Re: [Condor-users] MCR MATLAB Issues

[Nicola Pavlov <pavlov_nick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
 
Ali, u r right. For the executable to be extracted it searches for Hello.ctf first. it extracts it and the run the job. That's y ".ctf" files should be viewable by the PATH(windows) and LD_LIBRARY_PATH(linux). Moreover, the Hello.exe can be run on machines without matlab installed. But to do that, u have to install MCR on that machine and put all the shared libraries in the PATH.
 
Hope the link below would help:

Hi All,

           I also have same problem in running the matlab based program on on Condor. I just want to add some more explaination. If we build an executable file like Hello.exe using matlab lcc compiler, then another file Hello.ctf also generated. So on target platform we have to send both these files Hello.exe and Hello.ctf. At run time first Hello.ctf is decrypted by MCR. I also don't know how this whole process will work. I also need help in running matlab based executables on Condor.

 

Regards

Mohsin Ali

Hi -

I initially had some great success with getting MATLAB compiler compiled code (using lcc), but lately I'm having trouble with the jobs that have been submitted running on remote WinXP hosts.

The main error I'm currently getting back is "??? Undefined function or variable 'matlabrc'."

Some machines are also giving me:
Could not create directory: 'C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\mcr_v75\main_6C985847B4BE48E9B6364FFEB5FFBE97'
??? Undefined function or variable 'matlabrc'.

I don't understand why it would be attempting to write out to this location on the C: drive.

condor_submit script is as follows:
universe = vanilla
requirements = (OpSys == "WINNT51") && (Memory >= 100)
notify_user=<removed>@northwestern.edu
should_transfer_files = YES
environment = "PATH=c:\WINDOWS\system32\"
when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT
executable = condor_win32_alab.bat
arguments = $(process) 40 reverse
output = alab_$(process).out
error = alab_$(process).err
notification = Error
log = general.log
queue 1

And the bat file I'm using to get things up and running (the MCR libraries are served from a Linux host running samba):
set
net use m: \\<removed>\lab_bin /USER:condor /PERSISTENT:no <removed>
set PATH=m:\extrabin\win32\mcr\v75\runtime\win32;%PATH%
set TMPDIR=%_CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR%
set TMP=%TMPDIR%
set APPDATA=%TMPDIR%
set ALLUSERSPROFILE=%TMPDIR%
mkdir papers\opt1\figs\scratch\stim-detections
mkdir papers\opt1\figs\scratch\afferent
mkdir papers\opt1\figs\scratch\transderm
m:
cd animallab\trunk\build\opt1_synthray_condor
main.exe %1 %2 %3

I added the APPDATA and ALLUSERSPROFILE hoping to prevent it from trying to write to the default user app data directory, no joy there.  Any suggestions?  The compiled exe file works just fine when run locally on a machine.
