Hello,

I have HTCondor running in my environment, and I've successfully tested it with several software applications so far.

However, I'm currently encountering an issue with running the RASPA software. While RASPA is installed on the execution machine and runs perfectly when executed locally, it fails to produce any results when submitted through HTCondor. Moreover, the HTCondor log file "RASPA_error.err" does not indicate any errors, yet the expected output files from the RASPA execution do not appear on the HTCondor server.

Could you provide any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    Hi Bruno,
    
    If I had to guess, there is some missing environment variable.  You
    could try adding "getenv=true" to your submit file below and try
    again.
    
    Another idea is doing "condor_submit -i <name of submit
    file>", which should drop you at an interactive ssh prompt in a
    slot that matches your requirements (HAS_RASPA=True)  after your
    input files are transferred, with the same environment values.  Then
    you could issue the command "/usr/local/bin/simulate" and debug the
    problem interactively which may make things much easier.
    
    Let us know how it goes!
    
    regards,
    Todd

My submission file

-------------------

universe = vanilla
executable = /usr/local/bin/simulate
arguments = -i simulation.input -d /usr/local/
output = RASPA_output.out
error = RASPA_error.err
log = RASPA_job.log
environment = "RASPA_DIR=/usr/local"
transfer_input_files = run, simulation.input
should_transfer_files   = YES
when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT
transfer_executable = False
requirements = HAS_RASPA

Thank you.
