The scripts of MATLAB Distributed Computing Engine run using several
default parameters. You can customize the scripts, as described in this section.
Defining the Script Defaults
Thescriptsfortheengineservicesrequire values for s everal parameters.
These parameters set the proces s name, the user name, log file location, ports,
etc. Some of these can be set using flags o n the com mand lines, but the full set
of user-configurable parameters can be accessed in the
mdce_def file.
Note The startup script flags take precedence over the settings in the
mdce_def file.
The default parameters used by the engine service scripts are defined in
the file
•
matlabroot\toolbox\distcomp\bin\mdce_def.bat (Windows)
•
matlabroot/toolbox/distcomp/bin/mdce_def.sh (UNIX or Macintosh)
To set the default parameters, edit this file before installing or starting the
mdce service.
The
mdce_def file is self-documented, and includes explanations of a ll its
parameters.
Note If you want to run more than one job manager on the same machine,
they must all have unique names. You can specify the names using flags
