What’s New?¶

STK Parallel Computing Server 2.7¶

Added the ability to restrict a task to agents running a specific OS by adding OS_Platform to CommonResources and adding OSPlatform. See Control Agent that is Selected to Run Task for an example using CommonResources.

Minor bug fixes and improvements.

Fixed a bug where task.properties would become inaccessible if an exception occured during the task’s execution.
Using task.properties[TaskProperties.HOST_START_TIME] and task.properties[TaskProperties.HOST_END_TIME] now return the correct start and end times of a task’s execution on its host process.
An optional boolean, listen_for_cancellation_event, can now be passed as an argument to job.cancel() to match the expected behavior described in Method 2 of the “Cancel Job And All Its Child Tasks” section of the documentation.

Updated to work with Ansys licensing.

Updated for version 2.2 of the STK Parallel Computing Server Coordinator and Agent services, which are now available on Linux.

The minimum required version of Python has been increased to Python 3.6.

The first release of the API for Python!
