VManager + DRM user specific config (HTCondor)

Please refer to the section "Creating User-defined DRM API for Parallel Merge / Parallel Rank/ DRM Options" in the docs: support.cadence.com/.../techpubDocViewerPage

You basically have to provide a Tcl file that implements some call-backs to submit / kill / monitor the jobs by calling out to the right commands in your DRM (HTCondor) and returning the information in the format that vManager expects.

Hello Stephen,

That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much for your help and support!!

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for comming back to this, but I have another question:

I am having issues builinng the submit_job procedure specified in the documentation. I am unsure where the job_template parameter is created.

Should I create the associative array on the TCL file? is this taken from the .vsif file? does this come from vManager somehow?

Thank you for your help and support.

Hi Baudilio.

The job_template is given to your Tcl proc as an input from vManager, you don't have to construct it yourself. It's basically just an associative array containing a "command" key/value pair and a set of optional key/value pairs for other things that vManager might pass to you if it needs to. You Tcl has to check for these key/value pairs and decode them to control the underlying DRM submission command. There is an small example here: https://support.cadence.com/apex/techpubDocViewerPage?xmlName=vmanagerinstall.xml&title=Cadence%20vManager%20Installation%20and%20Configuration%20Guide%20--%20Setting%20Up%20the%20Regression%20Environment%20-%203.11.1.3%20submit_job&hash=SettingUptheRegressionEnvironment-3.11.1.31135112submit_job&c_version=20.03&path=vManagerinstall/vManagerinstall20.03/Setting_Up_the_Regression_Environment.html#SettingUptheRegressionEnvironment-3.11.1.31135112submit_job

Hi Stephen,

Thank you very much for your help so far!

I am currently having an issue with the get_job_status procedure: TCL error when evaluating user DRM tcl file /home/baudilio.garcia/vmanager/HTCondor.tcl while calling get_job_status
wrong # args: should be "get_job_status job_id"

But according to the documentation, there should only be 1 argument?

This is the procedure that I have created:

Any ideas of what could be happening?

Thank you very much for your help and support.

Hmmm... I honestly don't know about that. You could try the Tcl "variable args list" approach as described in the Tcl docs: http://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/proc.htm so instead of "proc get_job_status {job_id}" you would do "proc get_job_status args", then treat args as an array and pick item 0 from the array inside your proc's body. If that fails, May I request you to open a support ticket on https://support.cadence.com/ so that one of the hotline team could assist you (I won't be available for a couple of weeks, and this forum isn't staffed as a full-time support channel).
