Options group
Enabled Notifications Lets the software send rendering-related messages via
email. When this is on, its Define button becomes available. For information,
see the
Notifications dialog on page 6291 topic.
Define Opens the Notifications dialog, which lets you set notifications
parameters.
Split Scan Lines Lets you subdivide the rendering of each frame among the
rendering servers. This is useful when rendering a single, extremely
high-resolution image intended for printing. For information, see the
Strips
Setup dialog
on page 6293 topic.
When Split Scan Lines is on, its Define button becomes available.
NOTE This feature does not support Render Elements. Also, it's unavailable when
rendering to textures with projection mapping enabled and Sub-Object Levels on.
Define Opens the Strips Setup dialog, which lets you set parameters for the
Split Scan Lines option.
Ignore Scene Path When off, the server attempts to copy the scene file from
the manager to the server. If the manager is running on Windows 2000
Professional, only 10 servers will copy the file from the manager; any machines
over the limit 10 will use TCP/IP to retrieve the file. When turned on, the
servers get the file via TCP/IP only. Default=off.
Rendered Frame Window During rendering, displays the rendered frame
window on all servers running serverapp.exe (not serversvc.exe). Default=on.
Include Maps Archives the scene, with all of its maps, any inserted Xrefs
and their maps, into a proprietary-format compressed file. The compressed
file is sent to each Server, where it is uncompressed into a temporary directory
named serverjob in the \network subdirectory of the program and rendered.
Default=off.
Use this feature if you have access only to Servers that exist over the Internet
or if you have a slow network setup. It is not meant for heavy production use.
However, if you don't use it, you must first ensure that all network servers
have access to all map and Xref paths referred to in the scene.
Initially Suspended Adds the named job to the queue in an inactive state.
The job is not started until you activate it manually from the Backburner
Monitor. See “Monitoring and Managing Jobs” in the Autodesk Backburner User’s
Guide.
