My understanding is 

 

a) When we mention path to Java.exe in condor configure file then its the universe = java which is most important and that is why we don't mention java in executable. [Condor picks up java.exe from the path mentioned on the executing machine]

 

b) Executable file/s is/are transferred to the executing machine.

 

So when you say that 'You'd have to specify jvm as your executable'  [in case of grid universe] do you mean

 

a) java.exe (and files that it depends upon, if any) will be transferred to the executing machine ?

b) I read somewhere that when condor is transferring files it uses its base64(?) coding that increases the sizes of file to 33%. If that's true then my question is does that hold true for the executable files as well or not?

 

Could you put me right please.

 

Thanks
