Thank you very much, Nate, 1. I have put a fix : a loop running the JobStatus check 5 times every 60 secs and only then throwing an exception as the one below. It happened that all connect failures happen at the same time - at slurm log rotation time at 3 am. Hopefully it helps :) 2. Our slurm conf keeps the info about each job for 5 min. But looking at the code, it seems that in in the case you describe below, there will be an "Invalid job exception" leading to "Job finished" state. Am I wrong? Anyway, I'll let you know if the loop does the job. Thanks again, Nikolay On 2013-11-04 15:57, Nate Coraor wrote:

Hi Nikolay,

With slurm, the following change that I backed out should fix the problem:

https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/diff/lib/galaxy/jobs/runners/drmaa.py?diff2=d46b64f12c52&at=default

Although I do believe that if Galaxy doesn't read the completion state before slurm "forgets" about the job (MinJobAge in slurm.conf), this change could result in the job becoming permanently stuck in the running state.

I should have some enhancements to the DRMAA runner for slurm coming soon that would prevent this.

Hi,

I discovered a weird issue in the job behaviour : Galaxy is running a long job on a cluster (more than 24h), about 15 hours later it misses the connection with SLURM on the cluster and throws the following message :

[root@galaxy-prod01 galaxy-dist]# grep 3715200 paster.log galaxy.jobs.runners.drmaa INFO 2013-10-30 10:51:54,149 (555) queued as 3715200 galaxy.jobs.runners.drmaa DEBUG 2013-10-30 10:51:55,149 (555/3715200) state change: job is queued and active galaxy.jobs.runners.drmaa DEBUG 2013-10-30 10:52:13,516 (555/3715200) state change: job is running galaxy.jobs.runners.drmaa INFO 2013-10-31 03:29:33,090 (555/3715200) job left DRM queue with following message: code 1: slurm_load_jobs error: Unable to contact slurm controller (connect failure),job_id: 3715200

Is there a timeout in Galaxy for contacting slurm? Yet, the job is still running properly on the cluster ...

Thanks for help, it's really urgent :)

Nikolay
