In order to use ecFlow we first need to start the ecflow_server
Shared Machine
On a shared machine multiple users and ecFlow servers can coexist. Start an ecflow_server:
by typing the following
> ecflow_start.sh
This will start an ecflow_server running on your system with a port number unique to your user ID.
With this script ecFlow log files and check point files are created in the directory $HOME/ecflow_server.
This can be changed by using:
> ecflow_start.sh -d $HOME/course
Please keep a note of the Host and Port given from your ecf_start.sh output for later.
The host and port number uniquely identify your ecflow_server.
When you want to access this server using ecflow_client, Client Server API
or ecflowview you need to know these information.
By setting the value of the environment variables ECF_NODE and ECF_PORT you
identify the server you wish to access. Multiple ecflow_server‘s can run on the same system.
