       sge_types - Sun Grid Engine type descriptions

DESCRIPTION

       The  Sun  Grid  Engine  user interface consists of several programs and
       files. Some command-line  switches  and  several  file  attributes  are
       types. The syntax for these types is explained in this page.

OBJECT TYPES

       These types are used for defining Sun Grid Engine configuration:

   calendar_name
       A  calendar name is the name of a Sun Grid Engine calendar described in
       calendar_conf(5).

       calendar_name := object_name

   ckpt_name
       A "ckpt_name" is the name of a Sun Grid Engine checkpointing  interface
       described in checkpoint(5).

       ckpt_name := object_name

   complex_name
       A  complex  name  is  the  name of a Sun Grid Engine resource attribute
       described in complex(5).

       complex_name := object_name

   host_identifier
       A host identifier can be either a host name or a host group name.

       host_identifier := host_name | hostgroup_name

   hostgroup_name
       A host group name is the name of a Sun Grid Engine host group described
       in  hostgroup(5).   Note,  to allow host group names easily be differed
       from host names a "@" prefix is used.

       hostgroup_name := @object_name

   host_name
       A host name is the official name of a host  node.  Host  names  with  a
       domain  specification  such  as  "gridmaster.sun.com" are called fully-
       qualified host names, whereas host names like "gridmaster"  are  called
       short   host  names.  Note,  there  are  the  install  time  parameters
       default_domain and ignore_fqdn (see bootstrap(5)) which affect how  Sun
       Grid Engine deals with host names in general.

   jsv_url
       The jsv_url has following format:

       jsv_url := jsv_client_url | jsv_server_url

       jsv_server_url := [ type ':' ] [ user '@' ] path

       jsv_client_url := [ type ':' ] path

       type := 'script'

       In  the moment only the type script is allowed. This means that path is
       either the path to a script or to a binary application  which  will  be
       used  to  instantiate  a  JSV  process. The type is optional till other
       types are supported by Sun Grid Engine.

       Specifying a user is only allowed for server JSV's. Client  JSV's  will
       automatically  be started as submit user and server JSV's as admin user
       if not other specified.

       The path has always to be the absolute path to a binary or application.

   memory_specifier
       Memory  specifiers  are  positive decimal, hexadecimal or octal integer
       constants  which  may  be   followed  by  a  multiplier  letter.  Valid
       multiplier  letters  are  k,  K,  m,  M,   g   and   G, where  k  means
       multiply  the  value by  1000,  K  multiply  by  1024,  m  multiply  by
       1000*1000, M multiply  by  1024*1024,  g multiply by 1000*1000*1000 and
       G multiply by 1024*1024*1024.  If no multiplier is present,  the  value
       is  just  counted  in bytes.

   pe_name
       A  "pe_name"  is  the  name  of  a Sun Grid Engine parallel environment
       described in sge_pe(5).

       pe_name := object_name

   project_name
       A project name is the name of a Sun Grid Engine  project  described  in
       project(5).

       project_name := object_name

   queue_name
       A  queue  name  is  the  name  of  a Sun Grid Engine queue described in
       queue_conf(5).

       queue_name  := object_name

   time_specifier
       A time specifier either consists of a positive decimal, hexadecimal  or
       octal integer constant, in which case the value is interpreted to be in
       seconds, or is built by 3 decimal integer numbers  separated  by  colon
       signs  where  the first number counts the hours, the second the minutes
       and the third the seconds. If a number would be zero it can be left out
       but  the  separating colon must remain (e.g. 1:0:1 = 1::1 means 1 hours
       and 1 second).

   user_name
       A user name can be the name of a login(1)  user  or  of  the  Sun  Grid
       Engine user object described in user(5).

       user_name := object_name

   userset_name
       A  user  set  name  is  the  name  of an Sun Grid Engine access list or
       department described in access_list(5).

       userset_name := object_name

   object_name
       An object name is a sequence of  up  to  512  ASCII  string  characters
       except  "\n",  "\t", "\r", " ", "/", ":", "'", "\", "[", "]", "{", "}",
       "|", "(", ")", "@", "%", "," or the " character itself.

