defaultCPUTime

[ernstpijper]

Hi,

DIRAC py3 server 7.3.17, py3 pilot jobs and py3 diracos2 client

I have set my defaultCPUTime to 345600 seconds (96 hours) but was wondering if it was possible to set the defaultCPUTime based on VO.

Thanks,
Ernst

Hi Ernst,
I guess you have set it in the /Operations section of the Configuration, and in this case it is possible to set it per-VO. Where did you set it?

Cheers,
Federico

Hi Federico,

I set it in /Operations/Defaults/JobDescription/DefaultCPUTime = 345600

The you can just set it (additionally) for the VOs for which you want a different DefaultCPUTime in /Operations/vo_name/JobDescription/DefaultCPUTime

Hi Federico,

I guess this is what I tried before and found out it didn't work. Tried it again and I can see that de defaultcpdutime is still set to the wrong value. My config looks like this:

Few questions:

• was the job above submitted before or after the change in CS?
• what is the OwnerGroup of the job you show in the screenshot?
• are you sure you are not forcing a CPU time by other means?

Hi Federico,

Yes it was submitted after the change. I also did another reload (using runsvctrl) and submitted another job. Same result.
The OwnerGroup is pvier_user. I used the dirac egg naming convention.
I'm not enforcing the cputime anywhere else. I checked and cannot find any another place where this value is set.

Can you try the following from a client?

from DIRAC.Core.Base.Script import parseCommandLine
parseCommandLine()

from DIRAC import gLogger
gLogger.setLevel("DEBUG")

from DIRAC.ConfigurationSystem.Client.Helpers.Operations import Operations

opsHelper = Operations(group="pvier_user")
print(opsHelper.getValue("JobDescription/DefaultCPUTime"))

?

What is the result?

Got this, am i doing something wrong:

ernstp$ cat cputime.py
from DIRAC import initialize
initialize()

opsHelper = Operations(group="pvier_user")
opsHelper.getValue("JobDescription/DefaultCPUTime")
(base)

ah, sorry, version "issue". Do the slightly modified version above (I edited my previous comment).

[ernstpijper]

Still not:

ernstp$ python cputime.py

Try again (re-edited).

[ernstpijper]

ernstp$ python cputime.py
345600

I think I see it now: add /Operations/vo_name/DIRAC-Production/JobDescription/DefaultCPUTime

[andresailer]

Maybe Defaults also works:

/Operations/vo_name/Defaults/JobDescription/DefaultCPUTime
                    ^^^^^^^^

[ernstpijper]

Hi,

This one

/Operations/vo_name/DIRAC-Production/JobDescription/DefaultCPUTime

did not work but this one:

/Operations/vo_name/Defaults/JobDescription/DefaultCPUTime

did work.

Thank for your help.
