User Interface Client Tools

Following are some of the services (and basic usage) which the UI provides:

Job submission

edg-job-submit --vo [virtual-organisation] --output [file-name] jdl-file

where --vo is the name of the users virtual organisation, --output specifies what file to write the jobId to whilst jdl-file is the name of the job script. Note that the job script must be the last argument.

Job status

edg-job-status jobId

The jobId will be of the form:

https://CE.fully.qualified.domainname:9000/unique-string-identifier

Important states include Ready, Scheduled, Running and Done (Success or Failure).

Listing of available resources

edg-job-list-match --vo [virtual-organisation] jdl-file

Provides a list of available computing elements which match the resources requested in the jdl-file.

Getting job output

edg-job-get-output jobId

Retrieves the job output sandbox from the computing element. Job output can be retrieved when the edg-job-status command reports that the state of the job is "Done (Success)".

edg-job-get-logging-info -v [0|1|2] jobId

This command retrieves the logging information of the job. The -v switch specifies the verbosity of the output.
