24.4 Requesting job templates directly
Context
When a job template has its SELECT attribute set to TRUE, you can request that template directly on job submission.
To directly request job templates
- Set the SELECT attribute on the template in moab.cfg.
- Submit a job with a resource list (msub -l), requesting the template using the format template=<templateName>.
JOBCFG[medium.set] NODESET=ONEOF:FEATURE:fast,slow SELECT=true
> msub -l template=medium.set
Moab creates a job with the medium.set job template created in step 1.
Attributes set in the template are evaluated as if they were part of the job submission. They are still subject to all of the same ACLs and policies.
