PRISMJOB sometimes not defined in Houdini

#1 · 30. October 2021, 14:33

I can't exactly reproduce it precisely, but sometimes, when opening scene on another machine (with project loaded from network drive - mapped to the same drive letter so all paths are the same), PRISMJOB is not defined in Houdini. I saw some other post about PRISMJOB variable missing in some other post, so I guess there is something to it. Any ideas what could be the case there?

is the variable empty, or is it missing/not visible in the alias/variable window? I know that most of the time $PRISMJOB is not visible here, but works when queried with

getenv('PRISMJOB')

Yes, It's almost never visible in Alias/Variable window, but in some cases it was not defined at all. Anyway, I will try to reproduce it to be sure.
