The first step to being able to use GRAM5 after installation is to acquire a temporary Grid credential to use to authenticate with the GRAM5 service and any file services your job requires. Normally this is done via either grid-proxy-init or via the MyProxy service.
To generate a proxy credential using the grid-proxy-init program, execute the command with no arguments. By default, it will generate an impersonation proxy with a lifetime of 12 hours.
Example 1.1. Generating a proxy with grid-proxy-init
Thie example creates a 12 hour impersonation proxy to use to authenticate with grid services such as GRAM5:
%bin/grid-proxy-initYour identity: /O=Grid/OU=Example/CN=Joe User Enter GRID pass phrase for this identity: Creating proxy ................................. Done Your proxy is valid until: Tue Oct 26 01:33:42 2010
![]() | Important |
|---|---|
In order to generate a proxy credential, you must have first been issued an identity credential by some certificate authority that is trusted by the GRAM5 resource you want to use. To learn more about certificates and Grid security in general, please read Security Key Concepts. |
GT 5.0 does not include any of the CoG JGlobus Java APIs that were included in the GT4 release series. But, the JGlobus APIs can still be used with the GT5 services. You can get them directly from the CoG JGlobus releases; see the following link:
http://dev.globus.org/wiki/CoG_jglobus
Consider the following when determining which version of CoG JGlobus to use:
The GRAM development team used CoG JGlobus version 1.6.0 for performance testing.
The BIRN project used CoG JGlobus version 1.6.0 (plus patches) for GridFTP testing. All patches are included in 1.8.0.
At the time of the GT 5.0.2 release, 1.8.0 was the recommended version. In general, the latest recommended CoG JGlobus version should be used.
The credential created in the previous section is used to authenticate with the GRAM5 service as well as to delegate a limited proxy of that credential to the service so that it can process the job. This credential delegation occurs when the globus-gatekeeper service is first contacted when a job is to be submitted. By default, the tools provided with GT 5.0.2 delegate a limited proxy. This limited proxy can be used to authenticate with other services on the client's behalf, but with the services knowing that the proxy is not under direct control by the user.
The delegated proxy can be used by the GRAM5 service and the job in a few different ways:
- The GRAM5 service uses the credential to send job state notification messages to clients which have registered to receive them.
- The GRAM5 service uses the credential to contact GASS and GridFTP file servers to stage files to and from the execution resource
- The job executed by the GRAM5 service can use the delegated credential for application-specific purposes.
![]() | Note |
|---|---|
In GRAM5, the Job Manager may manage multiple jobs simultaneously. It will use the delegated proxy with the most time left for authentication. Individual GRAM5 jobs will have separate proxies. |
globusrun globus-job-run, and globus-job-submit commands delegate credentials automatically when submitting a job. Additionally, globusrun can refresh the credentials used by the job and job manager, after the job manager is started.
This section describes the steps needed to submit jobs to resources managed by GRAM5 services. It describes how resources are named, tools for submitting and monitoring jobs, and the RSL language which describes requirements for jobs.
In GRAM5, a Gatekeeper Service Contact
contains the host, port, service name, and service identity
required to contact a particular GRAM service. For convenience,
default values are used when parts of the contact are omitted.
An example of a full gatekeeper service contact is
grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager:/C=US/O=Example/OU=Grid/CN=host/grid.example.org.
The various forms of the resource name using default values follow:
HOSTHOST:PORTHOST:PORT/SERVICEHOST/SERVICEHOST:/SERVICEHOST:PORT:SUBJECTHOST/SERVICE:SUBJECTHOST:/SERVICE:SUBJECTHOST:PORT/SERVICE:SUBJECT
Where the various values have the following meaning:
HOST- Network name of the machine hosting the service.
PORT- Network port number that the service is listening on. If not specified, the default of
2119is used. SERVICE- Path of the service entry in
. If not specified, the default of$GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/grid-servicesjobmanageris used. SUBJECT- X.509 identity of the credential used by the service. If not specified, the default of
host@HOSTis used.
Example 1.2. Gatekeeper Service Contact Examples
The following strings all name the service
grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager:/C=US/O=Example/OU=Grid/CN=host/grid.example.org
using the formats with the various defaults described above.
grid.example.orggrid.example.org:2119grid.example.org:2119/jobmanagergrid.example.org/jobmanagergrid.example.org:/jobmanagergrid.example.org:2119:/C=US/O=Example/OU=Grid/CN=host/grid.example.orggrid.example.org/jobmanager:/C=US/O=Example/OU=Grid/CN=host/grid.example.orggrid.example.org:/jobmanager:/C=US/O=Example/OU=Grid/CN=host/grid.example.orggrid.example.org:2119/jobmanager:/C=US/O=Example/OU=Grid/CN=host/grid.example.org
The globus-job-run provides a simple blocking command-line interface to the GRAM service. The globus-job-run program submits a job to a GRAM5 resource and waits for the job to terminate. After the job terminates, the output and error streams of the job are sent to the output and error streams of globus-job-run as if the job were run interactively. Note that input to the job must be located in a file prior to running the job; true interactive I/O is not supported by GRAM5.
The globus-job-run program has command-line options to control most aspects of jobs run by GRAM5. However, certain behaviors must be specified by definition of an RSL string containing various job attributes. A more detailed description about the RSL language is included on the section on running jobs with globusrun below.
The following examples show some of the common command-line options to globus-job-run. Full globus-job-run documentation is available in the GRAM5 public interface guide.
Example 1.3. Minimal job using globus-job-run
The following command line submits a single instance of the
/bin/hostname executable to the resource
named by
grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs.
%globus-job-rungrid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs /bin/hostnamenode1.grid.example.org
Example 1.4. Multiprocess job using globus-job-run
The following command line submits ten instances of an
executable a.out, staging it from the
client host to the service node using GASS. The
a.out program prints the name of the host
