Setup guide

6 Use the older application version to remove the project created in step
1. 2012 applications cannot remove projects created with previous
versions because they are read-only.
TIP If you have 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 or 2011 installed on your 2012 system,
you can access the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, or 2011 system remotely to transfer
the media using Wire without interrupting a session on that station. See your
application help.
Configuring Backburner Services
Background Wire transfers and proxy generation rely on Backburner.
Backburner can also be used to manage background processing jobs sent to
Burn
®
render nodes, and distributed transcoding jobs to import certain media
formats, such as REDCODE
™
RAW or OpenEXR.
Backburner Server and Backburner Manager are installed with the Autodesk
Visual Effects and Finishing application, and are set to run automatically when
the workstation starts. By default, the Backburner Server installed on the
workstation communicates with the locally installed Backburner Manager.
Use the following procedure to configure Backburner services on your
workstation.
To configure Backburner services:
1 Make sure Backburner Server is set to run automatically on your
workstation. Type:
chkconfig –-list | grep -i backburner_server
The command should output the following information:
backburner_server 0:off 1:off 2:on3:on4:on5:on6:off
2 If backburner_server is not set to “on” for run levels 3, 4, and 5, type the
following commands to enable it:
chkconfig backburner_server on
/etc/init.d/backburner_server restart
3 Decide if you want to use the locally installed Backburner Manager, or
a centralized Manager installed on another system in your network. It
is recommended to use a centralized Manager if several workstations on
your network use the same farm of Burn render nodes.
