possible to split ./bin/generate_events into two steps?

Asked by Yurii Maravin

Dear all,

I am trying to submit a grid-pack production of a relatively heavy process on a batch system. My problem is that the machines that allow me to submit jobs on queue limits any interactive job to 2 hours, while f951 process that takes place before submission sometimes takes 6-7 hours. Is there an ability to modify the code so that the grid pack production can be split into two steps - once all f951 processes are completed, and the second process would submit and combine jobs? I could compile MEs on the machine with no time limits, and then I would submit the jobs on a separate machine as a second step.

Thanks!
Yurii

Hi Yurii,

We don't have an external script/ a command to compile all part of the code.
The only way is to run the following set of commands:
cd Source
make
make ../bin/internal/gen_ximprove
make ../bin/internal/combine_events
for directory in P*; do cd $directory && make; cd - ;done

Cheers,

Olivier
