Re: [HTCondor-users] Don't understand RETRY in DAGMan [I think I see the problem] (fwd)

[Ralph Finch <ralphmariafinch@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kent, thanks much for looking at the logs, discovering my error, and suggesting the fix.

Rescue DAG runs now work properly but all is not quite well yet. Now, after the failed node(s) run successfully, the condor_dagman.exe doesn't quit...just remains in a Run state. Another overlooked option on my part? I'd like it to quit, of course, after the re-submittal and all nodes have finished, successfully or failed.

Oops -- I just did a reply to sender and didn't send this to the list.  I thought I should send it to the list, just to make this clear:  doing

  condor_submit_dag -f <whatever>.dag

will prevent any rescue DAGs from being used (the -f is what's significant).

Kent

Actually, the problem is that you're passing the -force flag to condor_submit_dag on the runs that ignore the rescue dag.  You don't need the individual log files for the rescue DAG to work.

In the condor_submit_dag man page, the description of -force mentions that it will prevent a rescue DAG from being used, but I guess that needs to be added to the rescue DAG subsection of the main DAGMan section.
