When I try to render a simple XSI scene via SubmitToDeadline inside XSI
I get the following error messages… Can anybody help me how to solve this ?
I am running x64 with xsi 6.5 64bit. Thank you 
[code]Scheduler Thread - Render Thread 0 threw an error:

It looks like Deadline is just the messenger in this case, but I googled the problem and found this forum thread that discusses this “Unspecified failure” in XSI:
xsibase.com/forum/index.php? … adid=35760
It mentions that it could be a workgroup issue, and it does mention it could be a 32bit vs 64bit problem. Have you tried rendering the same scene locally within XSI? Another thing you could try is rendering from a command prompt using xsibatch.bat and the same render arguments that Deadline is using (they’re printed out in the slave log) and see if you get the same error message outside of Deadline.
Cheers,
Ryan,
Thank you so much for the link & info
I’ll look into workgroup issues…
Thanks again !!
Thank you Ryan!
Just as you said, there was nothing wrong with Deadline.
I have about 30 xsi plug-in files in my XSI Plugins folder and
one(or more) of them was causing the problem.
So I just created an empty user folder and specified its location in the
setenv for DEADLINE called setenv_DEADLINE.bat
Now my xsibatch doesn’t waste time loading plug-ins that I don’t need
for rendering… it’s Super Fast now !!!
Ryan, your suggestion of test rendering with the Deadline render arguments was really helpful !!!
I thank you again for kindly providing me with the XSI link and all the info!!!
Thank you.

Great, glad to hear it! And thanks for posting the information about the XSI plugin(s) being the cause of the problem. When we update our XSI error message docs, we’ll be sure to include this!
Cheers,
