Submit a job to Oracle Grid Engine in Jenkins continuous integration test system

Question

I know how to run a bash script on Jenkins. However, if I use qsub to submit the bash script to OGE system, how does Jenkins know that my job terminates or not?

Answer 1

You can use "-sync y" on your qsub to cause the qsub to wait until the job(s) are finished.

Answer 2

Jenkins allows for you to submit the results of a build using a web based API. I currently use this to monitor a job remotely for a grid at my orginization. If you have the ability to perform a web post to the jenkins server you could use the below script to accomplish the job.

#!/bin/bash

MESSAGE="Some message about job success"
RUNTIME="Some calculation to estimate runtime"
USERNAME="userNameForJenkinsLogin"
PASSWORD="passwordForJenkinsLogin"
JENKINS_HOST="URLToJenkins"
TEST_NAME="Name of Test"

curl -i -X post -d "<run><log>$MESSAGE</log><result>0</result><duration>$RUNTIME</duration></run>" http://$USERNAME:$PASSWORD@$JENKINS_HOST/jenkins/job/$TEST_NAME/postBuildResult

The Jenkins SGE Cloud plugin submits builds to the Sun Grid Engine (SGE) batch scheduler. Both the open source version of SGE and the commercial Univa Grid Engine (UGE) are supported.

This plugin adds a new type of build step Run job on SGE that submits batch jobs to SGE. The build step monitors the job status and periodically appends the progress to the build's Console Output. Should the build fail, errors and the exit status of the job also appear. If the job is terminated in Jenkins, it is also terminated in SGE.

Builds are submitted to SGE by a new type of cloud, SGE Cloud. The cloud is given a label like any other slave. When a job with a matching label is run, SGE Cloud submits the build to SGE.
