DESCRIPTION

       drmaa_run_job()  submits an Sun Grid Engine job with attributes defined in the DRMAA job template, jt. On
       success up to job_id_len bytes of the job identifier are returned into the buffer, job_id.

   drmaa_run_bulk_jobs()
       The drmaa_run_bulk_jobs() submits a Sun Grid Engine array job very much as  if  the  qsub(1)  option  `-t
       start-end:incr' had been used along with the additional attributes defined in the DRMAA job template, jt.
       The same constraints regarding value ranges are also in effect for the parameters start, end, and incr as
       for  qsub(5)  -t.  On  success a DRMAA job id string vector containing job identifiers for each array job
       task is returned into jobids.  The job identifiers in the job id string vector  can  be  extracted  using
       drmaa_get_next_job_id(3).   The number of identifiers in the job id string vector can be determined using
       drmaa_get_num_job_ids(3).  Note that this function is only available  in  the  1.0  implementation.   The
       caller   is   responsible   for   releasing   the  job  id  string  vector  returned  into  jobids  using
       drmaa_release_job_ids(3).

   drmaa_get_next_job_id()
       Each time drmaa_get_next_job_id() is called it returns into the buffer, value, up to value_len  bytes  of
       the  next  entry  stored  in  the  DRMAA  job  id  string vector, values.  Once the job ids list has been
       exhausted, DRMAA_ERRNO_NO_MORE_ELEMENTS is returned.

   drmaa_get_num_job_ids()
       The drmaa_get_num_job_ids() returns into size the number of entries in the DRMAA job ids  string  vector.
       This function is only available in the 1.0 implementation.

   drmaa_release_job_ids()
       The  drmaa_release_attr_job_id()  function releases all resources associated with the DRMAA job id string
       vector, values. This operation has no effect on the actual Sun Grid Engine array job tasks.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

       SGE_ROOT       Specifies the location of the Sun Grid Engine standard configuration files.

       SGE_CELL       If set, specifies the default Sun Grid Engine cell to be  used.  To  address  a  Sun  Grid
                      Engine cell Sun Grid Engine uses (in the order of precedence):

                             The name of the cell specified in the environment variable SGE_CELL, if it is set.

                             The name of the default cell, i.e. default.

       SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL
                      If  set,  specifies  that  debug  information should be written to stderr. In addition the
                      level of detail in which debug information is generated is defined.

       SGE_QMASTER_PORT
                      If set, specifies the  tcp  port  on  which  sge_qmaster(8)  is  expected  to  listen  for
                      communication  requests.   Most  installations  will  use  a services map entry instead to
                      define that port.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, drmaa_run_job(), drmaa_run_bulk_jobs(),  and  drmaa_get_next_job_id()  return
       DRMAA_ERRNO_SUCCESS.  Other  values  indicate an error.  Up to error_diag_len characters of error related
       diagnosis information is then provided in the buffer error_diagnosis.

ERRORS

       The drmaa_run_job(), drmaa_run_bulk_jobs(), and drmaa_get_next_job_id() will fail if:

   DRMAA_ERRNO_INTERNAL_ERROR
       Unexpected or internal DRMAA error, like system call failure, etc.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_DRM_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
       Could not contact DRM system for this request.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_AUTH_FAILURE
       The specified request is not processed successfully due to authorization failure.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ARGUMENT
       The input value for an argument is invalid.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_NO_ACTIVE_SESSION
       Failed because there is no active session.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_NO_MEMORY
       Failed allocating memory.

       The drmaa_run_job() and drmaa_run_bulk_jobs() functions will fail if:

   DRMAA_ERRNO_TRY_LATER
       The DRM system indicated that it is too busy to accept the job. A retry may succeed, however.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_DENIED_BY_DRM
       The DRM system rejected the job. The job will never be accepted due to DRM configuration or job  template
       settings.

       The drmaa_get_next_job_id() will fail if:

   DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE
       When there are no more entries in the vector.
