Getting started

Assuming you have successfully installed UCC, this section shows how to get going quickly.

Getting help

Calling UCC with the "-h" option will show the available options. To get a list of available commands, type

ucc -h

To get help on a specific command, type

ucc <command> -h

See also here for a list of common options.

Connecting

First, contact UNICORE and make sure you have access to some target systems.

ucc connect [options]

List available sites

Then, list the sites available to you using

ucc list-sites [options]

Running your first job

The UCC distribution contains samples that you can run. Let's run the "date" sample. The "-v" switch prints more info so you can see what's going on.

ucc run [options] -v $UCC_HOME/samples/date.u

This will run "date" on a randomly chosen site, and retrieve the output. To run on a particular site, use the "-s" option to specify a particular target system.

Listing your jobs

ucc list-jobs [options]

will print a list of jobs (actually their addresses) with their respective status (RUNNING, SUCCESSFUL, etc)
