Submitting a job
The Submit Job page is designed to help you submit a Moab job through Viewpoint. You can select the script you want the job to perform—either a script you have already uploaded, or a new script. You can specify the job walltime, the resources, and the node features required for the job submission.
By default, the root user (moab-admin in Viewpoint, or root in the Moab command line) cannot submit jobs.
Please note that in order to submit jobs in Viewpoint, the LDAP user who is logged into Viewpoint must also exist on the Moab Workload Manager server and in the same groups. For example, if tjones is logged into Viewpoint, and tjones is in the acme group, then this user/group mapping must also exist on the Moab server. The following commands would establish that relationship:
# groupadd acme # useradd -g acme tjones
To submit a job in Viewpoint
- Go to the Submit Job page (Jobs > Submit Job).
- Do one of the following:
- If you want the job to run a previously-uploaded script, choose Select Existing Script, and select the script you want the job to run.
- If you want the job to run a new script, choose Upload New Script, and navigate to the script file you want to upload and select it.
- Complete the other fields, as necessary. For details, see Fields: Submit Job.
- When you are finished, choose Save.
