Cannot Submit from AE in RR7

[mdreams]

Hi Holger,

We have just finished upgrading to RR7. So far, i have to say i'm very impressed! some very cool features.

One problem we are having, is when you submit a job from After Effects, is the submitter is showing No Clients to select, and the groups are all grayed out.

Also, on the submitter under Softimage and Renderer, I do not see AFX anywhere.

Help please!
thanks.

We have figured out what happened.

I had cleaned out some of the older Render Apps in the Client/Config > Render Apps section (by the way, centrally managing this in rrConfig is WAY better than having to set in all the clients!). After removing these old Render Apps, i Saved the changes.

I went back in to check the changes and everything seemed fine. The clients.ini went from 55k to 40k in size.

However, after a while we noticed that AFX had gone from the submitter, i checked the rrConfig render apps again. To my surprise, ALL the Render Apps were all the same on all systems! My guess is that they all copied from the first machine in the list.

Not sure what caused this to happen, since it was fine for a while after the old Render Apps were removed.

Can you look into this, as it's a pretty large bug for us if the render apps are copying from the first in the list.

thanks.
