ARGUMENTS

begin_time
When to begin the operation.
error_code
Error code for checkpoint operation. Only the highest value is preserved.
error_msg
Error message for checkpoint operation. Only the error_msg value for the highest error_code is preserved.
image_dir
Directory specification for where the checkpoint file should be read from or written to. The default value is specified by the JobCheckpointDir Slurm configuration parameter.
job_id
Slurm job ID to perform the operation upon.
max_wait
Maximum time to allow for the operation to complete in seconds.
nodelist
Nodes to send the request.
start_time
Time at which last checkpoint operation began (if one is in progress), otherwise zero.
step_id
Slurm job step ID to perform the operation upon. May be NO_VAL if the operation is to be performed on all steps of the specified job. Specify SLURM_BATCH_SCRIPT to checkpoint a batch job.
stick
If non-zero then restart the job on the same nodes that it was checkpointed from.

DESCRIPTION

slurm_checkpoint_able Report if checkpoint operations can presently be issued for the specified job step. If yes, returns SLURM_SUCCESS and sets start_time if checkpoint operation is presently active. Returns ESLURM_DISABLED if checkpoint operation is disabled.

slurm_checkpoint_complete Note that a requested checkpoint has been completed.

slurm_checkpoint_create Request a checkpoint for the identified job step. Continue its execution upon completion of the checkpoint.

slurm_checkpoint_disable Make the identified job step non-checkpointable. This can be issued as needed to prevent checkpointing while a job step is in a critical section or for other reasons.

slurm_checkpoint_enable Make the identified job step checkpointable.

slurm_checkpoint_error Get error information about the last checkpoint operation for a given job step.

slurm_checkpoint_restart Request that a previously checkpointed job resume execution. It may continue execution on different nodes than were originally used. Execution may be delayed if resources are not immediately available.

slurm_checkpoint_vacate Request a checkpoint for the identified job step. Terminate its execution upon completion of the checkpoint.

RETURN VALUE

Zero is returned upon success. On error, -1 is returned, and the Slurm error code is set appropriately.

ERRORS

ESLURM_INVALID_JOB_ID the requested job or job step id does not exist.

ESLURM_ACCESS_DENIED the requesting user lacks authorization for the requested action (e.g. trying to delete or modify another user's job).

ESLURM_JOB_PENDING the requested job is still pending.

ESLURM_ALREADY_DONE the requested job has already completed.

ESLURM_DISABLED the requested operation has been disabled for this job step. This will occur when a request for checkpoint is issued when they have been disabled.

ESLURM_NOT_SUPPORTED the requested operation is not supported on this system.

EXAMPLE

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <slurm/slurm.h>
#include <slurm/slurm_errno.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
       uint32_t job_id, step_id;

       if (argc < 3) {

               printf("Usage: %s job_id step_id\n", argv[0]);

               exit(1);

       }

       job_id = atoi(argv[1]);

       step_id = atoi(argv[2]);

       if (slurm_checkpoint_disable(job_id, step_id)) {

               slurm_perror ("slurm_checkpoint_error:");

               exit (1);

       }

       exit (0);

}
