To control the thin client Simulation Job Manager

The thin client Simulation Job Manager is not started, automatically, upon installation.

Start

To start the Simulation Job Manager enter this command at a terminal prompt:

$ <your install location>/autodesk-dssp-20YY-thinclient-XXX/bin/dssp_jobserver

The program starts as a background process, and control of the terminal is returned to you, immediately.

Stop

To stop the Simulation Job Manager, directly kill the process running in the background.

Note: Do not stop the job manager while analyses are running.
Configuration options

The Simulation Job Manager configuration options are located in the file:

<your install location>/autodesk-dssp-20YY-thinclient-XXX/bin/dsspjobclient.config

Logs

The job manager logs its status, errors and warnings to a file located in this folder on each node:

/var/tmp/sjmlog-<username>/

where <username> is the username of the person starting the dssp_jobserver.

Storage folder

The job manager maintains its database and temporary working space in the following location for each node on which it is running:

/var/tmp/sjmTemp-<username>/

where <username> is the username of the person starting the dssp_jobserver.

Change this location by setting the environment variable UJM_JOB_SERVER_STORAGE_PATH to a different location prior to starting the job manager. We recommend that you set a minimum mode of 0755 on any folder used for this purpose.

Installed products

The Simulation Job Manager detects which products are available to it with addin files placed in the folder:

<your install location>/autodesk-dssp-20YY-thinclient-XXX/plugin

You can edit the addin files so that the path names match the location of the installed executables they refer to.
