[Condor-users] Hold reason: Cannot expand $$(variable) after qedit the wrong $$(variable) also

[Johnson koil Raj <johnson.raj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

   I am using RemoteIwd = $$(VAR) in my job I submitted a job with 
wrong $$(NetworkStoreDir) ad through condor_submit cmd. so the job went 
into hold state - Cannot expand $$(NetworkStoreDir) the schedd log is 
given below.

11/25 21:22:38 (pid:17962) Putting job 181.0 on hold - cannot expand 
$$(NetworkStoreDir)
11/25 21:22:38 (pid:17962) Job 181.0 put on hold: Cannot expand 
$$(NetworkStoreDir).
11/25 21:22:38 (pid:17962) abort_job_myself: 181.0 action:Hold 
log_hold:true notify:true

Then I qedit the ad and changed to $$(CCP_NetworkStoreDir) which is the 
correct one and issued condor_release. But the job once again went into 
the hold state and the reason is previous reason - Cannot expand 
$$(NetworkStoreDir) which is not in the job classAds but schedd is able 
to expand it correctly I can see from log the schedd log at that time.

11/25 21:24:58 (pid:17962) In Scheduler::contactStartd()
11/25 21:24:58 (pid:17962) $$ substitution: 
RemoteIwd="/Iexecute/NetworkStore/Test-7_Xen_VM"
11/25 21:24:58 (pid:17962) Putting job 181.0 on hold - cannot expand 
$$(NetworkStoreDir)
11/25 21:24:58 (pid:17962) Job 181.0 put on hold: Cannot expand 
$$(NetworkStoreDir).
11/25 21:24:58 (pid:17962) abort_job_myself: 181.0 action:Hold 
log_hold:true notify:true

The Job Ad shows clearly shows the $$(VAR) is matched with machine Ad by 
adding MATCH_ .

# condor_q 181.0 -l | grep NetworkStoreDir
RemoteIwd = "$$(CCP_NetworkStoreDir)Test-7_Xen_VM"
LastHoldReason = "Cannot expand $$(NetworkStoreDir)."
MATCH_CCP_NetworkStoreDir = "/Iexecute/NetworkStore/"
HoldReason = "Cannot expand $$(NetworkStoreDir)."

I issue condor_release for few more times but no luck so I removed  the 
job from the queue and re-submitted after changing the submit file which 
is the solution.

why condor_qedit changes didn't take effect. Is there is a bug or I am 
missing any thing from my side.
