GotCloud: Configuration
From Genome Analysis Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchThe GotCloud configuration file contains the run-time options, including software binaries and command line arguments. A default configuration file is automatically loaded. Users may specify their own configuration file specifying just the values different than the defaults. The configuration file is not required if there are no values to override.
- Default GotCloud configuration file is
gotcloud/bin/gotcloudDefaults.conf
- Comments begin with a
#
- Format:
KEY = value
- where
KEY
is the item being set andvalue
is its new value
- where
- Some settings can be defined both in the configuration file and on the GotCloud command-line
- command-line options take priority over configuration file settings
- A KEY can be used in another KEY's value by specifying $(KEY)
- Example:
KEY1 = value1
KEY2 = $(KEY1)/value2
- When
KEY2
is used, it will be equal to:value1/value2
- Example:
Output Directory
- The output directory is required for running GotCloud, so GotCloud knows where to write its output
Configuration Key | Command-line Flag | Value Description | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
OUT_DIR | --outdir | output directory |
Reference/Resource Files
- See GotCloud: Genetic Reference and Resource Files for reference/resource file configuration settings
Cluster Configuration
Regardless of the type of cluster system used, GotCloud will wait for each job to complete after launching it.
- For any BATCH_TYPEs that run in batch mode, GotCloud generates a script that will wait until the step is complete before returning
- In a sense, it "fakes" interactive mode for all batch types since it will not proceed until a command is finished
- If you are at UM and are using flux, you can specify either
flux
orpbs
