VOV Properties

The name of the property must be less than 256 characters long and may contain alphanumeric characters and underscore (_), dash (-), and dot (.).

For string properties, the value must be less than 32,768 characters long and may contain any character.

vovprop: Usage Message

USAGE:
    % vovprop SET [-text] objectIdList propName propValue
    % vovprop GET [-default DEFAULT_VALUE_IF_PROP_MISSING] objectId propName
    % vovprop DELETE objectId propName
    % vovprop SHOW objectId [-namepat regexp] [-nameonly]
    % vovprop SHOW [-namepat regexp] [-nameonly] id1 [id2 ... idN]

    The action (GET, SET, DELETE, DEL, SHOW, LIST) is case-insensitive.
    LIST and SHOW are equivalent.

OPTIONS FOR GET:
    -default V        -- Specify a default value in case objectId
                         or property is missing.

OPTIONS FOR SET:
    -integer          -- Specify that property is of type integer.
    -text             -- Specify that property is of type string.
    -auto             -- Determine type automatically (default).
    -sticky           -- The property is sticky (default).
    -nosticky         -- The property is not sticky.
    -asynch           -- Do not wait for reply from server.
    -synch            -- Wait for reply from server (default).
    -elements         -- If setting a property on a set, do so for the
                         elements contained in the set instead of the
                         set itself.
    -noelements       -- If setting a property on a set, do so on the set
                         itself (default).

OPTIONS FOR SHOW,LIST:
    -namepat R        -- Show only properties where name matches regexp R
    -nameonly         -- Show only name, and omit value

OTHER OPTIONS:
    -v                -- Increase verbosity.
    -h                -- Print this help.

EXAMPLES:
    % vovprop SET -text 1 "ABC" "xyz"
    % vovprop SET -text 1 "NUM" 1234
    % vovprop GET 000123456 ABC
    % vovprop GET -default "" 000123456 ABC
    % vovprop DEL 000123456 ABC
    % vovprop SHOW 000123456

NOTES:
    A property of a job that is not 'sticky' will be forgotten
    if the job is re-run successfully.

Properties can also be managed using the Tcl API's vtk_prop_get and vtk_prop_set. Use vtk_prop_list to get a list of the names of the properties attached to an object.

Protected Properties

The properties "CAPSULE", "PRECMD" and "POSTCMD", which imply the execution of some code, are considered protected, because when they are attached to a job, they can only be modified by the owner of the job. Not even an ADMIN user can change them. This is consistent with the fact that only the owner of a job can change its main characteristics, namely the command line, the environment, or the working directory.
