[HTCondor-users] comparison operators in job transforms/routes

[Thomas Hartmann <thomas.hartmann@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am trying to write a job transform, where I would like to make a case 
comparison like [1].

My problem is right now, that the ad's value comparison fails for the 
condition with

   > job_transforms: ERROR applying transform DESYMCOREReweight 
(err=-3,rval=-1,msg=RequestCpus >= 2 is not a valid if condition)

I tried $(var) like `if $(RequestCpus) >= 2` as well, but the ad (to be 
evaluated) seems to be too compound for being a <simple condition>

  > job_transforms: ERROR applying transform DESYMCOREReweight 
(err=-3,rval=-1,msg=$(RequestCpus) >= 2 is not a valid if condition 
because complex conditionals are not supported)

assuming that syntax is the same for job transforms/routes with 8.9+ and 
submissions [2]

Interestingly, no error is thrown when the integer of requested cores 
and the integer in the comparison are the same, i.e., `RequestCpus >= 3` 
with `request_cpus = 3`.

Maybe I am missing something obvious here, but in principle it should 
work to do comparison operations in job transforms conditionals, or?

Installed packages are [3]

Cheers,
  Thomas

JOB_TRANSFORM_NAMES = $(JOB_TRANSFORM_NAMES), MCOREReweight

JOB_TRANSFORM_MCOREReweight @=end

if RequestCpus >= 2
  EVALSET MYAcctGroup = $(MYAcctGroup).mcore
else
  EVALSET MYAcctGroup = $(MYAcctGroup).score
endif

@end
