Re: [HTCondor-users] Perform condor_q, condor_status selections on Requirements

[Brian Bockelman <bbockelm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Max,

Iâm not sure I completely understand your email.  Are you asking if thereâs a way to filter a set of ClassAds based on whether thereâs a symmetric match with a given ad instead of a constraint?

If so, I think the silly script below might help.  *NOTE* the python bindings are a bit more restrictive on scoping than condor_q.  So, if you replace the job requirements below with:

Requirements = SlotID =?= 1;

(no explicit TARGET), it wonât work.

If you donât want a symmetric match, you can do:

job.matches(machine)

to determine whether the job ClassAd matches machineâs REQUIREMENTS expression.  Of course,

job.symmetricMatch(machine)

is equivalent to:

job.symmetricMatch(machine) && machine.symmetricMatch(job)

Brian



import classad
import htcondor

job = classad.ClassAd("""
[
   RequestMemory = 500;
   RequestCPUs = 3;
   RequestDisk = 1;
   Requirements = TARGET.SlotID =?= 1;
]
""")
coll = htcondor.Collector()

for machine in coll.query(htcondor.AdTypes.Startd):
    if job.symmetricMatch(machine):
        print machine["Name"]