it is executing on.
%globus-job-rungrid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs -np 10 -s a.outnode1.grid.example.org node3.grid.example.org node2.grid.example.org node5.grid.example.org node4.grid.example.org node8.grid.example.org node6.grid.example.org node9.grid.example.org node7.grid.example.org node10.grid.example.org
Example 1.5. Canceling an interactive job
This example shows how using the
Control+C
(or other system-specific mechanism for sending the
SIGINT signal) can be used to cancel a GRAM
job.
%globus-job-rungrid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs /bin/sleep 90Control-CGRAM Job failed because the user cancelled the job (error code 8)
Example 1.6. Setting job environment variables with globus-job-run
The following command line submits one instances of the
executable /usr/bin/env, setting some
environment variables in the job environment beyond those
set by GRAM5.
%globus-job-rungrid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs -env TEST=1 -env GRID=1 /usr/bin/envHOME=/home/juser LOGNAME=juser GLOBUS_GRAM_JOB_CONTACT=https://client.example.org:3882/16001579536700793196/5295612977485997184/ GLOBUS_LOCATION=/opt/globus-5.0.2 GLOBUS_GASS_CACHE_DEFAULT=/home/juser/.globus/.gass_cache TEST=1 X509_USER_PROXY=/home/juser/.globus/job/mactop.local/16001579536700793196.5295612977485997184/x509_user_proxy GRID=1
Example 1.7. Using custom RSL clauses with globus-job-run
The following command line submits an mpi job using
globus-job-run, setting the
jobtype RSL attribute to
mpi. Any RSL attribute understood by the
LRM can be added to a job via this method.
%globus-job-rungrid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs -np 5 -x '&(jobtype=mpi)' a.outHello, MPI (rank: 0, count: 5) Hello, MPI (rank: 3, count: 5) Hello, MPI (rank: 1, count: 5) Hello, MPI (rank: 4, count: 5) Hello, MPI (rank: 2, count: 5)
Example 1.8. Constructing RSL strings with globus-job-run
The globus-job-run program can also generate the RSL language description of a job based on the command-line options given to it. This example combines some of the features above and prints out the resulting RSL. This RSL string can be passed to tools such as globusrun to be run later.
%globus-job-run -dumprslgrid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs -np 5 -x '&(jobtype=mpi)' -env GRID=1 -env TEST=1 a.out&(jobtype=mpi) (executable="a.out") (environment= ("GRID" "1") ("TEST" "1")) (count=5)
A related tool to globus-job-run is globus-job-submit. This command submits a job to a GRAM5 service then exits without waiting for the job to terminate. Other tools (globus-job-cancel, globus-job-clean, and globus-job-get-output) allow futher interaction with the job.
![]() | Important |
|---|---|
When using globus-job-submit, the job output and state will remain on disk on the GRAM resource until one of globus-job-clean or globus-job-cancel is run for that job. Be sure to clean up your jobs! |
The globus-job-submit program has most of the same command-line options as globus-job-run. When run, instead of displaying the output and error streams of the job, it prints the job contact, which is used with the other globus-job tools to interact with the job.
Example 1.9. globus-job-submit
This example shows the interaction of submitting a job via globus-job-submit, checking its status with globus-job-status, getting its output with globus-job-get-output, and then cleaning the job with globus-job-clean.
%globus-job-submitgrid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs /bin/hostnamehttps://grid.example.org:38843/16001600430615223386/5295612977486013582/%globus-job-statushttps://grid.example.org:38843/16001600430615223386/5295612977486013582/PENDING%globus-job-statushttps://grid.example.org:38843/16001600430615223386/5295612977486013582/ACTIVE%globus-job-statushttps://grid.example.org:38843/16001600430615223386/5295612977486013582/DONE%globus-job-get-output-r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-fork \ https://grid.example.org:38843/16001600430615223386/5295612977486013582/node1.grid.example.org%globus-job-clean-r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-fork \ https://grid.example.org:38843/16001600430615223386/5295612977486013582/WARNING: Cleaning a job means: - Kill the job if it still running, and - Remove the cached output on the remote resource Are you sure you want to cleanup the job now (Y/N) ?yCleanup successful.
The globusrun tool provides a more flexible tool for submitting, monitoring, and canceling jobs. With this tool, most of the functionality of the GRAM5 APIs are made available.
One major difference between globusrun and the
other tools described above is that globusrun
uses the RSL
language to provide the job description, instead of multiple
command-line options to describe the various aspects of the job.
The section on globus-job-run contained a brief
example RSL in the -dumprsl example above.
The following sections show examples of the different modes that globusrun can run in. Full information about globusrun command-line options is available in the public interface guide.
This example shows how to check that an RSL document contains a syntactically correct job description. Note that this mode does not do semantic validation of the RSL, so an RSL document that passes this test may not work when submitted to a GRAM5 service.
This example shows how to check that a globus-gatekeeper is running at a particular contact and that the client and service have mutually-trusted credentials.
Example 1.11. GRAM Authentication test
%globusrun-a -r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbsGRAM Authentication test successful%globusrun-a -r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-lsfGRAM Authentication test failure: the gatekeeper failed to find the requested service%globusrun-a -r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs:host@not.example.orgGRAM Authentication test failure: an authorization operation failed globus_xio_gsi: gss_init_sec_context failed. GSS Major Status: Unexpected Gatekeeper or Service Name globus_gsi_gssapi: Authorization denied: The name of the remote host (host@not.example.org), and the expected name for the remote host (grid.example.org) do not match. This happens when the name in the host certificate does not match the information obtained from DNS and is often a DNS configuration problem.
![]() | Note |
|---|---|
The DNS configuration problem was a common issue in GRAM2, but GRAM5 will not depend on DNS to resolve names for mutual authentication. |
This example shows how to determine what software version of GRAM5 is deployed at a particular service contact.
Example 1.12. GRAM version check
%globusrun-j -r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs:host@not.example.orgToolkit version: 4.3.0-HEAD Job Manager version: 10.5 (1256257907-0)

