Submit Tasks Using Task Templates

You can configure task templates in advance and use them to submit tasks to the cluster, improving efficiency. This guide explains how to create a task template and submit a task using that template.

Prerequisites

• You have created an Fsched cluster and its status is Running. See Add Hosts and Create a Cluster.
• Shared storage is enabled in environment configuration. See Use Shared Storage as the Fastone Storage Directory.
• The platform task scheduling mode is set to the scheduler-oriented task mode. See Set the Task Scheduling Mode.

Create a Task Template

1. In the left sidebar, open the Task Templates page.

2. Click New and add a task template using the example below. For a full explanation of template syntax, see Task Template Overview.

   # Display name of the task template
   Name: RunCommand
   Definition:
   parameters:
     - name: param1
       display: runcommand
       description: Description
       type: STRING
       required: true
       usage: SCRIPT
       visibility: true
   outputs:
     - path: testrun.txt
       type: text
   script: |-
       #!/bin/bash
       {{ param1 }} >> a.txt

   Keep other settings as default.

3. Click Submit.

Submit a Task Using the Template

1. On the home page under Quick Navigation, click New Task.
2. Select the RunCommand template created in the previous step.
3. On the parameter input page, enter a command in runcommand (for example, hostname). In the cluster list, select a running Fsched cluster.
4. Click Submit.
5. Go to Compute -> Application Center -> Task Management to check task status.

View Task Output

In Compute -> Application Center -> Task Management, locate the task you submitted, open the task details page, and click the output file a.txt to view the result.
