Lustre Projects, Grade, Cut, Etc. Compatibility

Projects created in Lustre 2012 X1 are read & write compatible with Lustre 2013. It is recommended to always start new projects & user settings with 2013 versions. Also, content created in 2013 software are not compatible in released versions

Wiretap Gateway Server Compatibility

Make sure to import content from the Wiretap Gateway compatible with the 2013 version. It is possible to use previous versions of Wiretap Gateway with Lustre 2013, but you won't have access to the new features added in the current project.

Upgrading to the New Wiretap Server Version

Please note that when rendering to the Wiretap Server, the version of the Wiretap Server needs to correspond to the version of the Smoke / Flame project you are writing to.

After installing Smoke & Flame 2013 , the current Wiretap server is 2013. If you need to use the Lustre 2012X1 release to render to a project from Smoke/Flame 2012X1, you need to have the Wiretap Server 2012X1 running.

To revert to the previous version of the Wiretap Server:

  1. Go to /usr/discreet/<smoke_version>/bin.
  2. As root, run ./selectWiretapVersion.py (it will tell you which version is currently running).
  3. Type the number next to the version you wish to run (it may not automatically start the WT server, so afterwards do a: sw_restart).

If you want to go back to the other Wiretap server version, repeat the above steps.

Note on Wiretap Gateway Licensing

You do not need to request a Wiretap Gateway License.
