That is SPECTACULAR! Is there a WebInt API call for the Running jobs that I could use as well?
I tried 3002/getactivejobsajax_treegrid.js , but it responds with 404 and "Cannot GET /getactivejobsajax_treegrid.js" even through there is a job running and showing on the WebInt.

In processing 500+ legacy jobs, I've discovered the the 3 sources of job history all have varying results:
API /monitor
API /history
Web interface

Clearing logs from the Monitor, leaves records in the API and Deleting rows in the Web Interface leaves them in the API.
Ideally, all History ...

Then an API-submitted job will NOT start before a Watch Folder?
I tested it using the GUI, thinking a "submitted" was the same as if "submitted" with the API.
Watching it now, but won't know if that's the case until a production file comes in sometime today.

No, no...I DID find a way...all our production jobs are submitted with the API, thus will take priority.
The backlog of old files can be done from a Watch Folder, humming along until a production job is submitted and goes to the front of the line.

Ah...there's the answer:

submitted jobs are always the higher priority

I/we don't user watch folders, everything is submitted via scripts from various processes.
With that knowledge, I can architect something to get what I need.
Thank you good sir!

After my request to add the priority to the job submission via API, I tried our idea to duplicate the job with a lower priority.


Submit File1 to WorkflowPriorityNormal
Submit File2 to WorkflowPriorityNormal
Submit File3 to WorkflowPriorityLow
Submit File4 to WorkflowPriorityLow
Submit File5 ...

Sorry, am confused. I'm submitting with the API, so as I'm understanding it, unless I want all jobs to be lower priority, it would have to be submitted to a duplicate that has a lower priority. Scheduling isn't an option, we get produciton files throughout the day and night.

So I'd want to duplicate the workflow and change priority?

I'm about to start processing about 500 "old" videos that are very low priority.
It would be great if I could specify some priority when submitting each so that our normal production processing isn't delayed while these get done whenever nothing else is going on.

Thanks! Found that and took care of it. I'm still using 1.0.0 I didn't realize that there was a new release. Suggestion: Change the topic of "Bug reporting and FFAStrans 1.0.0" to the latest version for bug reporting - simply as a visual alert that there is a newer version without going to the ...
