you have to render the displacements generated by the Ocean Eval nodes > then render the image…
check this tutorial for how to use the Ocean shelf tools

select the envlight1
the Environment Map parameter is pointing to an invalid location
$HFS/houdini/pic/DOSCH_SKIESV2_${F2}SN_lowres.rat
..
$HFS means the location of your Houdini Instalation
for whatever reason this is failing to resolve on your system
it's Windows and spaces in paths - Houdini doesn't like them (nor should it)
it's a pain but I'd really recommend uninstalling Houdini and re-installing
and when the installer asks you where you want to instal Houdini (it will default to “CProgram Files/Side Effects/etc/etc”)
instead use something like
CHoudini14
then in your scene the path to the image will be:
'CHoudini14/houdini_14_0_258/houdini/pic/DOSCH_SKIESV2_125SN_lowres.rat'
HTH

Mantra renders pink if it doesn't find texture.
There is nothing wrong with Houdini. It seems that you have “Show sequences as one entry” turned on therefore it's reading file per frame.
$HFS/houdini/pic/DOSCH_SKIESV2_${F2}SN_lowres.rat
you can see it puts ${F2}. Houdini assumes numbers in file name as frame. For single frame it's dangerous.
