Re: [Condor-users] Location where input files are transferred.

Sameer,

 

All files are transferred to the same location on the target machine so you could just specify  . or .\ as the argument to the executable.  If a full path is required, then you can reference the environment variable %CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR% which is the full path to where your job is living at runtime.

P.S. In some versions of Condor, the environment variable is preceded by an underscore as in %_CONDOR_SCRATCH_DIR%.  Please check the online manual for the specifics.

Subject: [Condor-users] Location where input files are transferred.

 

Hi,

 

I have a windows executable which i am trying to submit to a condor pool. The executable requires multiple input files. Further the path (location) of the input files is required as an argument. 

for eg: the ollowig command is reqd to execute:

 

Executable_file_name C:\\ database_directory

 

I am trying to transfer the input files by specifying the names in the transfer_input_files attribute in the submit file. However I am unable to figure out where these files are transferred to in the condor pool from the submit host.

 

Can someone please help me out with this. I need to know the temporary location where the files are usually transferred to, from the submit machine to the execution machines of the condor pool so that i can specify this location as an argument to carry out the execution.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Sameer
