EGI-InSPIRE RI EGI Hands On Training for AEGIS Users Parametric jobs overview (1) A parametric job causes a set of jobs to be generated from one JDL file Ideal in cases where many similar (but not identical) jobs must be run One or more parametric attributes is present in the JDL

EGI-InSPIRE RI EGI Hands On Training for AEGIS Users Parametric jobs overview (2) Key word _PARAM_ That value will be replaced by the actual value of Parameters during the jdl expansion The JobType in the JDL is Parametric

EGI-InSPIRE RI EGI Hands On Training for AEGIS Users Parametric jobs attributes (1) The attribute Parameters can be either a number, or a list of items (typically strings): –In the case of number, the value is the maximum value of the running parameter _PARAM_ –In the second case, it is the list of the values the parameter must take Parameters = {red, green, blue};

EGI-InSPIRE RI EGI Hands On Training for AEGIS Users Parametric jobs attributes (2) ParameterStart is the initial number of the running parameter ParameterStep is the increment of the running parameter between consecutive jobs Both attributes can be set only if Parameters is a number: Parameters=10; ParameterStart=1; ParameterStep=2;
