Re: [HTCondor-users] Accounting Groups

[Marc Jackson - NOAA Affiliate <marc.jackson@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello Iain,

I really appreciate your help in this matter. I have a file containing the condor groups located in my /etc/condor/config.d/ directory. I added the following line to my submit file:

accounting_groupÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ = group_pseudo_operational_processing

However when I run the condor_submit command, this is the output that I get:

1 job(s) submitted to cluster 233.
WARNING: the line 'accounting_group = group_pseudo_operational_processing' was unused by condor_submit. Is it a typo?

Do you have any ideas as to why I'm getting this error?

Thanks in advance!

Accounting Groups are the way that HTCondor can assign resources out to schedds/jobs via claims.

They work based on pie-spin and can be specified as either dynamic fractions or whole numbers.

1. The recommendation is that you add the accounting groups in a new file within /etc/condor/config.d/. As both condor_config and condor_config.local can be overridden by rpm/condor upgrade.

2. The accounting group can be specified in the job submit file using accounting_group = ââ. However thereâs no direct concept of group membership for accounting-groups. People usually solve this with SUBMIT_ATTRS on the schedd or by checking membership with a SUBMIT_REQUIREMENT.

3. You could make the START _expression_ for the machine an _expression_ of whether the accounting group.

e.g.

START = (target.AccountingGroup =?= âgroup_target.user.groupâ)

Cheers, Iain
