In the previous exercise we saw that the two tasks were running simultaneously.
We would like now to make sure that t2 only runs once t1 is complete.
For this we have to define a trigger

...

Text

Code Block
languagebash
# Definition of the suite test.
suite test
   edit ECF_INCLUDE "$HOME/course"   # replace '$HOME' with the path to your home directory
   edit ECF_HOME    "$HOME/course"
   family f1
     edit SLEEP 20
     task t1
     task t2
         trigger t1 eq complete
   endfamily
endsuite

 

Python

Code Block
languagepy
title$HOME/course/test.py
#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
import os
from ecflow import Defs,Suite,Family,Task,Edit

def create_family_f1():
    return Family("f1",
                Edit(SLEEP=20),
                Task("t1"),
                Task("t2",Trigger("t1 == complete")))
             
print("Creating suite definition")
home = os.path.join(os.getenv("HOME"), "course")
defs = Defs( 
        Suite("test",
            Edit(ECF_INCLUDE=home,ECF_HOME=home),
            create_family_f1()))
print(defs) 

print("Checking job creation: .ecf -> .job0")  
#print(defs.check_job_creation())

print("Saving definition to file 'test.def'")
defs.save_as_defs("test.def")



#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
import os
import ecflow

def create_family_f1():
    f1 = ecflow.Family("f1" )
    f1.add_variable("SLEEP", 20)
    f1.add_task("t1")
    f1.add_task("t2").add_trigger("t1 == complete")
    return f1

print "Creating suite definition"
defs = ecflow.Defs()
suite = defs.add_suite("test")
suite.add_variable("ECF_INCLUDE", os.path.join(os.getenv("HOME"), "course"))
suite.add_variable("ECF_HOME",    os.path.join(os.getenv("HOME"), "course"))

suite.add_family( create_family_f1() )
print defs

print "Checking job creation: .ecf -> .job0"   
print defs.check_job_creation()

print "Checking trigger expressions"
print defs.check()

print "Saving definition to file 'test.def'"
defs.save_as_defs("test.def")

What to do

  1. Edit the suite definition file to add the trigger.
  2. Replace the suite
    python:   python test.py ;  python client.py
    text:        ecflow_client --suspend=/test ; ecflow_client --replace=/test  test.def
  3. Observe the tasks in ecflow_ui .
  4. See the triggers by selecting t1 or t2.
  5. See the trigger relation by clicking on the trigger tab.
  6. Search any reference to t1 by using the search menu.
