Running Job Scripts

Job Environment

A number of environment variables are required for hps-mc to function properly.

These need to be setup by sourcing this script before attempting to run any jobsBefore running job scripts, you need to setup the environment using a script generated during the build:

. hps-mc/install/bin/hps-mc-env.sh

The HPSJAVA_JAR variable will by default point to the copy built during the installation.  You can override this by setting it to point to a copy of the jar you want to use instead e.g.

export HPSJAVA_JAR=~/.m2/repository/org/hps/hps-distribution/4.0/hps-distribution-4.0-bin.jar

The SLIC application binary needs to be present in the environment (the SLIC environment is not managed directly by hps-mc), and you can check for this using:

which slic

If this application is not found then run the slic-env.sh to set it up before executing any hps-mc jobs.

Running Job Scripts

Running individual job scripts requires providing a JSON file with required parameters.
