Re: [Condor-users] user_job_wrapper and class ads

[Dan Bradley <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jon,

In Condor 7.4.0, the job ClassAd will be available as a file (named 
.job.ad) in the job's scratch area on the worker node.

In Condor 7.2, the best mechanism that I can think of is to pass the 
information about the job in the job's environment.  In your case, this 
does involve duplication, though I suppose you could do things like this:

In the submit file:

environment = RequiresWholeMachine=true

In the submit-side config file:

RequiresWholeMachine = regexp("RequiresWholeMachine=true",MY.Environment)
SUBMIT_EXPRS = $(SUBMIT_EXPRS) RequiresWholeMachine

So the user only has to define RequiresWholeMachine once, in the 
environment, and then the RequiresWholeMachine ClassAd attribute is 
automatically injected for them as an expression that searches through 
the environment for the environment variable of the same name.  It's a 
bit of a strange way to do things, but I think it should work.
