HP SVA V2.0 System Administration Guide

1.1.3.3 Job Settings File
Job data is defined at job allocation time from options specified to the job script, and from data
access calls embedded in the script. The calls draw data from the Site and User Configuration
Files. The Job Settings File is located in /hptc_cluster/sva/job/<id>.conf. The <id> in
the name of the file is the SLURM Job ID.
The Job Settings File has a lifespan equal to that of the job. When the application uses the
svaPutData call, values are set in this file. It can be used to communicate options to job
components. Refer to the SVA Visualization System Software Reference Guide for the syntax of this
call.
The content of the Job Settings File varies from job to job. Tag definitions are in Table 1-6 and
Table 1-7. An example file contains the following sections and tags:
# Declare job resource counts
[SVA_JOB]
SVA_DISPLAY_SURFACE=surface_name
SVA_EXECUTION_HOST=host_name
SVA_EXTERNAL_HOST=FQDN
SVA_RENDER_COUNT=n
SVA_RENDER_HOSTS=host_names
SVA_COMPUTE_COUNT=n
SVA_COMPUTE_HOSTS=host_names
SVA_DISPLAY_COUNT=n
SVA_DISPLAY_HOSTS=host_names
SVA_USE_REMOTE3D=boolean
SVA_USE_DMX=boolean
SVA_DMX_STARTUP=host_name
SVA_DMX_INPUT=host_name
SVA_PARTITION=partition_name
# Declare job-specific information
