3 Submitting Jobs

Compute Manager allows access to solvers on a registered Enterprise PBS Professional complex. Asolver (or application) is an executable that can be executed in the background or in batch-mode. Inaddition, when you successfully connect to an Enterprise PBS Professional complex, Compute Managerautomatically populates with these applications. It is important to note that application exposed on anEnterprise PBS Professional complex are only manageable by the site administrator; meaning you (as auser) cannot create, modify, or remove an application from Compute Manager.

The Job Submission window is divided into four separate panes:

3.2 Creating and Using a Job Submission Profile

Job submission profiles are customized shortcuts for submitting a job. If you submit multiple jobs to thesame application with the same arguments, it makes sense for you to create a profile that has thesearguments pre-populated for you - streamlining the process of job submission.

After submitting a job, you will notice that a Last Submitted profile is automatically created by ComputeManager. Compute Manager always saves the last job that was submitted in the Last Submittedprofile. If you would like to save the job that was just submitted more permanently you can save it in itsown profile.

4.1 Refining Job Monitoring Selection Criteria

Once you have submitted a job to an Enterprise PBS Professional complex, you will want to monitor thejob for queuing, execution, and completion. By refining your monitoring criteria, you can display all jobssubmitted to the Enterprise PBS Professional complex, or only a subset of those jobs. Displaying a listof your submitted jobs is the default. There are four main categories of selection criteria that may beused to refine your job monitoring display results:

My Jobs - only display jobs that you have submitted.

Applications - only display jobs that have submitted for specified application(s) (i.e., solvers).

Servers - only display jobs that have been submitted to specified Enterprise PBS ProfessionalServer(s).

Job States - only display jobs that are in a specified state(s).

All of these categories can be expanded (except for My Jobs) providing additional selection criteria tofurther refine your job monitoring display results. To expand the category, click on the bullet next to thecategory. To collapse the category, click on the bullet a second time. These categories are notmutually exclusive, so you may refine your selection criteria by choosing selection criteria acrossseveral categories. This allows you to display subsets of job monitoring results such as: all jobs thatare queued on a particular server or all jobs in a running state that are running the PBSJobAppapplication. You can also monitor all jobs, by unchecking all monitoring criteria checkboxes.

As jobattributes are added to the display (see Adding and Deleting Job Attributes) and column widths areadjusted (see Changing Size of Column Headings), Compute Manager will automatically add a scroll barto allow for horizontal scrolling to view all job attributes. Since the Job ID and State attributes are frozen,they will remain viewable in the Job Monitoring window as horizontal scrolling is being done. Other jobattributes can also be frozen so that they remain fixed and viewable.

To free a job attribute so that it remains fixed within the Job Monitoring window, right-click on thecorresponding column heading.

Click Freeze xxxxx where xxxxx is the job attribute to freeze. In this example, the application nameattribute will be frozen.

4.2.6 Rearranging Job Monitoring Columns

Columns can be rearranged in the Job Monitoring Display window. There is however a caveat torearranging columns. You may only rearrange columns within a group of unfrozen job attributes or withina group of frozen attributes (see Freezing a Job Attribute). Job Id and State are displayable jobattributes that are considered "frozen" by Compute Manage. This means that these columns will alwaysbe presented in the Job Monitoring display window. A non-frozen job attribute cannot be moved to theleft of Job ID or State. As long as no other job attributes are frozen, Job ID and State will alwaysremain the first two columns in the Job Monitoring display.

Rearranging unfrozen job attribute columns

For this example, only the Job ID and State job attributes are frozen (done automatically byCompute Manager).

To rearrange the order of the column headings in the Job Monitoring display window for unfrozenjob attributes, click and drag the column heading horizontally either right or left. Any of theunfrozen columns can be moved horizontally right or left within the group of unfrozen attributes. For this example, the Queue column will be moved to the left of the Application column.

The column will be moved to the location that was selected. Since Queue was an unfrozen jobattribute, it cannot be moved to the left of Job ID or the State columns.
