ARC Test Suite
Description
Usage
arctest [OPTION...]
The arctest command is used for testing clusters as resources.
Target endpoint selection
- -C, --computing-element=ce
computing element hostname or a complete endpoint URL
- -Y, --registry=registry
registry service URL with optional specification of protocol
- -T, --submission-endpoint-type=type
require the specified endpoint type for job submission.
Allowed values are: arcrest and internal.
- -Q, --info-endpoint-type=type
require information query using the specified information endpoint type.
Special value 'NONE' will disable all resource information queries and the following brokering. Allowed values are: ldap.nordugrid, ldap.glue2, arcrest and internal.
Brokering and filtering
- -R, --rejectdiscovery=URL
skip the service with the given URL during service discovery
- -b, --broker=broker
select broker method (list available brokers with --listplugins flag)
Behaviour tuning
- -o, --jobids-to-file=filename
the IDs of the submitted jobs will be appended to this file
- -n, --no-delegation
do not perform any delegation for submitted jobs
- -X, --x509-delegation
perform X.509 delegation for submitted jobs
- -K, --token-delegation
perform token delegation for submitted jobs
- --instances-max
request at most this number of job instances submitted in single submit request
- --instances-min
request at least this number of job instances submitted in single submit request
- --allowinsecureconnection
allow TLS connection which failed verification
- -j, --joblist=filename
the file storing information about active jobs (default /builddir/.arc/jobs.dat)
- --no-authentication
do not perform any authentication for opened connections
- --x509-authentication
perform X.509 authentication for opened connections
- --token-authentication
perform token authentication for opened connections
- --systemca
force using CA certificates configuration provided by OpenSSL
- --gridca
force using CA certificates configuration for Grid services (typically IGTF)
Other actions
- -J, --job=int
submit test job given by the number
- -r, --runtime=int
test job runtime specified by the number
- -D, --dryrun
submit jobs as dry run (no submission to batch system)
- -x, --dumpdescription
do not submit - dump job description in the language accepted by the target
- -E, --certificate
prints info about installed user- and CA-certificates
- -P, --listplugins
list the available plugins
Application Options
- -h, --help
Show help options
- -z, --conffile=filename
configuration file (default ~/.arc/client.conf)
- -t, --timeout=seconds
timeout in seconds (default 20)
- -d, --debug=debuglevel
FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, VERBOSE or DEBUG
- -v, --version
print version information
Extended Description
The arctest command is mainly used for basic testing of job submission to ARC CE using various pre-defined test jobs. It supports all target selection options available for arcsub and use the same brockering logic.
It can also print basic information about user's certificate. The command is complementary to arcinfo and arcproxy -I
The test jobs available in this version of arctest are:
Test job 1: This test-job calculates prime-numbers for a number of minutes given by -r (default 5) and outputs the list to stderr. The source-code for the prime-number program, the Makefile and the executable are downloaded to the cluster from HTTP and FTP servers and the program is compiled before running. In this way, the test job constitutes a fairly comprehensive test of the basic setup of a grid cluster.
Test job 2: attempts to list all environment variables at the remote site
Test job 3: copies a remote file from an HTTP server into a local file
Files
- ~/.arc/client.conf
Some options can be given default values by specifying them in the ARC client configuration file. By using the --conffile option a different configuration file can be used than the default.
- ~/.arc/jobs.dat
This a local database of the user's active jobs. When a job is successfully submitted it is added to database and when it is removed from the remote CE it is removed from this list. This database is used as the list of all active jobs when the user specifies the --all option to the various NorduGrid ARC user interface commands. By using the --joblist option a different file can be used than the default.
Examples
arctest -J 1 -C <computing element>
will submit test job number 1 to the specified CE.
