DESCRIPTION
Allow submitting the source script on either the default ECaccess batch queue or the ECaccess batch queue specified with the -queueName option. ECaccess batch queue name can be obtained with the ecaccess-queue-list command (the default queue is the first in the list). A special service (see option -eventIds) allows to automatically submit jobs to be run when certain points in the daily ECMWF operational forecast suite have been reached. The main purpose is to ensure that certain data is available before e.g. submitting a MARS request. These events correspond to the different stages when the ECMWF operational activity has produced certain data or products. The list of events can be retrieved with the ecaccess-event-list command. In order to facilitate the migration from the old ECtools (ecjreq/ecjput commands) the equivalents options can be set using their old names (e.g. -at for -scheduledDate). This should limit the scripts modifications for job submissions.
ARGUMENTS
source The name of the file which contains the job input script
(depending of the -distant option this file is either at ECMWF
or local to your workstation).
OPTIONS
-distant
By default the source is specifying a file which is local to
your workstation. Using this option allow submitting a script
which is already at ECMWF.
-encrypt
By default the source file is uploaded through the plain text
channel (http). Using this option will force the upload to
occurs through the SSL secure channel (https). This option only
apply for local scripts (no -distant).
-bufsize length
Specify the length of the buffer (in bytes) which is used to
upload the file. The larger the buffer the smaller the number
of http/s requests. By default a buffer of 524288 bytes (512KB)
is used. This option only apply for local scripts (no
-distant).
-at, -scheduledDate date
Allow specifying the start date for the Job. By default the job
will start as soon as possible. The format for the date is
'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm'.
-nd, -noDirectives
Allow submitting a job with no scheduler directives. Some
default directives will be added to your input script to allow
processing the job.
-tg, -gateway name
This is the name of the target ECaccess Gateway for the
transfers. It is by default the Gateway you are connected to.
In order to get the name of your current Gateway you can use
the ecaccess-gateway-name command. When using the commands at
ECMWF the default Gateway is always "ecaccess.ecmwf.int".
-tr, -remote location
Defines the target ECtrans location in the format association-
name[@protocol].
-to, -transferOutput
Request the transfer of the job standard output to the gateway
and remote location defined in the -gateway and -remote
options.
-te, -transferError
Request the transfer of the job error output to the gateway and
remote location defined in the -gateway and -remote options.
-ti, -transferInput
Request the transfer of the job input to the gateway and remote
location defined in the -gateway and -remote options.
-tk, -keep
Allow keeping the transfers requests in the spool.
-ni, -eventIds list
Allow giving a list of event-identifiers to subscribe to with
the Job. The list should be separated by ';' or ','.
-eo, -sterr2Stdout
Force redirection of the job standard error output (stderr) to
the job standard output (stdout).
-ro, -noRenew
The job subscriptions to events will not be renewed.
-mu, -mailTo email
Defines the target email address (default: current ECMWF user
identifier).
-mb, -onStart
Allow sending a mail when the execution/transfer begins.
-me, -onSuccess
Allow sending a mail when the execution/transfer ends.
-mf, -onFailure
Allow sending a mail when the execution/transfer fails.
-mr, -onRetry
Allow sending a mail when the execution/transfer retries.
-queueName name
The name of the ECaccess batch queue to submit the job to.
-jn, -jobName name
Allow specifying a name for the new Job (other than the Job
Identifier). If no name is specified then the name of the input
script is used.
-mp, -manPage content
Allow giving the man page content which will be displayed to
the ECMWF operators in case of problems with your Job (e.g.
what to do or who to contact).
-lt, -lifeTime days
Allow specifying the job input/output life time in days. The
default is 7 days.
-rc, -retryCount number
Defines the number of retries. The default is 0.
-rf, -retryFrequency frequency
Defines the frequency of retries in seconds. The default is 600
seconds.
-version
Display version number and exits.
-help Print a brief help message and exits.
-manual Prints the manual page and exits.
-retry count
Number of SSL connection retries per 5s to ECMWF. This
parameter only apply to the initial SSL connection initiated by
the command to the ECMWF server. It does not apply to all the
subsequent requests made afteward as it is mainly targeting
errors that can happen from time to time during the SSL
handshake. Default is no retry.
-debug Display the SOAP and SSL messages exchanged.
EXAMPLES
ecaccess-job-submit -noDirectives ./test.txt Transfer the local file test.txt to your ECMWF spool and submit the job to the default ECaccess batch queue. The source does not have any directives.
