6.5. Start your run
Make sure a rocoto module is loaded: module load rocoto
If needed check for available rocoto modules on machine: module avail rocoto
or module spider rocoto
6.5.1. Start your run from within your EXPDIR
rocotorun -d $PSLOT.db -w $PSLOT.xml
The first jobs of your run should now be queued or already running (depending on machine traffic). How exciting!
You’ll now have a “logs” folder in both your ROTDIR
and EXPDIR
. The EXPDIR log folder contains workflow log files (e.g. rocoto command results) and the ROTDIR
log folder will contain logs for each job (previously known as dayfiles).
6.5.2. Set up your experiment cron
Note
Orion and Hercules currently only support cron on Orion-login-1 and Hercules-login-1, respectively. Cron support for other login nodes is coming in the future.
crontab -e
or
crontab $PSLOT.crontab
Warning
The crontab $PSLOT.crontab
command will overwrite existing crontab file on your login node. If running multiple crons recommend editing crontab file with crontab -e
command.
Check your crontab settings:
crontab -l
Crontab uses following format:
*/5 * * * * /path/to/rocotorun -w /path/to/workflow/definition/file -d /path/to/workflow/database/file
