1. With local cache you're not locking workflows to one host . You're locking to the host that initiate the first processor. From then it's the same host doing all subsequent processors. And this is the only way it can work when not using shared cache.

2. My suggestion was to enable any processor ...

Hi knk,

So let's see if I can paint the picture correct. And let's just for clarity use the term "host" for computers doing the dirty work. In FFAStrans context a "node" is the boxes also known as processors.
Anyway, if I understand properly, you want to be able to configure a processor to lock all ...

Hi arjuice,

The FTP implementation in FFAStans is not as good as I want it to be. We use the in built Windows API for this and it's not optimal. I'm expecting one day to rewrite this stuff to use a more modern external library.
Retrying is a slightly different problem. We're aware of the situation ...

Hi artjuice,

You will probably be able to do something by using the "Job processing slots" counter configurable separately on each node. So you can have one workflow so when it reach the AirSpeed part you can configure it to use a higher number of slots of the total number available on the host. So ...

Hi artjuice,

FFAStrans is initially designed to be 100% hardware agnostic. ASIC (not GPU) encoding defeats this design. However, the subject appears from time to time and we're discussing the topic every now and then. And we totally get the request but it's a bigger beast than what appears on the ...

Hi artjuice,

For reference I use https://regex101.com/ with PCRE2 (PHP >=7.3) when I test my regexes. So this is a good start so you know your regex is corret. And as @emcodem points out, you don't need the regext start/stop slashes. However, you do need to set if you want case insensitive in the ...

Hi lue3099, sorry for the late reply!

At first it might look like a good idea but this menu is generic to all nodes. Picking one particular setting from one or more particular node(s) and exposing it like that is very ad-hoc and bad design. Another problem, especially with the delivery node ...

I don't want to dictate how users wants to view their job status. Making it optional is obviously something worth considering. If not to add as option, one could also have an alternative column called "Job name".... which by default can be derrived from the file name and changed by the user by ...

Hi DCCentR,

Reading the def_logs I notice that the monitoring of '\\nas05.tv.lan\SonyAdv' does not even start. So it's natural that it does not pick up anything. However, WHY it does not start is a bit of mystery.
Could you please send the current workflow id 20241011-1720-1341-8ee6-84ca025e8ed0 ...

I'm not quite clear, do you mean this is meant to be the solution for my “Got error code 6” error or is it meant to solve the execution of subsequent processors when getting an error in the previous one?

No, it's about making sure all i/o to the db folder is without any caching. This should will ...
