jobs and the job manager

submission info

• unless specified otherwise in the module JSON with the directive "nojobcontrol" : "on", each submission can only run once in a specific user project directory
• additional jobs must wait until the prior one completes

job manager

• the job manger provides the user with the ability to

  • view prior and running jobs
  • remove jobs from history
  • note the related project files are not deleted and must be handled separately via the file manager
  • clear locks on projects
  • generally caused by jobs that fail (this is typically an issue with the module executable itself)
  • reattach to jobs
  • it can be running or completed
  • if you change an underlying module json the reattachment may be confusing to the user as any changed fields in input or output will not be mapped
    • we may eventually implement module versioning to notify the user
  • [not currently functional] cancel running jobs

• color coding:

  • the project can be
  • white (not locked)
  • red (locked by this job)
  • yellow (locked by another job)
