© Geodise Project, University of Southampton, gd_condorsubmit Command Submits a job through a Globus resource to a Condor pool Syntax handle = gd_condorsubmit(classAD_Structure, RSL_Structure,… resourceManagerContact, filesystemType) Inputs – classAD_Structure : A structure describing Condor submit description file – RSL_Structure : A structure describing Globus resource specification – resourceManagerContact : A string describing the Grid resource – filesystemType : 'NFS' for a shared filesystem. (Optional) Output: –handle: A string showing the handle for a successfully submitted job.

© Geodise Project, University of Southampton, Using gd_condorsubmit 1.Define your ClassAD as a Matlab structure. 2.Define your RSL as a Matlab structure. 3.Make a job submission to the Globus server.

© Geodise Project, University of Southampton, Grid Support Functions and Tools Support functions and tools allow end users to –Verify that the specific Grid resources they require are available by checking basic functionality such as authentication, file transfer, and job submission, –Check that their applications and files exist on the Grid resource, –Make sure that user security settings are configured correctly. Matlab functions are available. They are also integrated to the workflow editor.
