Maybe setup a test account and try with simply update on database: update clustername_assoc_table set acct="new" where id_assoc=YOURASSOCID ?
I haven't checked the details, but I think that only id_assoc may be used as foreign key, or assumed to be a key in slurm and acct should only be a string used to display the name human being can understand. I'm neither sure, nor haven't tested this. cheers, Marcin 2017-02-13 20:12 GMT+01:00 Ryan Novosielski <novos...@rutgers.edu>: > Yeah, I was afraid of that.
