Turning on reporting for SGE

Before building the WS GRAM SGE job manager you need to modify the SGE installation to turn on reporting. This is easily done using the 'qconf' command.

As user root on nodeC run:

[root@nodeC sge-root]# /opt/sge-root/bin/lx24-x86/qconf -mconf

This invokes the default system editor. Find the 'reporting_params' configuration option in the file and edit it so that it appears as shown below:

shepherd_cmd	none
qmaster_params	none
execd_params	none
reporting_params	accounting=true reporting=true \
	flush_time=00:00:15 joblog=true sharelog=00:00:00
finished_jobs	100
gid_range	20000-20500
qlogin_command	telnet
qlogin_daemon	/usr/sbin/in.telnetd

Quit the editor and run a simple job as user root in order to test and make sure that the reporting is working:

[root@nodeC ~]# /opt/sge-root/bin/lx24-x86/qsub /opt/sge-root/examples/jobs/simple.sh

Watch for it to finish using /opt/sge-root/bin/lx24-x86/qstat, and look in /root/ for the job output:

[root@nodeC ~]# cat simple.sh.o3

Note that simple.sh.o3 is an example filename, you may want to do an ls -la command to find a recently created simple.sh.o* file, this will be the file you should look to for the job output.

Fri Feb 24 10:43:50 CST 2006

Now check for the 'reporting' file:

[root@nodeC ~]# ls -l /opt/sge-root/default/common/reporting
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1516 Feb 24 10:44 /opt/sge-root/default/common/reporting

This file is necessary, since it is used by GRAM to monitor the status of a job.
