$APT_CONFIG_FILE value in individual job

[dnat]

Hi,

I am having a parallel job where i have hardcoded the value for $APT_CONFIG_FILE to use a single node config file. I am calling this job through a job sequence. The default config file for this project is set to 4 node config file.

When i run the job sequence, will the individual job run with 1-node config file or is there a method to run it in single node. Should i pass the environment variable's value through the sequencer?

Thanks

The explicit hard-coded value for APT_CONFIG will take precedence and that job will run with that config file.

Also, if need be, then you can use your 4 - node config file for your job and yet manage to run individual stages on one or more nodes. This can be done by using node map / resource constraints. Please note that not all stages support it.

Always in parallel jobs add $APT_CONFIG_FILE as a job parameter with $PROJDEF as the default value of the job parameter.

If your configuration file includes node pools and/or disk pools, individual stages can be constrained to execute in these. In an SMP environment there's not a great deal of value in doing so but, in a multiple-machine environment, there definitely is.
