[Condor-users] dagman progress as classad?

[Horvátth Szabolcs <szabolcs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was thinking about using the dagman job as a simple database container 
for storing the number of all dag jobs (even those that are not yet 
submitted),
and the amount of already completed jobs. By adding a custom attribute 
to the job to store the number of all jobs and periodically update the
completed jobs, a user interface could easily query the progress of a 
whole dag without actually looking at the child jobs' status.

But since DAGMan has all this information already, I'm curious whether 
this could be done easily with the current tools or not.
And if not, than I'd suggest adding such attributes to the dagman job 
for simple job progress analysis.
Writing a custom script that periodically sets the attributes via 
condor_qedit is quite simple but the dagman executable could
do this much more efficiently.

Cheers,
Szabolcs
