Monitoring Jobs

This is the part of the client where you can check the status of your submitted jobs and retrieve the results.

Overview

Once a job is submitted, the UNICORE NJS server tracks its status, and by using the Job Monitoring functions of the user client, the status can be monitored, and job groups can be killed or put on hold. After a job is terminated (normally, by job monitor commands or because of a job failure), the user can retrieve the job results (standard output, standard error, result files) and transmit them to the local workstation. After all results have been retrieved, the job information can be purged from the UNICORE system.

A UNICORE job is actually run under control of a local batch system in one of the batch queues on the execution system. As far as the UNICORE system is concerned, the following job states (both for job groups and for tasks) are supported
