Starting the backburner Manager
Before a network render can begin, Manager must be started on a workstation designated as the manager for the network rendering session, and Server must be started on each workstation participating in the network render.
Note: You can also run the Manager application as a Windows service. Once an application is installed and started as a service, it runs continuously, even after you restart the system. See the backburner Online Help for more information.
To start the Manager application:
- Go to the workstation designated as the render manager.
- Do one of the following:
- Choose Start | Program Files | discreet | backburner Manager.
- Open the discreet/backburner folder and double-click the Manager icon.
The Manager window appears and the messages "Starting Network Manager" and "Loading plugin: combustion render plugin" are displayed.
- To view messages about manager and server activity, keep the Manager window open.
Otherwise, you can minimize the window.
Note: You should start only one Manager application per render network. For information on using multiple managers, see the backburner Online Help.
Message Tags
The "INF" tag that precedes the messages in the Manager and Server windows indicates "information" type messages. The following table lists several message types.
