Re: [HTCondor-users] Run Matlab Jobs using Condor

[Dennis Zheleznyak <dennis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Evan,

We're working with Active Directory and the mounts are done by Group Policy. 

In addition, I changed Condor to run with one of the users from Active Directory.

Do you think I still need to mount it manually ?

Since the files are big, I'd prefer copying them locally using the "input" parameter, however, I do not know how to give the correct argument -

the folder will be copied locally to the C:\condor\execute\dir_XXXX\1029 ... I do not know what are the XXXX since they change with each job submited.

Dennis.

If my memory serves you need to tell condor to actually mount that
network drive, since they're user specific. That is, the "L:" drive is
not system wide, but just for your user. When condor runs it runs as
its own user, and thus does not have access to the "L:" drive anymore.
I don't have a specific example of how I over came this problem in the
past, but I think I used a .bat file to mount the drive first and then
run the program I needed.

Hope that helps,
Evan
