Hi all,
I'm a part of IGE project (Initiative for Globus in Europe). In our RT
system we received a question about "Support for Environment Modules in
GRAM5". The body of the request is below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When submitting a job, I would like to specify a list of modules that
will be loaded before and unloaded after the job is/was executed
automatically by globus GRAM."
Use cases:
Setting up the environment before submitting/executing job.
Invocing an executable in different versions.
Rationale (why is this important - expected impact?):
Comfortable setup of an reproduceable environment for job execution. The
need to write a wrapper script that first loads modules to setup the
environment and make programs in specific version available will be
omitted. Further, a typical user has not access to a compute resource to
write his own wrapper script.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you please specify if this functionality is there or could be
introduced in next releases?
Cheers,
Sebastian
