Job Manager Configuration

The Job Manager is generally configured using the setup-globus-gram-job-manager setup script. This section of the Job Manager manual describes all options which may be passed to the GRAM Job Manager in the configuration file $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-job-manager.conf.

-save-logfile always|on-error|never
Create a file to store Job Manager log messages. This file will be created in the user's home directory. If the argument to this option is on-error , then the file will be removed if the job manager completes successfully. If the argument to this optionis always , the file will not be deleted by the job manager.
-k
Indicate that the job manager was built with the kerberos GSSAPI instead of GSI. This disables checks for a delegated GSI credential.
-home GLOBUS_LOCATION
Set the GLOBUS_LOCATION environment variable to the specified Globus-Location.
-type JOB_MANAGER_TYPE
Set the type of scheduler interface to use for this job manager. A similarly named Perl module in the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib/perl/Globus/GRAM/JobManager/ directory is needed.
-job-reporting-dir PATH
Set the path to the directory to store job status files.
-history PATH
Set the path to the directory to store job history files.
-publish-jobs
Publish job status files in the -job-reporting-dir path. The GRAM reporter will publish files jobs status files in that directory in the MDS.
-publish-users

-cache-location PATH
Set the path for the GASS cache. This path must be unique for each user. RSL substitutions (such as /nfs/asd2/cristina and cristina) may be used in this path. See RSL Substitions for a list of available RSL substitutions.
-extra-envvars VAR1,VAR2,...
The Job manager will attempt to get the listed VARs from its environment and set them the same for the job's environment. For example, -extra-envvars LD_LIBRARY_PATH,GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE
-scratch-dir-base PATH
Set the default scratch directory root for the job manager. Job-specific scratch directories will be created as a subdirectory of this directory. RSL substitutions (such as /nfs/asd2/cristina and cristina) may be used in this path. See RSL Substitions for a list of available RSL substitutions. If this option is not present in the configuration file, then the job manager will create scratch directories as subdirectories of the user's home directory.
-condor-arch ARCH
Set the condor architecture for this job manager to be the specified ARCH. This is required when the job manager type is condor.
-condor-os OSNAME
Set the condor operating system name for this job manager to be the specified OSNAME. This is required when the job manager type is condor.

Set the cpu type of the host machine. This will be made available in the GLOBUS_HOST_CPUTYPE RSL substitution.
-globus-host-osname OSNAME
Set the operating system name of the host machine. This will be made available in the GLOBUS_HOST_OSNAME RSL substitution.
-globus-host-osversion OSVERSION
Set the operating system version of the host machine. This will be made available in the GLOBUS_HOST_OSVERSION RSL substitution.
-globus-tcp-port-range RANGE
Set the range of TCP port numbers which the job manager will use. This will also be made available in the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE environment variable and RSL substitution.
-machine-type
Type of machine which is managed by this job manager. This is used by the GRAM reporter only.
-state-file-dir PATH