MATCHING TYPES

       These types are used for matching Sun Grid Engine configuration:

   expression
       A wildcard expression is a regular boolean expression that consists  of
       one  or  more  patterns  joined  by boolean operators.  When a wildcard
       expression is used, the following definition applies:

       expression= ["!"] ["("] valExp [")"] [ AND_OR expression ]*
       valExp  = pattern | expression
       AND_OR  = "&" | "|"

       where:

       "!"       not operator -- negate the following pattern or expression
       "&"       and operator -- logically and with the following expression
       "|"       or operator -- logically or with the following expression
       "("       open bracket -- begin an inner expression.
       ")"       close bracket -- end an inner expression.
       "pattern" see the pattern definition that's follow

       The expression itself should be put inside quotes ('"') to ensure  that
       clients receive the complete expression.

       e.g.
              "(lx*|sol*)&*64*" any string beginning with either "lx" or
                                "sol" and containing "64"
              "rh_3*&!rh_3.1"   any string beginning with "rh_3", except
                                "rh_3.1"

   pattern
       When patterns are used the following definitions apply:

       "*"     matches any character and any number of characters
               (between 0 and inv).
       "?"     matches any character. It cannot be no character
       "."     is the character ".". It has no other meaning
       "\"     escape character. "\\" = "\", "\*" = "*", "\?" = "?"
       "[...]" specifies an array or a range of allowed
               characters for one character at a specific position.
               Character ranges may be specified using the a-z notation.
               The caret symbol (^) is not interpreted as a logical
               not; it is interpreted literally.

       For more details please see
       fnmatch(5)

       The  pattern  itself  should  be put inside quotes ('"') to ensure that
       clients receive the complete pattern.

   range
       The task range specifier has the form

       n[-m[:s]][,n[-m[:s]], ...]  or n[-m[:s]][ n[-m[:s]] ...]

       and thus  consists  of  a  comma  or  blank  separated  list  of  range
       specifiers  n[-m[:s]]. The ranges are concatenated to the complete task
       id range. Each range may be a single number, a simple range of the form
       n-m or a range with a step size.

   wc_ar
       The  wildcard  advance  reservation (AR) specification is a placeholder
       for AR ids, AR names including  AR  name  patterns.  An  AR  id  always
       references  one AR, while the name and pattern might reference multiple
       ARs.

       wc_ar := ar_id | ar_name | pattern

   wc_ar_list
       The wildcard advance reservation  (AR)  list  specification  allows  to
       reference multiple ARs with one command.

       wc_ar_list := wc_ar [ , wc_ar , ...]

   wc_host
       A  wildcard host specification (wc_host) is a wildcard expression which
       might match one or more hosts used in the cluster.  The first character
       of  that  string  never  begins with an at-character ('@'), even if the
       expression begins with a wildcard character.

       e.g.
              *            all hosts
              a*           all host beginning with an 'a'

   wc_hostgroup
       A  wildcard  hostgroup  specification  (wc_hostgroup)  is  a   wildcard
       expression  which  might  match  one  or  more  hostgroups.   The first
       character of that string is always an at-character ('@').

       More information concerning hostgroups can be found in hostgroup(5)

       e.g.
              @*           all hostgroups in the cluster
              @solaris     the @solaris hostgroup

   wc_job
       The wildcard job specification is a placeholder for job ids, job  names
       including  job name patterns. A job id always references one job, while
       the name and pattern might reference multiple jobs.

       wc_job := job-id | job-name | pattern

   wc_job_range
       The wildcard job range specification allows to reference specific array
       tasks for one or multiple jobs. The job is referenced via wc_job and in
       addition gets a range specifier for the array tasks.

       wc_job_range := wc_job [ -t range]

   wc_job_list
       The wildcard job list specification allows to reference  multiple  jobs
       with one command.

       wc_job_list := wc_job [ , wc_job , ...]

   wc_job_range_list
       The  wildcard job range list (wc_job_range_list) is specified by one of
       the following forms:

           wc_job[ -t range][{, }wc_job[ -t range]{, }...]

       If present, the task_range restricts the effect of the  qmod  operation
       to  the array job task range specified as suffix to the job id (see the
       -t option to qsub(1) for further details on array jobs).

   wc_qdomain
       wc_qdomain := wc_cqueue "@" wc_hostgroup

       A wildcard expression queue domain  specification  (wc_qdomain)  starts
       with  a  wildcard expression cluster queue name (wc_cqueue) followed by
       an at-character '@' and a wildcard expression  hostgroup  specification
       (wc_hostgroup).

       wc_qdomain  are  used to address a group of queue instances.  All queue
       instances residing on a hosts which is part of matching hostgroups will
       be  addressed. Please note, that wc_hostgroup always begins with an at-
       character.

       e.g.
              *@@*         all queue instances whose underlying
                           host is part of at least one hostgroup
              a*@@e*       all queue instances begins with a whose underlying
                           host is part of at least one hostgroup begin with e
              *@@solaris   all queue instances on hosts part of
                           the @solaris hostgroup

   wc_cqueue
       A wildcard expression cluster  queue  specification  (wc_cqueue)  is  a
       wildcard  expression  which might match one or more cluster queues used
       in the cluster.  That string never contains an at-character ('@'), even
       if the expression begins with a wildcard character.

