REZ package needs more documentation

[Benoit Prévost]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to setup my configs for RR to be inline with our package manager and it seems that the documentation from the new docs (RR9) has disappeared.  Can someone point me toward where can I learn more how to handle this ? I tried to setup the variables that were documented in the docs before
i.e 
REZ_CONFIG_FILE_WIN =   //path/to/configs.py
REZ_EXE_WIN =  executable.exe

and I'm getting those in my logs

Feb 12. 12:33.12| REZ: config set, but no pack name 

Error found in this log file (255): ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rez.rex'

30| Error found in this log file (260): Error: Python fatal error .

31| Error found in this log file (268): ++ Error: Application or plugin contains a bug. (Crash was caused by a NULL pointer memory access).

A single pointer to docs about the REZ support would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If I enter REZ into the help search, the help page is found :

http://www.royalrender.de/help/RezPackageManager.html

 

I will see if there is an issue with the update of the local installed help files.

 

 

> but no pack name 
The rrSubmitter reads the loaded REZ environment at submission.
It reads the env var REZ_USED_RESOLVE and puts in into the job custom data RezPacks.

This custom data is shown in rrControl, tab Job Info. In the line after the output name.

There are two modes if the job you submitted does not contain RezPacks.
a) Do not use REZ at all.

b) Auto-generate a pack name.
The generated pack name is <RenderApp>-<version>.
For example "Maya-2022.1"
Enable this setting with the line
REZ_AUTO_PACK_NAME = 1

> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rez.rex'

We have packed a new REZ version into the latest update as there had been some issues on some sites with the other version.

Which RR version do you use?

Hi Holger,

Thanks for the quick update. Yesterday, the only online doc available was this path : https://www.royalrender.de/help8/ (seems offline today) so it might have been on me. Thanks for the link for the online doc.

I'm using the latest version of RR 9.0.02

I'll run some more test and see if I can setup REZ properly. Let me know if thereès a known issue with that version.

Cheers
Benoit P