|---|---|
This feature is new in GRAM5. When contacting a GRAM2 service, globusrun will display the following error message:
|
This example shows how to submit interactive job with
globusrun. When the -s
is used, the output of the job command is returned to the
client and displayed as if the command ran locally. This
is similar to the behavior of the
globus-job-run program described above.
This example shows how to submit, monitor, and cancel a batch job using globusrun. This method is useful for the case where the job may run for a long time, the job may be queued for a long time, or when there are network reliability issues between the client and service.
Example 1.14. Basic Batch Job
%globusrun-b -r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs "&(executable=/bin/sleep)(arguments=500)"globus_gram_client_callback_allow successful GRAM Job submission successful https://grid.example.org:38824/16001608125017717261/5295612977486019989/ GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_PENDING%globusrun-status https://grid.example.org:38824/16001608125017717261/5295612977486019989/PENDING%globusrun-k https://grid.example.org:38824/16001608125017717261/5295612977486019989/%
The following example shows how to refresh the credential used by a job manager and a job.
Example 1.15. Refreshing a Credential
%globusrun-refresh-proxy https://grid.example.org:38824/16001608125017717261/5295612977486019989/%echo $?0

In GT 5.0.2,
globusrun does not print any
diagnostics when given the

When the Job Manager's credential is about to expire, it sends
a message to all clients registered for
GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_FAILED
notifications that the job manager is terminating and that the
job will continue to run without the job manager.
Any client which receives such a message can (if necessary) generate a new proxy as described above and then submit a restart request to start a job manager with a new credential. This job manager will resume monitoring the jobs which were started prior to proxy expiration.
In this example, the globusrun displays an error message when the job manager's proxy is about to expire. The user creates a new proxy and resumes monitoring the job with globusrun.
Example 1.16. Proxy Expiration Example
%globusrun-r grid.example.org "&(executable=a.out)"globus_gram_client_callback_allow successful GRAM Job submission successful GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_ACTIVE GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_FAILED GRAM Job failed because the user proxy expired (job is still running) (error code 131)%grid-proxy-initYour identity: /DC=org/DC=example/OU=grid/CN=Joe User Enter GRID pass phrase for this identity: Creating proxy ...........................................................................

