Hi all,

I am trying to use the pbs-drmaa library to let Galaxy "see" our cluster. We have PBS Pro, so I followed the instructions found here:

http://apps.man.poznan.pl/trac/pbs-drmaa

• I installed the library through:
  

./configure --with-pbs=$PBS_HOME --prefix=$HOME

make

make install

 

where PBS_HOME points to the local pbs installation folder (the one with bin, etc, lib folders and so on) and $HOME points to my user's home dir.

• I have set the DRMAA_LIBRARY_PATH env variable:

env | grep DRMAA_LIBRARY_PATH

DRMAA_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib/libdrmaa.so

Here is my job_conf.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<job_conf>

    <plugins>

        <plugin id="local" type="runner" load="galaxy.jobs.runners.local:LocalJobRunner"/>

        <plugin id="drmaa" type="runner" load="galaxy.jobs.runners.drmaa:DRMAAJobRunner"/>

    </plugins>

    <handlers>

        <handler id="main"/>

    </handlers>

    <destinations default="queue">

        <destination id="local" runner="local"/>

        <destination id="queue" runner="drmaa">

                <param id="nativeSpecification">-A cin_galaxy</param>

        </destination>

    </destinations>

</job_conf>

But when I use the nativeSpecification parameter (with -A account parameter), I receive the following error, with no further specification of what the error can be (it says "Illegal attribute or resource value" without saying which one triggered the error): 

galaxy.jobs.runners.drmaa DEBUG 2016-04-27 12:18:26,782 (15) native specification is: -A cin_galaxy

galaxy.jobs.runners.drmaa ERROR 2016-04-27 12:18:26,784 (15) drmaa.Session.runJob() failed unconditionally

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise _ERRORS[code - 1](error_string)

InvalidAttributeValueException: code 14: Illegal attribute or resource value: Illegal attribute or resource value

Can you please help me understanding the cause of the problem? Any help would be most appreciated!

Thank you very much!
