Description Gene Soudlenkov 2014-12-08 10:38:18 MST

SLURM_JOB_ACCT is not propagated to the running environment. Can only be see in the job prolog and cannot be used inside a job. We have a preloaded library that requires account ID to function properly. Is there another way to get a current job account (-A)?

Comment 1 David Bigagli 2014-12-09 08:58:21 MST

Hi,
   are you referring to the variable SLURM_JOB_ACCOUNT? This one is currently only available in the slurmctld prolog/epilog. An option for now is to 
call the scontrol command to get the accounting the job is using.

We can consider this as an enhancement for the next release.

Thanks - it would be great to have it for a job.

Comment 3 David Bigagli 2014-12-19 04:50:43 MST

Fixed in commit 167d9ef2bc21c7. It will be released with 15.08.0pre2 version.

A note of caution. This patch requires protocol changes between slurmctld 
and the slurmd so we do not recommend you back port it to your version as it will
disrupt your cluster.

Thanks - we update versions during outages anyway so it won't be too much of a hassle

Cheers,
Gene

Ok. Please keep in mind that 15.08 is a development version not ready for production use. As we keep developing and releasing 15.08.pre there is absolutely no guarantee of backward compatibility until the final 15.08 release.