In addition to the standard output and error stream output done by globusrun, GRAM5 can do basic file management tasks to stage files to the GRAM5 service node before submitting a job and to stage files from the GRAM5 service node to a file service after the job completes.
GRAM5 file staging supports four URL schemes:
ftp, gsiftp,
http, and https. Note,
that for the https scheme, GRAM expects
the file server to be running with the same identity as the
client.
General file staging is controlled by three RSL attributes:
file_stage_in,
file_stage_in_shared, and
file_stage_out. In addition, the files named
by the RSL attributes executable,
stdin may be staged in and the files named
by the RSL attributes stdout and
stderr may be staged out.
The file_stage_in_shared RSL attribute
instructs GRAM to store a local copy of the resource named by
the URL in the GASS cache. This is useful if multiple
concurrent jobs will be accessing one or more common files. The
GASS cache will manage a reference count for files in the cache
and remove them when all jobs that refer to them complete.
The following example shows how to stage a few files from a
GridFTP server to the GRAM node. It uses the
rsl_substitution mechanism to define a
subsitution variable to reduce the amount of redundancy in the
job description.
Example 1.17. File stage in
%globusrun-s -r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs \ "&(rsl_substitution = (GRIDFTP_SERVER gsiftp://gridftp.example.org)) \ (executable=/bin/ls) (arguments=/tmp/staged_file) (file_stage_in = ($(GRIDFTP_SERVER)/staged_file /tmp/staged_file))"/tmp/staged_file
The next example uses the
file_stage_in_shared RSL attribute to stage
a file into the cache. The file is transferred from
the client using the GASS https server embedded in the
globusrun program when the -s option is
used.
Example 1.18. File stage in shared
%globusrun-s -r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs \ "&(executable=/bin/ls) \ (arguments = -l /tmp/staged_file_link1 /tmp/staged_file_link1) \ (file_stage_in_shared = \ (\$(GLOBUSRUN_GASS_URL)/staged_file1 /tmp/staged_file_link1))"lrwxr-xr-x 1 juser juser 120 Nov 11 20:37 /tmp/staged_file1 -> /home/juser/.globus/.gass_cache/local/md5/ff/771bded8a2c7dacc1a1c0fecafa0ce/md5/39/13ab3db7fc002ed54012083ae6ed1c/data
The final staging example uses the
file_stage_out RSL attribute to transfer
a file from the GRAM service to an FTP server using anonymous
FTP
Example 1.19. File stage out
%globusrun-r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs \ "&(executable=a.out) \ (file_stage_out = (results.txt ftp://anonymous:nopass@ftp.example.org/incoming/results.txt))"%
![]() | Note |
|---|---|
In all of the above cases, multiple files may be staged using any combination of the supported URL schemes. |
GRAM5 supports creating a per-job scratch directory which can be used as a place to store files that will be automatically removed by GRAM when the job completes. It also supports an explicit list of files to remove when the job completes.
This example shows how to stage files into a scratch directory.
It again uses the embedded GASS https server, stages to the
GRAM service, then runs /bin/ls in the temporary directory.
After the job completes, the contents of
$(SCRATCH_DIRECTORY) and the directory
itself are removed.
Example 1.20. Staging to scratch directory
%globusrun-s grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs \ "&(scratch_dir = \$(HOME)) \ (directory = \$(SCRATCH_DIRECTORY)) (file_stage_in = \ (\$(GLOBUSRUN_GASS_URL)/inputfile $(SCRATCH_DIRECTORY)/inputfile)) \ (executable = /bin/ls)"inputfile
This example shows how to explicitly remove a file that was created by the job.
The globusrun command supports a two-phase commit protocol to ensure that the client knows the contact of the job which has been created so that it can be monitored or canceled in the case of a client or service error. The two-phase commit affects both job submission and termination.
The two-phase protocol is enabled by using the
two_phase RSL attribute, as in the next
example. When this is enabled, job submission will fail with
the error
GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_WAITING_FOR_COMMIT.
The client must respond to this signal with
either the
GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_COMMIT_REQUEST
or
GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_COMMIT_EXTEND
signals to either commit the job to execution or delay the
commit timeout. One of these signals must be sent prior to the
two phase commit timeout, or the job will be discarded by the
GRAM service.
A two phase protocol is also used at job termination if the
save_state RSL attribute is used along with
the two_phase attribute. When the
job manager sends a callback with the job state set to
GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_DONE or
GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_DONE it will
wait to clean up the job until the two phase commit occurs. The
client must reply with the
GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_COMMIT_END
signal to cause the job to be cleaned. Otherwise, the job
will be unloaded from memory until a client restarts the job
and sends the signal.
Example 1.22. Two phase commit example
In this example, the user submits a job with a
two_phase timeout of 30 seconds and the
save_state attribute. The client must
send commit signals to ensure the job runs.
%globusrun-r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs \ "&(two_phase = 30) \ (save_state = yes) \ (executable = a.out)"globus_gram_client_callback_allow successful GRAM Job submission successful GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_PENDING GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_ACTIVE GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_DONE%
If a job manager or client exits before a job has completed,
the job will continue to run. The client can reconnect to a job
manager and receive job state notifications and output using
the restart RSL attribute.
Example 1.23. Restart example
This example uses globus-job-submit to submit a batch job and then globusrun to reconnect to the job.
%globus-job-submitgrid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs /bin/sleep 90https://grid.example.org:38824/16001746665595486521/5295612977486005662/%globusrun-r grid.example.org:2119/jobmanager-pbs \ "&(restart = https://grid.example.org:38824/16001746665595486521/5295612977486005662/)"globus_gram_client_callback_allow successful GRAM Job submission successful GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_DONE%
To submit a job that runs a java program, the client must
ensure that the job can find the Java interpreter and its
classes. This example sets the default PATH
and CLASSPATH environment variables and
uses the shell to locate the path to the java
program.

