HTCondor batch system for job submission to a cluster

[Emmanuel]

Hello Didier,

The batch system that allows us to use the servers dedicated to simulation in my lab is HTCondor.

In the TraceWin help, at the section "For all other clusters", twserver is meant to be started with the argument called "cluster", that is ess or isipic as I guess from the other clusters examples. With HTCondor, I don't have such a name to feed twserver with. So I simply type "cluster"; I also tried to use the name of cluster node server, but "Incorrect argument" is then returned when trying to run twserver.

And, by the way, when I try to submit the job to the cluster in the way recommended by our IT team, no job is launched. To submit a job I created a test_TraceWin.submit file that is an argument for condor_submit command - download it here https://mycore.core-cloud.net/index.php ... rgWd0qALVw . In the twserver.log (attached), I don't find any information that would help.

I'm not sure that this kind of job submission is allowed with TraceWin. Can you tell me how to proceed, if you ever had to use HTCondor, or would it be possible to allow such a job submission method ?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Emmanuel
