4.1.2 Enabling submitting multiple jobs

You can configure the Job Submit page to allow for multiple jobs to be submitted on each submit request.

To enable submitting multiple jobs

1. Open the jobs.xml file located in the Viewpoint home directory.
2. Configure the <queue> element. See Configuring the <queue> element.


The <queue> element stores all components on the form, because the <request> element does not support different requirements. You do not need to specify a <requirement-data> element. See Configuring the <queue> element.

Example 4-1: Enabling multiple job submit

<queue name="Your Job Request">
  <queue-item>
    <title>
      <description>Job:</description>
      <component id="job-name" />
    </title>
    <row order="1" required="true">
      <description>Resources</description>
      <calculate operation="append-in-order">
        <value order="1">
          <component id="nodeCount" />
        </value>
        <value order="2"> Nodes, </value>
        <value order="3">
          <component id="procCount" />
        </value>
        <value order="4"> PPN</value>
      </calculate>
    </row>
    <row order="2" type="dynamic" source="storage-list">
      <description>Storage:</description>
      <component id="storage-list" />
    </row>
  </queue-item>
</queue>
