Next, we need to write the ecf script for the task t1.
By default ECF expects files to be in a directory structure below ECF_HOME
the ecf script for the task t1 must be in a sub-directory test.
In ECF_HOME, create a directory test:
> mkdir test
In test, create a file name t1.ecf with the following contents:
%include "../head.h" echo "I am part of a suite that lives in %ECF_HOME%" %include "../tail.h"
Before submitting the task, the server will transform the ecf script to a job file
This process is known as job creation.
This involves locating the ecf script on disk, and then pre-processing the
directives. This process includes performing variable substitution.
This will create a file with a ‘.job’ extension.
This is the script that ECF will submit to your system.
In our case:
%include ”../head.h” will be substituted by the content of the file head.h.
Note that the file name is given relatively to the file t1.ecf,i.e. in the directory above the one containing t1.ecf%ECF_HOME% will be substituted by the value of the variable ECF_HOME
%include ”../tail.h” will be substituted by the content of the file tail.h
What to do:
- Type in the ecf script t1.ecf
