1.   What's new

A new parameter JS_CREATE_WORKING_DIR is introduced in js.conf to control whether Process Manager automatically creates the work directory for a work item.

Parameter reference:

Parameter Name

JS_CREATE_WORKING_DIR

Configuration File

$JS_ENVDIR/js.conf

Syntax

JS_CREATE_WORKING_DIR=true|false

Description

Controls whether Process Manager automatically creates the work directory for a work item. This is useful in cases in which Process Manager does not have access to local directories on compute hosts.


When JS_CREATE_WORKING_DIR=true(default value), if a work directory is specified for a work item in its definition, Process Manager creates the specified directory if it does not exist.


When JS_CREATE_WORKING_DIR=false, if a work directory is specified for a work item in its definition, Process Manager assumes the directory already exists in the specified location. Ensure the directory exists or the work item will fail.

Default

JS_CREATE_WORKING_DIR=true
