Interface JobTemplate

All Known Implementing Classes:
JobTemplateImpl, SimpleJobTemplate

public interface JobTemplate
This interface represents a template to be used for the creation of a job. The properties set on a JobTemplate instance are used to create a new job and set up the new job's environment.

There is a 1:n relationship between JobTemplate instances and jobs. A single JobTemplate instance can be used to submit any number of jobs. Once a job has been submitted, e.g. via Session.runJob(), the JobTemplate instance no longer has any affect on that job. Changes made to the JobTemplate instance will have no affect on already running jobs. Deleting the JobTemplate instance (via Session.deleteJobTemplate()) also has no effect on running jobs.

Once a JobTemplate instance has been created (via Session.createJobTemplate()), it is the responsibility of the developer to delete it when no longer needed (via Session.deleteJobTemplate ()). Failure to do so may result in a memory leak.

Example:

public static void main(String[] args) {
   SessionFactory factory = SessionFactory.getFactory();
   Session session = factory.getSession();

   try {
      session.init("");
      JobTemplate jt = session.createJobTemplate();
      jt.setRemoteCommand("sleeper.sh");
      jt.setWorkingDirectory(":" + HOME_DIRECTORY + "/jobs");
      jt.setArgs(Collections.singletonList("5"));

      String id = session.runJob(jt);

      session.deleteJobTemplate(jt);
      session.exit();
   }
   catch (DrmaaException e) {
      System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage ());
   }
 }

    • setWorkingDirectory

      void setWorkingDirectory(String wd) throws DrmaaException
      Set the directory where the job is executed. If the working directory is not set, behavior is implementation dependent. The working directory is evaluated relative to the execution host.

      A HOME_DIRECTORY placeholder at the beginning denotes that the remaining portion of the directory name is resolved relative to the job submiter's home directory on the execution host.

      The PARAMETRIC_INDEX placeholder can be used at any position within the directory name of a parametric job and will be replaced by the underlying DRM system with the parametric job's index.

      The directory name must be specified in a syntax that is common at the host where the job will be executed.

      If no placeholder is used, an absolute directory specification is expected.

      If the directory does not exist when the job is run, the job enters the state Session.FAILED.

      Parameters:
      wd - the directory where the job is executed

      void setInputPath(String inputPath) throws DrmaaException

      If set, specifies the network path of the job's input stream in the form of [hostname]:file_path

      When the transferFiles property is supported and has it's inputStream property set, the input file will be fetched by the underlying DRM system from the specified host or from the submit host if no hostname is specified.

      When the transferFiles property is not supported or does not have its inputStream property set, the input file is always expected to be at the host where the job is executed irrespective of a whether a hostname is specified in the path.

      The PARAMETRIC_INDEX placeholder can be used at any position within the file path of parametric job templates and will be replaced by the underlying DRM system with the parametric job's index.

      A HOME_DIRECTORY placeholder at the beginning of the file path denotes that the remaining portion of the file path is relative to the job submiter's home directory on the host where the file is located.

      A WORKING_DIRECTORY placeholder at the beginning of the file path denotes that the remaining portion of the file path is relative to the job's working directory on the host where the file is located.

      The file path must be specified in a syntax that is common at the host where the file is located.

      When the job is run, if this property is set, and the file can't be read, the job will enter the state Session.FAILED.

If not set, defaults to the equivalent of a FileTransferMode instance with all properties set to false. See inputPath, outputPath and errorPath setters for information about how to specify the standard input file, standard output file, and standard error file.

      If the FileTransferMode instance's errorStream property is set to true, the errorPath property is taken to specify the location to which error files should be transfered after the job finishes.

      If the FileTransferMode instance's inputStream property is set to true, the inputPath property is taken to specify the location from which input files should be transfered before the job starts.
