Instead of being a boolean value (on/off), it can take a range of integer values.
Other tasks are then triggered when the meter reaches a certain value.
Ecf Script
We will create new tasks (t5, t6, and t7) that will be triggered
when the meter in task t1 reaches certain values.
To notify ecflow_server, the task ( t1 in the example below) must call
the ecflow_client –meter. This is also one of the child command‘s.
$HOME/course/f1/t1.ecf
%include <head.h> echo "I will now sleep for %SLEEP% seconds" sleep %SLEEP% n=1 while [[ $n -le 100 ]] # Loop 100 times do sleep 1 # Wait a short time ecflow_client --meter=progress $n # Notify ecFlow (( n = $n + 1 )) done %include <tail.h>
Text
# Definition of the suite test. suite test edit ECF_INCLUDE "$HOME/course" # replace '$HOME' with the path to your home directory edit ECF_HOME "$HOME/course" family f1 edit SLEEP 20 task t1 meter progress 1 100 90 task t2 trigger t1 eq complete event a event b task t3 trigger t2:a task t4 trigger t2 eq complete complete t2:b task t5 trigger t1:progress ge 30 task t6 trigger t1:progress ge 60 task t7 trigger t1:progress ge 90 endfamily endsuite
Python
$HOME/course/test.py
import os from ecflow import Defs,Suite,Family,Task,Edit,Trigger,Complete,Event,Meter def create_family_f1(): return Family("f1", Edit(SLEEP=20), Task("t1", Meter("progress", 1, 100, 90)), Task("t2", Trigger("t1 == complete"), Event("a"), Event("b")), Task("t3", Trigger("t2:a")), Task("t4", Trigger("t2 == complete"), Complete("t2:b")), Task("t5", Trigger("t1:progress ge 30")), Task("t6", Trigger("t1:progress ge 60")), Task("t7", Trigger("t1:progress ge 90"))) print("Creating suite definition") home = os.path.join(os.getenv("HOME"), "course") defs = Defs( Suite("test", Edit(ECF_INCLUDE=home,ECF_HOME=home), create_family_f1())) print(defs) print("Checking job creation: .ecf -> .job0") print(defs.check_job_creation()) print("Saving definition to file 'test.def'") defs.save_as_defs("test.def")
What to do
- Edit the definition file or python to add the modifications.
- Edit t1.ecf to call ecflow_client –meter
- Copy t4.ecf to t5.ecf, t6.ecf and t7.ecf
- Replace the suite
python: python3 test.py ; python3 client.py
text: ecflow_client --suspend=/test ; ecflow_client --replace=/test test.def - Observe the tasks in ecflow_ui
- See the triggers by selecting progress and clicking on the Triggers icon.
- Move the mouse pointer over progress icon, then with the right mouse button, choose Edit...
- Modify the value of the meter.