       e.g.
              *            all cluster queues
              a*           all cluster queues beginning with an 'a'
              a*&!adam     all cluster queues beginning with an 'a',but not adam

   wc_qinstance
       wc_qinstance := wc_cqueue "@" wc_host

       A  wildcard  expression  queue  instance  specification  (wc_qinstance)
       starts with  a  wildcard  expression  cluster  queue  name  (wc_cqueue)
       followed  by  an  at-character  '@'  and a wildcard expression hostname
       (wc_host).

       wc_qinstance expressions are used to address a group of queue instances
       whose  underlying  hostname  matches the given expression.  Please note
       that the first character of wc_host does never match  the  at-character
       '@'.

       e.g.
              *@*          all queue instances in the cluster
              *@b*         all queue instances whose
                           hostname begins with a 'b'
              *@b*|c*      all queue instances whose
                           hostname begins with a 'b' or 'c'

   wc_queue
       wc_queue := wc_cqueue | wc_qdomain | wc_qinstance

       A  wildcard  queue  expression  (wc_queue)  might  either be a wildcard
       expression  cluster  queue  specification  (wc_cqueue)  or  a  wildcard
       expression  queue  domain  specification  (wc_qdomain)  or  a  wildcard
       expression queue instance specification (wc_qinstance).

       e.g.
              big_*1           cluster queues which begin with
                               "big_" and end with "1"
              big_*&!*1        cluster queues which begin with
                               "big_" ,but does not end with "1"
              *@fangorn        all qinstances residing on host
                               fangorn

   wc_queue_list
       wc_queue_list := wc_queue ["," wc_queue "," ...]

       Comma separated list of wc_queue elements.

       e.g.
              big, medium_*@@sol*, *@fangorn.sun.com

   wc_user
       A  wildcard  user  name  pattern  is  either  a  wildcard   user   name
       specification or a full user name.

       wc_user := user_name | pattern

   wc_user_list
       A list of user names.

       wc_user_list := wc_user [ , wc_user , ...]

   wc_project
       A  wildcard  project  name  pattern  is  either a wildcard project name
       specification or a full project name.

       wc_project := project | pattern

   wc_pe_name
       A wildcard parallel environment name pattern is either  a  wildcard  pe
       name specification or a full pe name.

       wc_pe_name := pe_name | pattern

   parallel_env n[-[m]]|[-]m,...
       Parallel  programming  environment  (PE) to select for an AR. The range
       descriptor  behind  the  PE  name  specifies  the  number  of  parallel
       processes  to  be  run.  Sun  Grid Engine will allocate the appropriate
       resources as available. The sge_pe(5) manual page contains  information
       about the definition of PEs and about how to obtain a list of currently
       valid PEs.

       You can specify a PE name which uses the wildcard character, "*".  Thus
       the  request  "pvm*"  will  match  any parallel environment with a name
       starting with the string  "pvm".  In  the  case  of  multiple  parallel
       environments   whose   names   match  the  name  string,  the  parallel
       environment with the most available slots is chosen.

       The range specification is a list of range expressions of the form  "n-
       m",  where  n  and  m are positive, non-zero integers.  The form "n" is
       equivalent to "n-n".  The form "-m" is equivalent to "1-m".   The  form
       "n-"  is  equivalent  to  "n-infinity".   The  range  specification  is
       processed as follows: The largest number of queues requested is checked
       first.  If  enough  queues  meeting  the  specified  attribute list are
       available, all are reserved. If not, the next smaller number of  queues
       is checked, and so forth.

   date_time
       The date_time value must conform to [[CC]]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS], where:

       e.g.
              CC           denotes the century in 2 digits.
              YY           denotes the year in 2 digits.
              MM           denotes the month in 2 digits.
              DD           denotes the day in 2 digits.
              hh           denotes the hour in 2 digits.
              mm           denotes the minute in 2 digits.
              ss           denotes the seconds in 2 digits (default 00).

   time
       The time value must conform to hh:mm:ss, or seconds where:

       e.g.
              hh denotes the hour in 2 digits.
              mm denotes the minute in 2 digits.
              ss denotes the seconds in 2 digits (default 00).
              seconds  is a number of seconds (is used for duration values)

              If   any   of   the   optional  date  fields  are  omitted,  the
              corresponding value of the current date is assumed. If CC is not
              specified, a YY of < 70 means 20YY.
              Use of this option may cause unexpected results if the clocks of
              the hosts in the Sun Grid Engine pool are out of sync. Also, the
              proper  behavior of this option very much depends on the correct
              setting of the appropriate timezone, e.g. in the TZ  environment
              variable  (see  date(1)  for  details), when the Sun Grid Engine
              daemons sge_qmaster(8) and sge_execd(8) are invoked.

   name
       The name may be any arbitrary alphanumeric ASCII string,  but  may  not
       contain  "\n", "\t", "\r", "/", ":", "@", "\", "*",  or "?".
