  • The variables that are used by ecFlow, like ECF_HOME., ECF_INCLUDE

  • The variables that are defined by the user.
    They should not start with “ECF”.
    It is good practice to name these variables with capital letters.
  • The variables that are generated by ecFlow, and that you can use in
    your jobs, like ECF_DATE which contains the date of the suite.

Python

#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
import os
import ecflow

def create_family_f1():
    f1 = ecflow.Family("f1" )
    f1.add_task("t1").add_variable("SLEEP", 20)
    f1.add_task("t2").add_variable("SLEEP", 20)
    return f1

print "Creating suite definition"
defs = ecflow.Defs()
suite = defs.add_suite("test")
suite.add_variable("ECF_INCLUDE", os.path.join(os.getenv("HOME"), "course"))
suite.add_variable("ECF_HOME",    os.path.join(os.getenv("HOME"), "course"))

suite.add_family( create_family_f1() )
print defs

print "Checking job creation: .ecf -> .job0"
print defs.check_job_creation()

print "Saving definition to file 'test.def'"
defs.save_as_defs("test.def")

What to do

  1. Do the modifications
  2. Replace the suite
  3. Watch in ecflow_ui . You should see the tasks with a statusactive for 20 second. Look at the job output.
