Job Object

The Job object is an instance of the JobData class. It holds all information relevant to a given PanDA job. Below is a list of the data members of the JobData class along with explanations.

Data member	Type	Meaning
accessmode	String	Direct access instruction from jobparams. E.g. jobparams = '.. --accessmode=copy ..' gives accessmode = 'copy' (copy-to-scratch mode), or jobparams = '.. --accessmode=direct ..' gives accessmode = 'direct' (i.e. direct access mode). 'copy' is the default value. accessmode = 'direct' is also set if 'storage_token') != 'local' and (transfertype is 'direct' or job is a user analysis job)
actualcorecount	Integer	Number of cores actually used by the payload
allownooutput	String	Used to disregard empty files from job report. If this is an empty string, do nothing - it set, output files will be removed if they are present in allownooutput and do not exist
alrbuserplatform	String	ALRB_USER_PLATFORM encoded in the platform/cmtconfig value ('@' is used as separator). If set, the value will be used with 'export thePlatform=..' in the ALRB (container) setup
attemptnr	Integer	Job attempt number. The pilot does not use this number by itself; it is included in the job definition and is uploaded with each server communication
command	String	The full payload command
containeroptions	Dictionary	A dictionary from the job definition that can be used in the container setup. In the ATLAS code, the following fields are used: containerImage (export value for thePlatform), containerExec (..) and execArgs (..)
coprocess	Dictionary
corecount	Integer
corecounts	List
cpuconsumptionunit	String
cpuconsumptiontime	Integer
cpuconversionfactor	Integer
currentsize	Integer	The current size of the job object
datasetin	String
dbdata
dbtime
debug	Boolean	True in the case the pilot receives a debug command from the server via the backchannel
debug_command	String	Debug command sent from the server in debug mode. Pilot accepts several different commands

jobparams	String	Job parameters defining the payload execution (options to the payload command)
jobsetid	String
logdata	List
looping_check	Boolean	If set to True in job definition, the Pilot will perform the looping job check using an internally set time-out limit (see default.cfg)

taskid	String	Unique Task identifier, corresponding to the task that this job belongs to. If not set by the server, the value in the job definition dictionary will be 'NULL'. Otherwise numeric, e.g. tasked = '24342519'
