Scheduler

Usage

This service manages the reservations for access to the resources. Authenticated users are allowed to make reservations to use experiment resources. This service presents the display by which they make such reservations, and handles schedule conflict resolution. It is queried by the login, and account management services to determine if a user can use the service they are attempting to use.

Installation and Configuration

The Scheduler service is packaged in the omf-aggmgr-scheduler-5.4 package. It can be installed form the package repository with

apt-get install omf-aggmgr-scheduler-5.4

Instructions on how to add the Orbit software repository to your list of apt-sources can be found ​here.

Configuration file is in /etc/omf-aggmgr-5.4/available/scheduler.yaml: Configuration parameters:

• :database: - section for database configuration parameters

  2. approveSeparatly: (true/false): Calculate time spend on each domain separately (only for domains listed in listOfDomains)
  3. listOfDomains: (array): Array of domains for which utilization is accumulated seprately (time experimenters reserve in all other domains is accumulated jointly)

  1. sender: (string): sender email address
  2. sender_name (string): sender name
