Re: [Condor-users] Location of Execution files

["Stefan Tomasiewicz" <cs05stt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I have to do is, as you said, to change my code "to look in the working directory for any input files it requires". 
 
However I have used a simple myFile.open(.....directory and file........); command in C++. If the directory depends on the processID then I cannot just hardcode. "myfile.open(c:\condor\execute\dir\EXCEL.xls)". This means I have to find another way of finding and opening EXCEL. Does the _CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR set the processID permanently to 400? and on all execution nodes?  
 
I am also looking into a way of opening a file from the working direcotry, however being a beginner with both Condor and C++ it might take some time. However it might be as simple as opening a file in the working directory. 
 
The search continues. 
 
Cheers

I just checked a job (all my jobs dump the environment when they start)
and it's: _CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR

        _CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR = d:\abc\condor\execute\dir_400

You can have Condor transfer both your code and the Excel spreadsheet to
the remote directory for the job. Then you just need to change your code
to look in the working directory for any input files it requires.

I have to admit I don't quite understand what you're trying to do, so
general advice here is hard to give. Sounds like you have a handle on an
approach though. If you've got a specific question maybe I can be of
more help! Sorry. :)
