BatchServe - One Last Try

["Brinkley, Marc" <mbrinkley(at)ea.com>]

Well, I am still hammering away on this and just about ready to give up but I want to take one last stab at this.

 

I set everything up on a fresh server and currently using only one render machine.

 

I submit my test render scene (nothing complex just some geo with a lambert shader and camera animation) and sure enough the rendering fails on exactly the same frames from my previous attempt. Frame 4, 7,  and 9 on a ten frame test always fail. And I get the same error from the client log on the render machine from before. 'ERROR : Operation is not allowed when the object is closed. - [line 175]

 

Its just weird that it always fails at the same point on the same file when run from BatchServe. I can render the same scene from the command line and no problem. But when submitted through BatchServe, without fail it errors out on the same frames. I can even re-submit the error frames from BatchServe and the render still will error out on the re-submit.

 

Amazingly, I submitted the same scene from NetView, this time telling the render options to only render frame 4 to frame 4 and it still failed just trying to render the one frame 4 through BatchServe.

 

The only other thing that I have noticed is when I log into the BatchServe and go to the Admin section under the Version information the mySQL version is listed as <unknown>

 

Any ideas? Anyone ever get anything like this? Anything?

 

I want to exhaust this option first before giving up. I feel like I am so close and just a tweak away from this firing on all cylinders.

 

Thanks everyone!
