Creating renditions is a part of an Export Package (to Portal) job.
This is very error sensitive and source of failing package sends.
This results in failed export jobs from which it is hard to recover.
It also does not seem possible to do a good check if renditions are up-to-date (everything is renderen over and aver again).
Please exclude the rendition phase from the Export Package job.
Clear now, added to the backlog. Thx.
No, that is the main issue...
This does not seem to work, all drawings are rendered again (and we know for sure that they are up-to-date).
Under Jobs | <Export Job> | Rendering | Settings (tab) there is an option Use existing rendition (Publish existing renditions if they are up-to-date.) Would that help?
Yes and no, The rendition part of the job still consumes most of the time.
Most of the time renditions are up-to-date but when this is not the case, the rendition should be updated. I think I should work as designed, the problem is the trigger for generating the PDF when needed. It triggers always.
In the publish job settings you can deselect all render engines. Does this work in your case?
