Tier 3: Testing How To

Follow these steps to submit a test job using the UI:
(before proceeding you should have a valid Grid Proxy issued: see here for more information)

1. mkdir Test
2. save this testjob file in the "Test" directory under the name put3test.jdl
   
3. cd Test
4. edg-job-submit --vo cms put3test.jdl
5. Once the job is submitted one gets a job ID URL (a https link)
   
• Now to see the status of this submitted job type: edg-job-status JobIDURL
6. One can try 2-3 times to see if the job finished without errors with above command
• Status of the jobs are: Scheduled, Done (Success) NB:  exit code should be 0 in case of success
  
7. Now retrieve the output of the successfully finished job by:
• edg-job-get-output JobIDURL

Once you are done with this simple test, you can proceed with the regular CMSSW CRAB job submission test.
