Re: script log at startup
The delay thing may be a clue. I had this issue, and it turned out to be a bad drive(local) in my system. The read and writes were cripplingly slow. Once I replaced the drive with a new one, all was good. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. Best Regards, * Stephen P.

RE: script log at startup
Thanks for the ideas everyone. I’m really confused by the fact that Soft will successfully read scenes in via Merge any time, will Save and Open (only what was just saved) scenes within the same session, but can’t Open any scene anytime. I can create materials and add textures from either Pictures or Render Pictures from that same database, but everything in Scenes is off limits unless its been created in the same session. Scenes directory, of the assigned default database, the same database that I can read from Pictures and Render Pictures, is where the stamp files are getting left behind. I’m leaning more and more to the idea that there is something going on is Soft that is broken or unable to properly complete its task that is part of the issue. It’s as if there is some sort of database validation process that Soft performs that has become impaired by the changes to the server, validating scenes but ignoring everything else. There a new thing as well. For nearly 3 years I’ve fought with delays in this system when mounting the remote drive (where the database is), Softimage constantly warning me that the system took 20 something seconds or whatever to mount the drives. That’s gone now. Access to the remote drive is freaking instant. But I cant “open” any scene. How wonderful is that… I can only think of one thing as bizarre in all the years I’ve been doing animation. Some 28 years ago I could save files in Cubicomp with numbers at the front of the scene filenames, but reading them back in would cause all sorts of mayhem. No digits at the beginning of a DOS filename. To this day I avoid naming a file to start with a digit. But that was the way of MS-DOS… -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES II) Science Systems and Applications Inc.

RE: script log at startup
The best you can do is activate real time script logging including verbose mode in your scripting preferences. There might be an additional environment variable or two which can be activated, but those would be for specific contexts such as debugging operators. When faced with this problem I usually created self installing plugins (events) to trigger when needed for these types of things so at least I'd get an idea of when stuff would happen in the context of startup. Another thing you could try is to create a dummy plugin, such as a startup event, and use Microsoft Visual Studio (C++) to 'attach to process' in the debugger and see if it can sniff what XSI does on startup while attempting to load the plugin. Still likely on the outside looking in, but you might pick up at least a few hints of what's going on to help steer your next step of troubleshooting. You can likewise try GDebug or similar tool for sniffing a custom OpenGL shader to get similar info. We did this a lot at Carbine as a means to get issues diagnosed, reported, and fixed.or at least diagnosed and reported. Matt Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2016 18:04:51 + From: "Ponthieux, Joseph G.

Mmm I don't think you can then worry about SI being the only one having
issues, that could be anything, even the smallest thing, that just makes
the SI file do it. I guess you revert your change, and you will be up
and working again.
I doubt you can prove what you need to prove, other than reverting your
network change, and then SI should save ok again. I am guessing that
there is some sort of Bureaucracy that is making you need to prove the

From the local machine there are no issues whatsoever. But when

Locally the system works fine. Your spidey sense is also on spot. A change was affected prior to all this. We suspect the same but can't prove it. I'm trying to rule out the application side first. What's weird is that it is strictly specific to Softimage only. Nothing else is affected. Until I can rule out the epic fail as caused by SI, this isn't helping. EOL is when again?

RE: script log at startup
I just need to know what the software does on startup. In particular what tests it runs or files it creates, updates, etc. In particular is there any part of the startup process that is failing but not preventing Soft to run. Currently Soft is able to save a scene, it can then read it back in, but if I close Soft the saved file is no longer readable the next time Soft is run. I've deleted preferences. It is doing the same regardless what version of Soft I use. -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES II) Science Systems and Applications Inc.
