Hi Ana,

Thanks for your help, but after googling a bit, I found the solution (at least for one of my problems...)

It has been refered in this mail long time ago :
https://lists.cs.wisc.edu/archive/condor-users/pre-2004-June/msg01195.shtml

in my condor_config.local.dedicated.resource, for "Option 3", I need to add :
RANK = 0
just before :
RANK    = (Scheduler =?= $(DedicatedScheduler) * $(RANK_FACTOR)) + $(RANK)

Though it seems to be an old error, it is still present in the newer versions of example files : Maybe condor admin could correct this in next releases ? Or am I totally wrong ?

The .local config files are to used along with a regular condor_config file. Option 3 assumes that you already have a rank _expression_ that defines what kind of preferences you have for opportunistic jobs, and then gives a  bump  to dedicated  jobs.

It's right in most cases, but if you overwrite the settings in the main condor_config file  you will need to set RANK=0 (or just remove the $(RANK) from the right-hand side of the _expression_.
