Dear Leo, Thank you for your answer and for sharing your experience. No, I hadn't received a reply to my question yet.
So it seems that macros such as @ALLOCATION@ (or any other SimFactory placeholder) can be changed via : * either editing the <machine>.ini file * or specifying the relevant command line option (i.e., among the ones that come up when doing "./simfactory/bin/sim --help"). And if I understand correctly, it seems that whatever is specified as a command-line option for sim takes priority over what is specified in the configuration files. Is this correct? If yes, then these placeholders could be simply left alone when editing the submitscript and runscript, and set via the respective sim command-line option when submitting a simulation. Right? And to reiterate part of my initial question: * If these @FOO@ macros for SimFactory are documented somewhere, I would be grateful if you could point me to the relevant page. * If such documentation does not exist, then it is also ok, and this empirical understanding will have to suffice for now. I was just asking to make sure I was not missing some obvious documentation source.

I'm not sure you already got a reply, but in case you haven't, my understanding is that placeholders like @FOO@ are there to indicate things you need to change yourself, manually. So when you see something like: #SBATCH -A @ALLOCATION@ then it means you should replace @ALLOCATION@ with the name of your allocation in the specific cluster. Someone else can correct me if this is not correct, but that's how I usually handle these.

Issue with ReadInterpolate (Luciano Combi) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2025 10:43:36 +0000 From: IOSIF PANAGIOTIS <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: Einstein Toolkit Users <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [Users] SimFactory placeholder macros Message-ID: <as8p250mb08637a69a316c8763e533b5ff9...@as8p250mb0863.eurp250.prod.outlook.com<mailto:as8p250mb08637a69a316c8763e533b5ff9...@as8p250mb0863.eurp250.prod.outlook.com>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi, I have been following this document, https://einsteintoolkit.org/seminars/2022_02_24/index.html , to set up ET on my cluster, working also on some example configuration files. While preparing the submit and run scripts, I wanted to check the description of the @FOO@ macros that SimFactory uses. I checked these places but found no information. * https://simfactory.bitbucket.io/simfactory2/userguide/ (no mention of macros) * https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simulation_Factory_Advanced_Tutorial (1 mention of the @USER@ macro and a pointer to a section #Macros<https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simulation_Factory_Advanced_Tutorial#Macros> that seems missing) * https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Configuring_a_new_machine (there is no information on the submitscript and runscript) So I would like to ask: If e.g. I have this line in my submitscript: #SBATCH -A @ALLOCATION@ Where is @ALLOCATION@ "read" from? My guess is that this is specified in the .ini file in this line: allocation = <project_account> Could you confirm if this is the case? Is there another source of documentation (that I might have missed) describing what these @FOO@ placeholders do?
