[Iplant-api-dev] Failed job but no error message

[Rion Dooley]

Hey Darren,

You can get the local id a couple different ways. During run time, the SGE job id is given in the JSON job description as the "localJobID" field. You can also get it from the *.out file in the work directory. For example, for job 32545, you can list the output folder by calling:

https://foundation.iplantcollaborative.org/apps-v1/job/32545/output/list/

Which will tell you the contents of the work folder is another folder called lonestar, so calling:

https://foundation.iplantcollaborative.org/apps-v1/job/32545/output/list/lonestar

will list a bunch of other generated files during execution. Browsing them shows that you had an output file called imicrobe-blast-2225-simap-32545.out. Downloading that file using the following url shows the scheduler gave the local job id several times in the output log.

https://foundation.iplantcollaborative.org/apps-v1/job/32545/output/lonestar/imicrobe-blast-2225-simap-32545.out

The first and last are shown below.


TACC: Setting memory limits for job 1537860<tel:1537860> to unlimited KB

...

TACC: Cleaning up after job: 1537860<tel:1537860>
TACC: Done.

let me know if that helps.

There are about 20 or so failed jobs all with no message in the json
result. The job IDs of one run is from 32544-32551. Is there a way to
figure out what the sge id is in order to query on job on Lonestar
using qacct or can someone else do some investigation to find out why
they failed.

This type of job was working when launched from a script running on my
computer but now I'm moving them over to a condor node and had to make
a few changes to the scripts.

Just to be clear, the status of all jobs is FAILED but there is now
descriptive message about why they failed.
