[Condor-users] passing parameters through nested DAGs?

["Triplett, Sara" <Sara.Triplett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

I am very new to working directly with Condor and am trying to learn more about building DAGs.  I have a workflow that can be represented with nested DAGs, and I’m wondering if there is something like VARS that works with DAGs.  I have a master DAG that needs to call several other DAGs, and each of these is identical except that they need to pass distinct parameters to the submit files they call.  For example:

 

# File name: dagA.dag

JOB FirstJob template.sub

JOB SecondJob othertemplate.sub

VARS FirstJob myparam="A"

VARS SecondJob myparam="A"

 

# File name: dagB.dag

JOB FirstJob template.sub

JOB SecondJob othertemplate.sub

VARS FirstJob myparam="B"

VARS SecondJob myparam="B"

 

And so on.  Is there some elegant way to have one “template” DAG file that takes and passes myparam through to the called .sub files?  Or do I actually need separate DAG files?

 

Thanks!

Sara
