Re: [HTCondor-users] DAGman jobs failing custom requirements

["Smithies, Russell" <Russell.Smithies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A semantic nag, but APPEND_REQUIREMENTS in the config actually prepends  ;-)

Is 'TARGET.Site == MY.Site' set in APPEND_REQUIREMENTS in your configuration?

I don't know offhand why things should be any different with DAGMan -- DAGMan just runs condor_submit to actually submit the job.

A couple of things that should help diagnose it:

* Your dagman.out file -- I'm interested to see what arguments DAGMan is passing to condor_submit, and if anything strange is going on there.

* The output of 'condor_q -l' for a job inside and outside of the DAG.
(Or 'condor_history -l' if the job finished before you got a chance to run condor_q.)
