PP-1309 : Add support for project tag for reservations.

PP-1309 : Add support for project tag for reservations.

Oct 08, 2018



Purpose:

  • Project is a way to categorise jobs independently of users or groups.

  • Project can be a key for accounting resources consumed, by a project or reservation.

Characteristics:

  • Each reservation can belong to at most one project.

  • Jobs within the reservation will not automatically inherit the reservations project tag. The tag for jobs in the reservation has to be explicity requested using the -P option.

  • Projects are not tied to users or groups.

  • Type String. Can contain any characters except for the following: Slash ("/"), left bracket ("["), right bracket ("]"), double quote ("""), semicolon (";"), colon (":"), vertical bar ("|"), left angle bracket ("<"), right angle bracket (">"), plus ("+"), comma (","), question mark ("?"), and asterisk ("*").

  • Access to the attribute from server hooks.

  • Usage - pbs_rsub -P <project-name

Proposed Solution :

The proposed solution aims at making use of the already present project attribute in pbs_ifl and registering it to reservations by editing the reservation attribute XML. We then make changes accordingly to the reservation header file and add a link between the job and reservation project attribute. This attribute is available only to the server and is not a scheduler attribute.
