Currently, the ecflow python API provides quite extensive functionality.
However sometimes we just want to query simple state on the command
line, and using the full-blown python API, can seem like overkill.
Query can be used in these simple cases
Query the status of attributes i.e. state, dstate, repeat,event, meter,
variable, limit , limit_max or trigger expression without blocking
- state return [unknown \| complete \| queued \| aborted \|
submitted \| active] to standard out
- dstate return [unknown \| complete \| queued \| aborted \|
submitted \| active \| suspended] to standard out
- | repeat returns current value as a string to standard out, can
also retrieve the next and previous value of the repeat. See
examples below
| The next/prev will always stay within repeat bounds. hence calling
'next' on the last value of the repeat, will return last value.
| Likewise calling 'prev' on a repeat that has not started, will
return the first/start value.
- event return 'set' \| 'clear' to standard out
- meter return value of the meter to standard out
- limit return the current value of the limit
- limit_max return the maximum value of the limit
- label return new value otherwise the old value
- variable return value of the variable, repeat or generated
variable to standard out, will search up the node tree
- trigger returns 'true' if the expression is true, otherwise
'false'
If this command is called within a '.ecf' script we will additionally log the task calling this command
This is required to aid debugging for excessive use of this command
The command will fail if the node path to the attribute does not exist
in the definition and if:
- repeat The repeat is not found
- event The event is not found
- meter The meter is not found
- limit/limit_max The limit is not found
- label The label is not found
- variable No user or generated variable or repeat of that name found
on node, or any of its parents
- trigger Trigger does not parse, or reference to nodes/attributes in
the expression are not valid
Arguments:
- arg1 = [ state \| event \| meter \| label \| variable \| trigger \|
limit \| limit_max ]
- arg2 = <path> \| <path>:name where name is name of a event,
meter,limit or variable
- arg3 = trigger expression (optional) \| prev \| next # prev,next
only used when arg1 is repeat
Usage:
.. code-block:: shell
state=$(ecflow_client --query state /path/to/node) # return node state to standard out
dstate=$(ecflow_client --query dstate /path/to/node) # state that can includes suspended
value=$(ecflow_client --query repeat /path/to/node ) # return the current value as a string
value=$(ecflow_client --query repeat /path/to/node prev ) # return the previous value as a string, does not modify real repeat
value=$(ecflow_client --query repeat /path/to/node next) # return the next value as a string, does not modify real repeat
event=$(ecflow_client --query event /path/to/task/with/event:event_name) # return set | clear to standard out
meter=$(ecflow_client --query meter /path/to/task/with/meter:meter_name) # returns the current value of the meter to standard out
value=$(ecflow_client --query variable /path/to/task/with/var:var_name ) # returns the variable value to standard out
limit_value=$(ecflow_client --query limit /path/to/task/with/limit:limit_name) # returns the current value of the limit to standard out
limit_max=$(ecflow_client --query limit_max /path/to/task/with/limit:limit_name) # returns the max value of the limit to standard out
label_value=$(ecflow_client --query label %ECF_NAME%:label_name) # returns the current value of the label to standard out
value=$(ecflow_client --query trigger /path/to/node/with/trigger \"/suite/task == complete\") # return true if expression evaluates false otherwise
