Re: [galaxy-dev] galaxy-dev Digest, Vol 61, Issue 10 - Handling runner-specific (SLURM) DRMAA settings (Roman Valls)

The general config file allows us to set a fixed project:

default_cluster_job_runner = drmaa://-A a2010002 -p core

And even set per-tool job settings. But we would like each user to have the ability to change those settings.

What is the least intrusive way to set per-user native (site-specific) job manager settings ?

you may try to use an user's local DRMAA configuration file:

~/.slurm_drmaa.conf

". If multiple configuration sources are present then all configurations are merged with values from user-defined files taking precedence (in following order: $SLURM_DRMAA_CONF, ~/.slurm_drmaa.conf, /etc/slurm_drmaa.conf)"

there you can put any user's specific settings, e.g.:

job_categories: { default: "-A a2010002 -p core", }

Cheers,
