"Path Translation Rules" (PTR) are actually always required, even in networks where all computers share the same operating system. There, you need them if you trigger jobs with a local path to a scene. In so-called heterogenous networks it is a little more difficult, because different operating systems also use different path notations. Without these path translations rules it is impossible for RealFlow to identify the directories where the simulation data are stored. The result is that the node cannot contribute to a simulation. One of the most important things with path translation rules is to look at everything from the view of the computer with the “Job Manager” running.
