[Condor-users] Condor Submit File

[Sameer Bahl <sameer.bahl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I have a windows executable which takes as argument the name of the directory which contains the input files and produces as output a text file in the same directory. I am trying to execute this using condor. My condor pool has a linux machine as central manager while all the execution nodes are windows based.

 

I initially tried to execute with the following submit file:

 

universe = vanilla
environment = path=/home/fyp19wt/Simtest
Requirements = (Arch == "INTEL") && (OpSys == "WINNT50")
should_transfer_files = YES
WhenToTransferOutput = ON_EXIT
executable = /home/fyp19wt/Simtest/SIAEC-Model-V50.exe
output = /home/fyp19wt/Simtest/output.txt
error = /home/fyp19wt/Simtest/test.err
log = /home/fyp19wt/Simtest/test.log
transfer_input_files = ProModel Airport Information.xls,ProModel Airport Location GMT.xls,ProModel Component Optimal Balance.xls,ProModel Flights.xls,ProModel Input Parameters Ground Movements.xls,ProModel Input Parameters.xls,ProModel Model Configurations.xls,ProModel Scenarios.xls,ProModel Service Schedule.xls
Queue
 

 

However in the output file instead of getting the output i got the following message:

Usage: condor_exec.exe <database directory>

 

I then tried to specify the name of the directory which initially contains the input files on the central manager as an argument. the new submit file looked as follows:

 

 

universe = vanilla
environment = path=/home/fyp19wt/Simtest
Requirements = (Arch == "INTEL") && (OpSys == "WINNT50")
should_transfer_files = YES
WhenToTransferOutput = ON_EXIT
universe = vanilla
environment = path=/home/fyp19wt/Simtest
Requirements = (Arch == "INTEL") && (OpSys == "WINNT50")
should_transfer_files = YES
WhenToTransferOutput = ON_EXIT
executable = /home/fyp19wt/Simtest/SIAEC-Model-V50.exe
output = /home/fyp19wt/Simtest/output.txt
error = /home/fyp19wt/Simtest/test.err
log = /home/fyp19wt/Simtest/test.log
transfer_input_files = ProModel Airport Information.xls,ProModel Airport Location GMT.xls,ProModel Component Optimal Balance.xls,ProModel Flights.xls,ProModel Input Parameters Ground Movements.xls,ProModel Input Parameters.xls,ProModel Model Configurations.xls,ProModel Scenarios.xls,ProModel Service Schedule.xls
Arguments = /home/fyp19wt/Simtest
Queue

 

With this as the submit file, there is no output produced. The output.txt file is empty.

 

Can someone please help me with this. Any help would be much appreciated. How should i specify the submit file so that the execution machine looks for the input files at the correct place. I do not know how to specify the name of the directory which contains all the input files after transfer. The executable requires this as an argument to execute.

 

Thanks.

Sameer
