NAME
condor_transfer_data - HTCondor Manual

transfer spooled data

SYNOPSIS

condor_transfer_data [-help | -version]

condor_transfer_data [ -pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber] | -name scheddname ] | [-addr "<a.b.c.d:port>"] cluster... | cluster.process... | user... | -constraint expression ...

condor_transfer_data [ -pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber] | -name scheddname ] | [-addr "<a.b.c.d:port>"] -all

DESCRIPTION

condor_transfer_data causes HTCondor to transfer spooled data. It is meant to be used in conjunction with the -spool option of condor_submit, as in

$ condor_submit -spool mysubmitfile

Submission of a job with the -spool option causes HTCondor to spool all input files, the job event log, and any proxy across a connection to the machine where the condor_schedd daemon is running. After spooling these files, the machine from which the job is submitted may disconnect from the network or modify its local copies of the spooled files.

When the job finishes, the job has JobStatus = 4, meaning that the job has completed. The output of the job is spooled, and condor_transfer_data retrieves the output of the completed job.
