This process can be checked BEFORE loading the suite to the server, by using the python API. Since this API is used for checking, the jobs are all generated with the extension '.job0'. The following example checks job generation for all tasks.

defs = ecflow.Defs('my.def') # load file 'my.def' into memory, not needed if the defs was created in python
msg = defs.check_job_creation() # job files generated to ECF_JOB
print msg # report any errors in job generation |
For brevity, the following examples do not show how the 'defs' object was created. This can be read in from disk as shown above or created directly in python.

job_ctrl = ecflow.JobGenCtrl()
job_ctrl.set_node_path('/suite/to_check') # hierarchical job generation under /suite/to_check
defs.check_job_generation(job_ctrl) # do the check
print job_ctrl.get_error_msg() # report any errors in job generation |
This example shows the checking of job generation for all tasks, but where the jobs are generated to a user-specified directory. i.e. '/tmp/ECF_NAME.job0
