Re: [Opaltoolkit-users] Opal job scheduler benefits

[Guillermo M. P. <gui...@si...>]

Hello Luca,

I currently can't run Opal jobs with Condor job scheduler:

Here's my basic app: bwa.xml --> http://pastebin.com/uGqvvBki
I know it has empty parameters but it's for testing purposes at this 
moment. All parameters and flags are run in a shell script invoked by 
condor job file.

I want opal to execute my bwa.condor file (condor job file) which 
currently works with condor_submit command but not with Opal.

Here's the content of bwa.condor: http://pastebin.com/P9GNwriJ
And here the bwa.sh invoked by bwa.condor to be executed on remote 
cluster: http://pastebin.com/dWzQa92E

Best regards,
Guillermo.
