How can I pass JDL atttributes that have no equivalent in SAGA specification ?
There are several alternatives for doing that:
  • Default JDL attributes can be added in a file, by adding path to this file as the value of attribute "DefaultJdlFile" in etc/jsaga-default-contexts.xml configuration file.
  • Default JDL attributes can be put directly into the etc/jsaga-default-contexts.xml configuration file (see example).
  • In addition to default JDL requirements, user-defined requirements can be added at run-time by setting the non-standard attribute "JDLRequirements" in your job description. Example usage :
    description.setVectorAttribute("Extension", new String[]{"JDLRequirements=(other.GlueHostOperatingSystemRelease>=5.0)"});

But on some cases, the WN is not available so the array returned by
job.getVectorAttribute(Job.EXECUTIONHOSTS)