Condor-G users should upgrade their clients to condor 7.4.0 or later to
achvieve highest performance. That version includes the
gt5 grid type, which includes client-side
optimizations to improve performance. To use an older Condor-G client,
be sure to set the
GRIDMANAGER_MAX_JOBMANAGERS_PER_RESOURCE attribute
to 0 to disable the Condor-G client attempts to
stop and restart the job manager service. Also, disable the Grid
Monitor when using a GRAM5 resource by setting the

Description
The globusrun program for submits and manages jobs run on a local or remote job host. The jobs are controlled by the globus-job-manager program which interfaces with a local resource manager that schedules and executes the job.
The globusrun program can be run in a number of different modes chosen by command-line options.
When -help, -usage,
-version, or -versions command-line options
are used, globusrun will print out diagnostic information and then exit.
When the -p or -parse command-line option
is present, globusrun will verify the syntax of the RSL specification and then
terminate. If the syntax is valid, globusrun will print out the string
"RSL Parsed Successfully..." and exit with a zero exit code;
otherwise, it will print an error message and terminate with a non-zero exit
code.
When the -a or -authenticate-only
command-line option is present, globusrun will verify that the service named
by RESOURCE_CONTACT exists and the client's
credentials are granted permission to access that service. If authentication
is successful, globusrun will display the string "GRAM Authentication test
successful" and exit with a zero exit code; otherwise it will print
an explanation of the problem and will with a non-zero exit code.
When the -j or -jobmanager-version
command-line option is present, globusrun will attempt to determine the software
version that the service named by
RESOURCE_CONTACT is running. If successful, it will
display both the Toolkit version and the Job Manager package version and exit
with a zero exit code; otherwise, it will print an explanation of the problem
and exit with a non-zero exit code.
When the -k or -kill
command-line option is present, globusrun will attempt to terminate the
job named by JOB_ID. If successful, globusrun will
exit with zero; otherwise it will display an explanation of the problem and
exit with a non-zero exit code.
When the -y or -refresh-proxy
command-line option is present, globusrun will attempt to delegate a new
X.509 proxy to the job manager which is managing the job named by
JOB_ID. If successful, globusrun will
exit with zero; otherwise it will display an explanation of the problem and
exit with a non-zero exit code. This behavior can be modified by the
-full-proxy or -D command-line options
to enable full proxy delegation. The default is limited proxy delegation.
When the -status command-line option is present, globusrun will
attempt to determine the current state of the job. If successful, the state
will be printed to standard output and globusrun will exit with a zero exit code;
otherwise, a description of the error will be displayed and it will exit
with a non-zero exit code.
Otherwise, globusrun will submit the job to a GRAM service. By default, globusrun waits until the job has terminated or failed before exiting, displaying information about job state changes and at exit time, the job exit code if it is provided by the GRAM service.
The globusrun program can also function as a GASS file
server to allow the globus-job-manager program to stage files to and from the machine on
which globusrun is executed to the GRAM service node. This behavior is controlled
by the -s, -o, and -w
command-line options.
Jobs submitted by globusrun can be monitored interactively or detached. To have
globusrun detach from the GRAM service after submitting the job, use the
-b or -F command-line options.
Options
The full set of options to globusrun consist of:
-help- Display a help message to standard error and exit.
-usage- Display a one-line usage summary to standard error and exit.
-version- Display the software version of globusrun to standard error and exit.
-versions- Display the software version of all modules used by globusrun (including DiRT information) to standard error and then exit.
-p,-parse- Do a parse check on the job specification and print diagnostics. If a parse error occurs, globusrun exits with a non-zero exit code.
-f,RSL_FILENAME-fileRSL_FILENAME- Read job specification from the file named by
RSL_FILENAME. -n,-no-interrupt- Disable handling of the
SIGINTsignal, so that the interrupt character (typically Control-C) causes globusrun to terminate without canceling the job. -r,RESOURCE_CONTACT-resourceRESOURCE_CONTACTSubmit the request to the resource specified by
RESOURCE_CONTACT. A resource may be specified in the following ways:HOSTHOST:PORTHOST:PORT/SERVICEHOST/SERVICEHOST:/SERVICEHOST::SUBJECTHOST:PORT:SUBJECTHOST/SERVICE:SUBJECTHOST:/SERVICE:SUBJECTHOST:PORT/SERVICE:SUBJECT
If any of
PORT,SERVICE, orSUBJECTis omitted, the defaults of2811,jobmanager, andhost@HOSTare used respectively.- -j, -jobmanager-version
- Print the software version being run by the service
running at
RESOURCE_CONTACT. -k,JOB_ID-killJOB_ID- Kill the job named by
JOB_ID -D,-full-proxy- Delegate a full impersonation proxy to the service. By default, a limited proxy is delegated when needed.
-y,-refresh-proxy- Delegate a new proxy to the service processing
JOB_ID. -status- Display the current status of the job named by
JOB_ID. -q,-quiet- Do not display job state change or exit code information.
-o,-output-enable- Start a GASS server within the globusrun application
that allows access to its standard output and standard error streams
only. Also, augment the
RSL_SPECIFICATIONwith a definition of theGLOBUSRUN_GASS_URLRSL substitution and addstdoutandstderrclauses which redirect the output and error streams of the job to the output and error streams of the interactive globusrun command. If this is specified, then globusrun acts as though the-qwere also specified. -s,-server- Start a GASS server within the globusrun application
that allows access to its standard output and standard error streams
for writing and any file local the the globusrun invocation for reading.
Also, augment the
RSL_SPECIFICATIONwith a definition of theGLOBUSRUN_GASS_URLRSL substitution and addstdoutandstderrclauses which redirect the output and error streams of the job to the output and error streams of the interactive globusrun command. If this is specified, then globusrun acts as though the-qwere also specified. -w,-write-allow- Start a GASS server within the globusrun application
that allows access to its standard output and standard error streams
for writing and any file local the the globusrun invocation for reading or
writing. Also, augment the
RSL_SPECIFICATIONwith a definition of theGLOBUSRUN_GASS_URLRSL substitution and addstdoutandstderrclauses which redirect the output and error streams of the job to the output and error streams of the interactive globusrun command. If this is specified, then globusrun acts as though the-qwere also specified. -b,-batch- Terminate after submitting the job to the GRAM
service. The globusrun program will exit after the job hits any of the
following states:
PENDING,ACTIVE,FAILED, orDONE. The GASS-related options can be used to stage input files, but standard output, standard error, and file staging after the job completes will not be processed. -F,-fast-batch- Terminate after submitting the job to the GRAM
service. The globusrun program will exit after it receives a reply from
the service. The
JOB_IDwill be displayed to standard output before terminating so that the job can be checked with the-statuscommand-line option or modified by the-refresh-proxyor-killcommand-line options. -d,-dryrun- Submit the job with the
dryrunattribute set to true. When this is done, the job manager will prepare to start the job but start short of submitting it to the service. This can be used to detect problems with theRSL_SPECIFICATION.
Environment
If the following variables affect the execution of globusrun
X509_USER_PROXY- Path to proxy credential.
X509_CERT_DIR- Path to trusted certificate directory.
Bugs
The globusrun program assumes any failure to contact the job means the
job has terminated. In fact, this may be due to the
globus-job-manager program exiting after all jobs it is
managing have reached the DONE or FAILED
states. In order to reliably detect job termination, the
two_phase RSL attribute should be used.

