendered images on this job from RenderPal
networkLoc = '$(RenderSet.outdir)'

#this is mapped to my shared workstation folder that can be accessed by my username
workstationLoc = 'B:\\ImagesLocation\\'

copytree (networkLoc, workstationLoc)

When running a net job Python event on the server side, all prints go to the output window ("Main program").
