Stopping Rescale Job and Saving Current Data

On the Rescale job web page, you’ll find a Stop button. Clicking this button stops the ongoing job, but only the previously saved files are downloaded from the cluster to the Rescale storage. The current case and data commonly need to be saved before terminating the Fluent process. This can be accomplished by creating an exit-fluent file in the working directory.

Fluent regularly monitors this file, and upon detection, it writes the current case and data before exiting. Once the Fluent process is closed, the Rescale cluster will also shut down.

To stop a running job, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Monitor Job page in Fluent CloudConnect.
2. Select the running job and click Open Job in Browser.
3. Start an SSH connection to the cluster by clicking Open here in the SSH box.
4. Use the command cd work to navigate to the working directory.
5. Create a Fluent exit file with the command touch exit-fluent.
