swif2 create

Create a new empty workflow.

Usage

swif2 create <workflow> [options]

Create a new workflow named <workflow>, which will be owned by the user specified via the caller's scientific computing certificate.

You may specify site parameters to direct job attempts to somewhere other than the default site. The command swif2 show-sites will display available sites. You may specify any of these as the site to use, and can override individual parameters (e.g. site_path) by specifying their corresponding flags on the command line (e.g. -site-path); the resulting configuration will then be availble for future use, as well. If a user-specific configuration already exists for site_name, then you must specify a new name via the -site-moniker flag. Note that you may only override parameters for non-local sites.

-site-login-user	user name	Login user name used for connecting to the compute site.
-site-login-host	host name or ip address	Machine used for connecting to the compute site.
-site-path	directory path	Top level directory for swif at compute site.
-site-globus-endpoint	uuid	Globus endpoint uuid for accessing compute site.
-site-path-external	directory path	Top level directory for swif at compute site, as seen externally via globus. Not necessary if internal and external paths are the same.
-site-moniker	new site name	Provide a new name for the site configuration resulting from applying parameters to override configuration for site specified via `site-name`
