Re: [Condor-users] Condor file transfer with command line parameters [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

UNCLASSIFIED

Thanks Kevin.

I thought I may need to use a batch file wrapper as this has been
suggested in the archives. I wasn't aware of transfer_output_remaps.

What if each machine in my pool had a large amount of locally attached
storage. How would I go about storing all output files locally on each
execution machine (i.e. the machine in the pool where the job was run)
in a specific location? To be more specific, I have 100k runs, 5
execution machines in my pool, and what to store the output files
generated by each machine in D:\13_Jan_2011. I will then have a process
that will go through my 5 machines and collect all output files in
D:\13_Jan_2011 and place them in a single directory.

Peter

The files you transfer over to the remote machine will all end up in the
same working directory so something like this in the job submission
script should work:


Executable = runmodel.bat
TransferInputFiles  = C:\Model.exe C:\inputFile.mat ShouldTransferFiles
= YES WhenToTransferOutput = ON_EXIT transfer_output_remaps =
"outputFile.mat = C:\outputFile.mat"

where you write a DOS batch file "runmodel.bat" to be

 Model.exe -p inputFile.mat -o outputFile.mat

as you'll be running in a directory specific to your job on the remote
execution node, so everything is relative.
