Re: [HTCondor-users] which status for a Held DAGMAN ?

[Cole Bollig <cabollig@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stefano,

Being held is not considered an error for DAGMan. When you run condor_hold on a running DAGMan job, the DagStatus attribute in the node status file should actually be 3 (submitted) with an inline comment saying "STATUS_SUBMITTED (held)". That being said when writing the node status file, DAGMan checks to see if the DAG is finished executing. This would take precedence over the hold and set the status to done or error.

Dear experts,

with reference to the list of possible DagStatus values in the node
status file

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/automated-workflows/dagman-information-files.html*current-node-status-file__;Iw!!Mak6IKo!O3TGkKL3kkvYmstgdZ0TcndQLXuR4Y5jUOia-cGFK-m33lSawslXvQQZTKtfAtbdo8BEOL1H2S4qRhXNBGPR4u1lKRd2HQ$

Am I correct in assuming that when a running DAG is held via condor_old
as per
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/automated-workflows/dagman-interaction.html*suspending-a-running-dag__;Iw!!Mak6IKo!O3TGkKL3kkvYmstgdZ0TcndQLXuR4Y5jUOia-cGFK-m33lSawslXvQQZTKtfAtbdo8BEOL1H2S4qRhXNBGPR4u1ieQCeMA$

it goes into FAILED status ?

I have seen this, but before I "code around it", would like to be sure
that it reliably happens all of the times.

Thanks

Stefano
