HTCondor Manual transfer spooled data

## 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.
