Re: [Condor-users] Windows and load_profile

["Michael O'Donnell" <odonnellm@xxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the information. I have
an application that requires the user profile and registry. However, I
cannot seem to load the profile. I have done this in the past, but it does
not seem to work. I am using the following:

Submit file:
load_profile = true

Config file:
STARTER_ALLOW_RUNAS_OWNER = FALSE (This
is the default and I have tried both not specifying and specifying)

The submit file log states the there
was an Abnormal termination (signal -1073741819). I checked the shadowlog
and the error seems to be the same, and I cannot find any additional hints
in any of the log files generated by Condor. My program also creates a
log file, but there is no output.

The program that is submitted when I
do not use loadprofile, runs successfully, except for the execution of
the program requiring the user profile. I get debugging output from this.
I am using try, except statements so nothing can cause the program to fail
if there is a problem. If I use loadprofile, the program is submitted to
an execute machine but then is terminated and there is no output other
than the log I described above. If I runasowner, the program runs on the
working node, but the program that requires the user profile cannot run.

So, there seems to be a problem with
loadprofile. I have a lot of custom settings for SSL and so forth, but
everything here seems to be working based on the condor log files.

Any ideas? Thanks, 
Michael

Can someone explain how load_profile submit file command works? Does this
load a profile on the execute machine if the profile exists or is it loading
the user's profile into the window station from the submit machine.


Hi Mike,

It loads a user profile on the execute machine. It can't
be used with run_as_owner so it won't ever load your submitting user's
profile. If you don't set this or set it to False you get a leaner execution
environment for the job without the user registry access and environment
settings. If you have software that expects to be able to access a user
hive in the registry turning this to true usually solves the issue. Example:
I find it necessary to use this with jobs that want to run Excel-based
work.

Regards,
- Ian
