Hello everyone,
I am developing an application that calls the Slurm API functions. In my
first attemps I have been working with this code:
>
> job_desc_msg_t job;
> job.name=(char *)"new job";
> job.min_nodes = 1;
> job.user_id = getuid();
> job.group_id = getgid();
> slurm_init_job_desc_msg(&job);
> resource_allocation_response_msg_t* slurm_alloc_msg_ptr;
> if (!(slurm_alloc_msg_ptr =slurm_allocate_resources_blocking(&job, 0,
> NULL))) {
> slurm_perror ((char *)"slurm_allocate_resources_blocking error");
> exit (1);
> }
Where I declare a new job, give some information and finally ask for
resources.
What the controller daemon writes in the log is:
>
> slurmctld: debug2: sched: Processing RPC: REQUEST_RESOURCE_ALLOCATION from
> uid=16777240
> slurmctld: debug3: JobDesc: user_id=4294967294 job_id=N/A partition=(null)
> name=(null)
> slurmctld: debug3: cpus=-1-4294967294 pn_min_cpus=-1 core_spec=-1
... and it finishes with ...
slurmctld: _validate_job_desc: job failed to specify User
> slurmctld: _slurm_rpc_allocate_resources: Invalid user id
I do not know why the user_id changes when the message is going to be
processed.
Thank you.
