Enable a per-user account string to be passed to PBSPro backend. #55

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
One of our clusters requires an account string argument to be passed to PBS as 
a part of every job submission. This can be passed as a normal PBS argument, as 
either part of the qsub command, eg:

qsub  -A accountString  jobscript.sh

Or within the script:
qsub -A accountString

Account strings change from user to user and a single user may have access to 
multiple accounts (although the typical case is a user would always use the 
same account. In our system account strings consist of alphanumeric characters 
plus dash (-) and underscore (_).

Ideally, this would be implemented as a user changeable setting (in the account 
tab?).

In the short term, if it will take some time to implement this change, can we 
do simple something like patch the qsub template to add a default account 
string which will enable us to continue testing on the cluster?

Thanks,

Cas

Stage one proposal:

Attach the accounting string to the BackendCredential for a user. Have just a 
single string. This will allow testing on the cluster to continue until we 
improve the users interface for this. Comments?

This would do the job fine for us. Most of our users tend to use only one 
account string so it is not a major issue if the user can not change it 
themselves.

Have added a new text field to both Backend, and BackendCredential. This will 
be filled with a submission script template. If the submission script in 
BackendCredential is blank, then the submission script from the corresponding 
backend is used.

added in rev 48313a07d9c4.
