Overview

Job Composer submits and manages batch (non-interactive) jobs from the browser โ€” create new jobs, edit scripts, and manage the associated directories and files.

Getting started

  1. Open the OnDemand portal and authenticate with NetID + DUO
  2. Launch Job Composer from the dashboard icon or the Jobs menu

Creating jobs

  • From specified path โ€” import an existing job script by providing its source path
  • From default template โ€” generate a new MPI job with standard settings

Editing scripts

Click the filename in Folder Contents or the Open Editor button โ€” a text editor opens in a new tab with adjustable text size, theme, and mode. Save via the top-left button.

Managing directories

  • Open Terminal โ€” command-line editing (may require DUO re-authorization)
  • Edit Files / Open Dir โ€” a graphical editor supporting create, move, copy, upload, and download

Submitting and controlling

Back on the main Job Composer page, click Submit to queue the job. Use Stop to pause a running job or Delete to remove it.