Description
The globus-job-cancel program cancels the job named by JOBID.
Any cached files associated with the job will remain until
globus-job-clean is executed for the job.
By default, globus-job-cancel prompts the user prior to canceling the job. This behavior
can be overridden by specifying the -f or
-force command-line options.
Options
The full set of options to globus-job-cancel are:
-help,-usage- Display a help message to standard error and exit.

globus-job-clean [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]
Description
The globus-job-clean program cancels the job named by JOBID if
it is still running, and then removes any cached files on the GRAM service node
related to that job. In order to do the file clean up, it submits a job which
removes the cache files. By default this cleanup job is submitted to the
default GRAM resource running on the same host as the job. This behavior can be
controlled by specifying a resource manager contact string as the parameter to
the -r or -resource option.
By default, globus-job-clean prompts the user prior to canceling the job. This behavior
can be overridden by specifying the -f or
-force command-line options.

globus-job-get-output [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]
Description
The globus-job-get-output program retrieves the output and error streams of the job named by
JOBID. By default, globus-job-get-output will retrieve all output
and error data from the job and display them to its own output and error
streams. Other behavior can be controlled by using command-line options.
The data retrieval is implemented by submitting another job which
simply displays the contents of the first job's output and error streams.
By default this retrieval job is submitted to the
default GRAM resource running on the same host as the job. This behavior can be
controlled by specifying a particular resource manager contact string as the
RESOURCE parameter to the -r or
-resource option.

