Known considerations for DoE, Runner Balance, and Optimization analyses

To run Design of Experiments (DoE), Runner Balance or Optimization analyses from runstudy or via the command line on linux, the dssp_jobserver process must have permissions to act on the study, and on the directory that contains the study. In general, the permissions required for the study file and the current directory are read+write+execute.

Permissions are also required for the parent directories. For the parent directories, only execute permissions are necessary.

Warning: If the dssp_jobserver does not have access permission, it cannot launch the child jobs necessary for these analyses, and the analyses will fail.

For workstation installation, the dssp_jobserver daemon runs as the "dssp" user, which does not have elevated privileges by default. For thin client installations, the dssp_jobserver runs as the user who started it. In both these cases, please ensure the dssp_jobserver has the required permissions when running DoE, Runner Balance or Optimization from the command line.
