Send job that does not exists yet on RR

[Dimitri Marquette]

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to force RR to accept a Scene File Name that does not exists yet.

For example:

I want to have 2 jobs:

1 that will render .ass on the farm

1 that will render that .ass file to .exr with the -wait id option

But since the file does not exists yet, it won't let me send job on the farm. I'm aware that I could just to a post script to launch the second job but I was wondering if there is a cleaner way to do this.

Best regards,

Dimitri

Hi

 

There are two options:

1. Create a .xml file with both jobs.
   The rrSubmitter detects that the output of the first job is the same as the scene of the second job.
   
   
2. Use the commandline flag -NoSceneExistCheck

Hi Holger,

Finally the XML thing did the trick, but I had to keep in mind that I need to fill the .xml submit file with the .<FN4>.ass sceneName for the kick job to work otherwise the parser.dll would try to load it anyway.

Perfect, thanks a lot for the help.

Best regards,

Dimitri
