The Open OnDemand Job Composer enables users to create job scripts and submit them without ever using the command line. This is paricularly helpful for new users who have never opened a terminal or are unfamiliar with Linux command line behavior. However, some knowledge of Slurm and ARCC’s required Slurm directives is needed to successfully submit jobs on MedicineBow. Discussed in this module is the use of the Job Composer and common issues that arise with it.

After clicking the “New Job” Button and selecting the “Default Template” option, we are presented with a new box on the right of the first look. Notice the parameters already set:

If we click save and go back to the Job Composer page, we should see our changes in the preview.
Job Options
Now that our job will run, we still might need to make some changes to the job options that will work best for us. If we click the “Job Options” button on the left box we get presented with a new view:
