The process of job creation can be checked before the suite definition
is loaded into the ecflow_server. The following checks are done:
- Locating ecf script files, corresponding to the task in the suite definition
- Performing pre-processing
When the suite definition is large and has many ecf script this
checking can save a lot of time.
Checking is done using ecflow.Defs.check_job_creation
#!/usr/bin/env python2.5 import os import ecflow defs = ecflow.Defs() suite = defs.add_suite("test") suite.add_variable("ECF_HOME",os.getenv("HOME") + "/course") suite.add_task("t1") # # Check .ecf --> .job # job_ctrl = ecflow.JobCreationCtrl() defs.check_job_creation(job_ctrl) print job_ctrl.get_error_msg() # We can assert, so that we only progress, once all job creation works # assert len(job_ctrl.get_error_msg()) == 0, job_ctrl.get_error_msg()
What to do:
- Add job creation checking.
