Sometime it is very useful to see task specific information in ecFlowview.
For this we can define a label. A label is a string that is attached to a task
and that can be updated using the child command ecf_client –label
# Definition of the suite test.

suite test

 edit ECF_INCLUDE "$HOME/course"

 edit ECF_HOME    "$HOME/course"

 family f1

     edit SLEEP 20

     task t1

         meter progress 1 100 90

     task t2

         trigger t1 eq complete

         event a

         event b

     task t3

         trigger t2:a

     task t4

         trigger t2 eq complete

         complete t2:b

     task t5

         trigger t1:progress ge 30

     task t6

         trigger t1:progress ge 60

     task t7

         trigger t1:progress ge 90

 endfamily

 family f2

     edit SLEEP 20

     task t1

         time 00:30 23:30 00:30

     task t2

         day  sunday

     task t3

         date 01.*.*

         time 12:00

     task t4

         time +00:02

     task t5

         time 00:02

 endfamily

 family f3

     task t1

         label info ""

 endfamily

endsuite

The following section shows how to add a ecflow.Label in python:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.5

import os

import ecflow 

 

def create_family_f3():

    f3 = ecflow.Family("f3")

    t1 = f3.add_task("t1")

    t1.add_label("info","");

    return f3

   

defs = ecflow.Defs("test.def")

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( create_family_f3() )    

We now need to edit the ecf script file $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)"

   ecf_client --label=info "$msg"  # Set the label

   sleep 60                        # Wait a one minute

   (( n = $n + 1 ))

done



ecf_client --label info "I have now finished my work."



%include <tail.h>

What to do:

  1. Modify the suite definition file or python script
  2. Edit the new ecf script
  3. Load the suite definition file and begin the suite
  4. Watch in ecFlowview
  • No labels
