Hi, We are trying to migrate from a home grown environment to a Globus based solution for a remote compute environment. Today we create tarballs of input data + job script and FTP to an SGE headnode. A cron job unpacks the tarball and then submits the job script.
We have setup a GT 4.2.1 environment with SGE. We plan to use GridFTP + RTF for the data management and submit the jobs using GRAM4-WS. One issue we are having or at least trying to understand is an easy way to setup the required directory / work area for the jobs. Today the tarballs easily lay this out when unpacked. i.e. Local network /nfs/server1/project/RnD/input We make a tar from the / and then upack on the remote network to this /remote/nfs/server1/project/RnD/input The jobs output to /remote/nfs/server1/project/RnD/output Then we make a tarball starting at /nfs/... which can then be unpacked back on the local network. Is it possible to do something similiar within the GRAM/RSL environment when submitting jobs? Kind regards, Dougal
