[HTCondor-users] Job Materialisation Time

[Jeff Templon <templon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Related to the discussion yesterday about delaying certain jobs, we have something that works well, with one caveat - it relies on the `QDate`, which I would have thought would have been the moment that the job appeared in the queue.  For a job array using the MaxIdle parameter, thatâs not the case â suppose MaxIdle is 20, the first 20 jobs show up âin the queueâ (meaning I can see them via condor_q) at `QDate`, other jobs âshow up in the queueâ later after some of the first twenty have started, but they still have the same `QDate`.  Also there is no MaterialiizationDate ClassAd.  Could we get one?  Otherwise there is no reliable way to get the materialisation date - I could parse it out of the JobID, but the manual says not to.

Thanks,

JT