globus-personal-gatekeeper — Manage a user's personal gatekeeper daemon
Synopsis
globus-personal-gatekeeper [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions] [-list] [-directory CONTACT]
globus-personal-gatekeeper [-debug] {-start} [-jmtype LRM] [-auditdir AUDIT_DIRECTORY] [-port PORT] [-log [=DIRECTORY]] [-seg] [-acctfile ACCOUNTING_FILE]
globus-personal-gatekeeper [-killall] [-kill]
Description
The globus-personal-gatekeeper command is a utility which manages a gatekeeper and job manager service for a single user. Depending on the command-line arguments it will operate in one of several modes. In the first set of arguments indicated in the synopsis, the program provides information about the globus-personal-gatekeeper command or about instances of the globus-personal-gatekeeper that are running currently. The second set of arguments indicated in the synopsis provide control over starting a new globus-personal-gatekeeper instance. The final set of arguments provide control for terminating one or more globus-personal-gatekeeper instances.
The -start mode will create a new subdirectory of
and write the configuration
files needed to start a globus-gatekeeper daemon which will
invoke the globus-job-manager service when new authenticated
connections are made to its service port. The
globus-personal-gatekeeper then exits, printing the contact
string for the new gatekeeper prefixed by $HOME/.globusGRAM contact: to
standard output. In addition to the arguments described above, any arguments
described in globus-job-manager(8) can be appended to the
command-line and will be added to the job manager configuration for the service
started by the globus-gatekeeper.
The new globus-gatekeeper will continue to run in the
background until killed by invoking
globus-personal-gatekeeper with the -kill or
-killall argument. When killed, it will kill the
globus-gatekeeper and globus-job-manager
processes, remove state files and configuration data, and then exit. Jobs which
are running when the personal gatekeeper is killed will continue to run, but
their job directory will be destroyed so they may fail in the LRM.
The full set of command-line options to globus-personal-gatekeeper consists of:
-help,-usage- Print command-line option summary and exit
-version- Print software version
-versions- Print software version including DiRT information

Synopsis
globus-gram-audit [--conf CONFIG_FILE] [--check] [--delete] [--audit-directory AUDITDIR]
Description
The globus-gram-audit program loads audit records to an
SQL-based database. It reads
by default to determine the audit directory and then uploads all files in that
directory that contain valid audit records to the database configured by the
globus_gram_job_manager_auditing_setup_scripts
package. If the upload completes successfully, the audit files will be removed.
$GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-job-manager.conf
The full set of command-line options to globus-gram-audit consist of:
--conf |
Use |
--check |
Check whether the insertion of a record was successful by querying the database after inserting the records. This is used in tests. |
--delete | Delete audit records from the database right after inserting them. This is used in tests to avoid filling the databse with test records. |
--audit-directory | Look for audit records in DIR, instead of looking in the directory specified in the job manager configuration. This is used in tests to control which records are loaded to the database and then deleted. |
--query | Perform the given SQL query on the audit database. This uses the database information from the configuration file to determine how to contact the database. |
FILES
The globus-gram-audit uses the following files (paths
relative to $GLOBUS_LOCATION.
etc/globus-gram-job-manager.conf |
GRAM5 job manager configuration. It includes the default path to the audit directory |
etc/globus-gram-audit.conf |

Description
The globus-gatekeeper program is a meta-server similar to inetd or xinetd that starts other services after authenticating the TCP connection using GSSAPI.
The most common use for the globus-gatekeeper program is to start instances of the globus-job-manager(8) service. A single globus-gatekeeper deployment can handle multiple different service configurations by having entries in the grid-services directory.
Typically, users interact with the globus-gatekeeper program via client applications such as globusrun(1), globus-job-submit, or tools such as CoG jglobus or Condor-G.
The full set of command-line options to globus-gatekeeper consists of:

Description
The globus-job-manager program is a servivce which starts and controls GRAM jobs which are executed by a local resource management system, such as LSF or Condor. The globus-job-manager program is typically started by the globus-gatekeeper program and not directly by a user. It runs until all jobs it is managing have terminated or its delegated credentials have expired.
Typically, users interact with the globus-job-manager program via client applications such as globusrun, globus-job-submit, or tools such as CoG jglobus or Condor-G.
The full set of command-line options to globus-job-manager consists of:
-help- Display a help message to standard error and exit

$(GLOBUS_GATEKEEPER_PORT)RSL substitution toPORT -globus-gatekeeper-subjectSUBJECT- Indicate the X.509 identity of the gatekeeper to which jobs are submitted to. This parameter sets the value of the
$(GLOBUS_GATEKEEPER_SUBJECT)RSL substitution toSUBJECT -homeGLOBUS_LOCATION- Indicate the path where the Globus Toolkit(r) is installed on the service node. This is used by the job manager to locate its support and configuration files.
-target-globus-locationTARGET_GLOBUS_LOCATION- Indicate the path where the Globus Toolkit(r) is installed on the execution host. If this is omitted, the value specified as a parameter to
-homeis used. This parameter sets the value of the$(GLOBUS_LOCATION)RSL substitution toTARGET_GLOBUS_LOCATION -historyHISTORY_DIRECTORY- Configure the job manager to write job history files to
HISTORY_DIRECTORY. These files are described in the FILES section below. -scratch-dir-baseSCRATCH_DIRECTORY- Configure the job manager to use
SCRATCH_DIRECTORYas the default scratch directory root if a relative path is specified in the job RSL'sscratch_dirattribute. -enable-syslog- Configure the job manager to write log messages via syslog. Logging is further controlled by the argument to the
-log-levelsparameter described below. -stdio-logLOG_DIRECTORY- Configure the job manager to write log messages to files in the
LOG_DIRECTORYdirectory. Files will be named. Logging is further controlled by the argument to theLOG_DIRECTORY/gram_YYYYMMDD.log-log-levelsparameter described below. TheLOG_DIRECTORYvalue can include variables derived from the job manager environment using the same syntax as RSL substitutions. For example,-stdio-log $(HOME)would cause each user's logs to be stored in their individual home directories. -log-levelsLEVELS- Configure the job manager to write log messages of certain levels to syslog and/or log files. The available log levels are
FATAL,ERROR,WARN,INFO,DEBUG, andTRACE. Multiple values can be combined with the|character. The default value of logging when enabled isFATAL|ERROR. -state-file-dirSTATE_DIRECTORY- Configure the job manager to write state files to

