HTCondor: DAGMan input file priority vs job submit description file priority

In HTCondor, what priority has greater precedence (if both are provided): the one specified for a job in the DAGMan input file or the one provided in the job submit description file?

For example, if one has in the DAGMan input file:

JOB MyJob MyJob.sub
PRIORITY MyJob 1

and at the same time, in MyJob.sub:

priority = 2

What priority will be assigned to the job MyJob, 1 or 2?

Thank you very much for your help!

Solution

  • I have got an answer to my question:

    DAGMan will override any priority command placed in a submit description file (unless the effective node priority is 0; in this case, any priority specified in the submit file will take effect).
