Sometime it is very useful to see task specific information in ecflowview.
and that can be updated using the child command ecflow_client –label
Ecf Script¶
Add/edit the ecf script file for $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:
#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
import os
import ecflow
print "Creating suite definition"
defs = ecflow.Defs()
suite = defs.add_suite("test")
suite.add_variable("ECF_INCLUDE", os.getenv("HOME") + "/course")
suite.add_variable("ECF_HOME", os.getenv("HOME") + "/course")
suite.add_family("f3").add_task("t1").add_label("info","")
print "Checking job creation: .ecf -> .job0"
print defs.check_job_creation()
print "Saving definition to file 'test.def'"
defs.save_as_defs("test.def")
What to do:
- Modify the suite definition file or python script
- Edit the new ecf script
- Load the suite definition file and begin the suite
- Watch in ecflowview