VARis the variable name andVALis the variables value. -seg-moduleSEG_MODULE- Configure the job manager to use the schedule event generator module named by
SEG_MODULEto detect job state changes events from the local resource manager, in place of the less efficient polling operations used in GT2. To use this, one instance of the globus-job-manager-event-generator must be running to process events for the LRM into a generic format that the job manager can parse. -audit-directoryAUDIT_DIRECTORY- Configure the job manager to write audit records to the directory named by
AUDIT_DIRECTORY. This records can be loaded into a database using the globus-gram-audit program. -globus-toolkit-versionTOOLKIT_VERSION- Configure the job manager to use
TOOLKIT_VERSIONas the version for audit and usage stats records. -service-tagSERVICE_TAG- Configure the job manager to use
SERVICE_TAGas a unique identifier to allow multiple GRAM instances to use the same job state directories without interfering with each other's jobs.

Name
globus-job-manager-event-generator — Create LRM-independent SEG files for the job manager to use
Synopsis
globus-job-manager-event-generator [-help] {-scheduler LRM} [-background] [-pidfile PIDPATH]
Description
The globus-job-manager-event-generator program is a utility which uses LRM-specific SEG parsers to generate a LRM-independent log file that a job manager instance can use to process job status change events. This program runs independently of all globus-job-manager instances so that only one process needs to deal with the LRM interface. The globus-job-manager-event-generator program can be run as a privileged user if required to interface with the LRM.
The full set of command-line options to globus-job-manager-event-generator consists of:
-help- Print command-line option summary and exit.
-schedulerLRM- Process events for the local resource manager
named by
LRM. -background- Run globus-job-manager-event-generator as a background process. It will fork a new process, print out its process ID and then the original process will terminate.
-pidfilePIDPATH- Write the process ID of an instance of globus-job-manager-event-generator to
the file named by
PIDPATH. This file can be used to kill or monitor the globus-job-manager-event-generator process.
Files
- globus-job-manager-seg.conf
- Configuration file for globus-job-manager-event-generator. Each line consists of
a string of the form
LRM_log_path=, which indicates the directory containing LRM-independent format SEG log files for the LRM. This file is created by the running the globus_scheduler_event_generator_job_manager_setup setup package.PATH
Name
globus-fork-starter — Start and monitor a fork job
Synopsis
globus-fork-starter
Description
The globus-fork-starter program is executes jobs
specified on its standard input stream, recording the job state changes
to a file defined in the
configuration file. It runs until its standard input stream is closed and
all jobs it is managing have terminated. The log generated by this program
can be used by the SEG to provide job state changes and exit codes to the
GRAM service. The globus-fork-starter program is typically
started by the fork GRAM module.
$GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-fork.conf
The globus-fork-starter program expects its input to be
a series of task definitions, separated by the newline character, each
representing a separate job. Each task definition contains a number of fields,
separated by the colon character. The first field is always the literal string
100 indicating the message format, the second field is
a unique job tag that will be distinguish the reply from this program
when multiple jobs are submitted. The rest of fields contain attribute
bindings. The supported attributes
are:
directory- Working directory of the job
environment- Comma-separated list of strings defining environment
variables. The form of these strings is
var=value count- Number of processes to start
executable- Full path to the executable to run
arguments- Comma-separated list of command-line arguments for the job
stdin- Full path to a file containing the input of the job
stdout- Full path to a file to write the output of the job to
stderr- Full path to a file to write the error stream of the job
Within each field, the following characters may be escaped by preceding them with the backslash character:
- backslash (\)
- semicolor (;)
- comma (,)
- equal (=)
Additionally, newline can be represented within a field by using the escape sequence \n.
For each job the globus-fork-starter processes, it replies by writing a single line to standard output. The replies again consist of a number of fields separated by the semicolon character.
For a successful job start, the first field of the reply is the literal
101, the second field is the tag from the input, and the
third field is a comma-separated list of SEG job identifiers which consist the
concatenation of a UUID and a process id. The
globus-fork-starter program will write state changes to the
SEG log using these job identifiers.
For a failure, the first field of the reply is the literal
102, the second field is the tag from the input, the
third field is the integer representation of a GRAM erorr code, and the
fourth field is an string explaining the error.
