startjobmanager

Start job manager process

Syntax

startjobmanager
startjobmanager -flags

Description

startjobmanager starts a job manager process and the associated job manager lookup process under the mdce service, which maintains them after that. The job manager handles the storage of jobs and the distribution of tasks contained in jobs to MATLAB® workers that are registered with it. The mdce service must already be running on the specified computer.

The startjobmanager executable resides in the folder matlabroot\toolbox\distcomp\bin (Windows® operating system) or matlabroot/toolbox/distcomp/bin (UNIX® operating system). Enter the following command syntax at a DOS or UNIX command-line prompt, respectively.

startjobmanager -flags accepts the following input flags. Multiple flags can be used together on the same command.

FlagOperation
-name <job_manager_name>Specifies the name of the job manager. This identifies the job manager to MATLAB worker sessions and MATLAB clients. The default is the value of the DEFAULT_JOB_MANAGER_NAME parameter in the mdce_def file.
-remotehost <hostname>Specifies the name of the host where you want to start the job manager and the job manager lookup process. If omitted, they start on the local host.
-cleanDeletes all checkpoint information stored on disk from previous instances of this job manager before starting. This cleans the job manager so that it initializes with no existing jobs or tasks.
-baseport <port_number>Specifies the base port that the mdce service on the remote host is using. You need to specify this only if the value of BASE_PORT in the local mdce_def file does not match the base port being used by the mdce service on the remote host.
-useMSMPIUse Microsoft® MPI (MS-MPI) for clusters on Windows platforms.
-vVerbose mode displays the progress of the command execution.

Examples

Start the job manager MyJobManager on the local host.

startjobmanager -name MyJobManager

Start the job manager MyJobManager on the host JMHost.

startjobmanager -name MyJobManager -remotehost JMHost
