I'm running a test Galaxy system on a cluster (merged galaxy-dist on Janurary 4th). And I've noticed some odd behavior from the DRMAA job runner. I'm running a multithread system, one web server, one job_manager, and
Hello, Can you please post the link to this patch? I do not see it in the mail thread and I too have noticed some issues with the DRMAA job running since updating to the Oct. 23rd distribution. I don't know if it is related yet but I'd like to try the patch to see. I have two local instances of Galaxy (prod and dev). On my dev instance (which is fully up to date), when I run the same job multiple times, sometimes it finishes and sometimes it dies, this is independent of which node it runs on. My prod instance is still at the Oct. 03 distribution and does not experience this problem. So I am afraid to update our production instance.

The scheduling problem seems to have gone away. Although I'm still getting back 'Job output not returned from cluster' for errors. This seems odd, as the system previously would output stderr correctly.

DRMAA is the default job runner (the command for tophat2 is drmaa://-V -l mem_total=7G -pe smp 2/), with SGE 6.2u5 being the engine underneath.
My test involves trying to run three different Tophat2 jobs. The first
two seem to start up (and get put on the SGE queue), but the third stays grey, with the job manager listing it in state 'new' with command line 'None'. It doesn't seem to leave this state. Both of the jobs that actually got onto the queue die (reasons unknown, but much to early, probably some tophat/bowtie problem), but one job is listed in error state with stderr as 'Job output not returned from cluster', while the other job (which is no longer in the SGE queue) is still listed as running. Hi Kyle, It sounds like there are bunch of issues here. Do you have any limits set as to the number of concurrent jobs allowed? If not, you may need to add a bit of debugging information to the manager or handler code to figure out why the 'new' job is not being dispatched for execution. For the 'error' job, more information about output collection should be available from the Galaxy server log. If you have general SGE problems this may not be Galaxy's fault. You do need to make sure that the stdout/stderr files are able to be properly copied back to the Galaxy server upon job completion. For the 'running' job, make sure you've got 'set_metadata_externally = True' in your Galaxy config. --nate
Any ideas?
