•
matlabroot/toolbox/distcomp/bin/mdce_def.sh (UNIX or Macintosh)
Before installing and starting the mdce service, you can edit this file to set
the default parameters with values you require.
Alternatively, you can make a copy of t his file, modify the copy, and specify
that this copy be used for the default parameters.
On UNIX or Macintosh,
mdce start -md cedef my_mdce_d ef.sh
On Windows,
mdce install - mdcedef my_mdce _def.bat
mdce start -md cedef my_mdce_de f.bat
If you specify a new mdce_d ef file instead o f the default file for the service on
one computer, the new file is not automatically us ed by the mdce se rvice on
other computers. If you want to use the same alternative file for all your mdce
services, you must specify it for each mdce serv ice you install or start.
For more information, see “Defining the Script Defaults” on page 2-10.
Note The startup script flags take precedence over the settings in the
mdce_def file.
Starting in a Clean State
When a job manager or worker starts up, it normally resumes its session from
the past. This way, a job queue w ill not be destroyed or lost if the job manager
machine crashes or if the job manager is inadvertently shut down. If you
want to start up a job manager or worker from a clean state, with all history
deleted, use the
-clean flag on the start command:
startjobmanager -clean -name MyJo bManager
startworker -cl ean -jobmanager MyJobManager
