In the previous section, we saw how a script was transformed into a job file.

If we try to run this job manually, it will fail

$HOME/course/test/t1.job0


This is is because the port ECF_PORT was generated by the python script and would not typically correspond to your servers port.

Additionally the ECF_PASSWD was also generated by the python script,.


Hence we need a way of checking the job independent of ecFlow.

Th is can be done by setting an environment variable.

export NO_ECF=1
$HOME/course/test/t1.job0


When NO_ECF is set, ecflow_client executable returns immediately with retirn value of 0. (i.e success)


What to do

  1. export NO_ECF=1
  2. run your job file  $HOME/course/test/t1.job0
