and that can be updated using the child command ecflow_client –label
Ecf Script
We will create new family f3 with a task t1.
Create ecf script $HOME/course/test/f3/t1.ecf
$HOME/course/test/f3/t1.ecf
%include <head.h> n=1 while [[ $n -le 5 ]] # Loop 5 times do msg="The date is now $(date)" ecflow_client --label=info "$msg" # Set the label sleep 60 # Wait a one minute (( n = $n + 1 )) done ecflow_client --label=info "I have now finished my work." %include <tail.h>
Text
# Definition of the suite test. Note Family f1,f2 from previous pages are omitted
suite test
edit ECF_INCLUDE "$HOME/course"
edit ECF_HOME "$HOME/course"
family f3
task t1
label info ""
endfamily
endsuite
Python
The following section shows how to add a ecflow.Label in python: ( Note: families f1 and f2 are omitted for brevity)
$HOME/course/test.py
#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
import os
from ecflow import Defs,Suite,Family,Task,Edit,Trigger,Complete,Event,Meter,Time,Day,Date,Label
def create_family_f3():
return Family("f3",
Task("t1",
Label("info","")))
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_f3()))
print(defs)
print("Checking job creation: .ecf -> .job0")
print(defs.check_job_creation())
print("Checking trigger expressions")
assert len(defs.check()) == 0, defs.check()
print("Saving definition to file 'test.def'")
defs.save_as_defs("test.def")
What to do
- Modify the suite definition file or python script
- Create the new ecf script file $HOME/course/test/f3/t1.ecf
- Replace the suite definition
- Watch in ecflow_ui
