On Quarry at IU, how do I submit a SAS batch job?
To submit a SAS batch job on the
Quarry cluster at Indiana University, create your SAS file
(e.g., mysas.sas), and then write a script file (e.g.,
mysas.script) for TORQUE (also called PBS),
the resource manager on Quarry, as follows:
Note: You need to change the directory in the
script (e.g., cd /N/u/username/Quarry/new) and
mysas.sas (e.g., '~/new/') files if you are
not working in the default directory (e.g.,
/N/u/username/Quarry).
To submit the script file to TORQUE, enter:
$qsub mysas.script The default queue is the long queue. For more on queues
and how to specify them, see What is TORQUE/PBS?
To check the status of your job, use either the qstat or
showq command. After the job is executed, you will
receive email confirmation.
You may see a log file (mysas.log) and an output file
(mysas.lis) in the default directory.
