Retrieving the suite definition

• To retrieve the suite definition in a form that is parse-able, type:

  
  

  Code Block
  ecflow_client --get

  
  

  This can be done in a python script:

  Code Block
  language py
  import ecflow try: ci = ecflow.Client() # create the client, will read ECF_HOST and ECF_PORT from environment ci.sync_local() # get server definition, by syncing with client defs ecflow.PrintStyle.set_style( ecflow.Style.DEFS ) # set printing to show structure print(ci.get_defs()) # print the returned suite definition except RuntimeError as e: print("Failed:",e)

  
  

• To retrieve the suite definition and show state:

  
  

  Code Block
  language bash
  ecflow_client --get_state # show state, generated variables, expanded trigger expression, auto added externs ecflow_client --migrate # shows state as comments, used as check point format

  
  

  In python this would be:

  Code Block
  language py
  import ecflow try: ci = ecflow.Client() ci.sync_local() # retrieve server definition, by sync with client defs ecflow.PrintStyle.set_style( ecflow.Style.STATE ) # set printing to show structure and state, expanded trigger expression, generated variables print(ci.get_defs()) # print the returned suite definition ecflow.PrintStyle.set_style( ecflow.Style.MIGRATE ) # set printing to show structure and state, and node history print(ci.get_defs()) # print the returned suite definition except RuntimeError as e: print("Failed:", e)

  
  

   

• To list just the node paths and states in python please see: How can I access the path and task states?

What to do

1. Locate the job file and the output file
2. Check results by retrieving the suite definition from the server
