testJob

[<code>integer(1)</code> or <code>data.table</code>]
Single integer to specify the job or a <code>data.table</code> with column <code>job.id</code>
and exactly one row.

[<code>logical(1)</code>]
 Run the job in an external R session? If <code>TRUE</code>, starts a fresh R
 session on the local machine to execute the with <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/execJob?package=batchtools&version=0.9.0" data-mini-rdoc="batchtools::execJob">execJob</a></code>.
 You will not be able to use debug tools like <code><a rd-options="base" href="/link/traceback?package=batchtools&version=0.9.0&to=base" data-mini-rdoc="base::traceback">traceback</a></code>
 or <code><a rd-options="base" href="/link/browser?package=batchtools&version=0.9.0&to=base" data-mini-rdoc="base::browser">browser</a></code>.<p></p><p> If <code>external</code> is set to <code>FALSE</code> (default) on the other hand,
 <code>testJob</code> will execute the job in the current R session and the usual
 debugging tools work. However, spotting missing variable declarations (as they
 are possibly resolved in the global environment) is impossible.
 Same holds for missing package dependency declarations.</p>

external

[<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/Registry?package=batchtools&version=0.9.0" data-mini-rdoc="batchtools::Registry">Registry</a></code>]
Registry. If not explicitly passed, uses the default registry (see <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/setDefaultRegistry?package=batchtools&version=0.9.0" data-mini-rdoc="batchtools::setDefaultRegistry">setDefaultRegistry</a></code>).

Starts a single job on the local machine.

As a successor of the packages 'BatchJobs' and 'BatchExperiments',
this package provides a parallel implementation of the Map function for high
performance computing systems managed by schedulers 'IBM Spectrum LSF'
(<http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/spectrum-computing/products/lsf/>),
'OpenLava' (<http://www.openlava.org/>), 'Univia Grid Engine'/'Oracle Grid
Engine' (<http://www.univa.com/>), 'Slurm' (<http://slurm.schedmd.com/>),
'Torque/PBS'
(<http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/products/open-source/torque/>), or
'Docker Swarm' (<https://docs.docker.com/swarm/>).
A multicore and socket mode allow the parallelization on a local machines,
and multiple machines can be hooked up via SSH to create a makeshift
cluster. Moreover, the package provides an abstraction mechanism to define
large-scale computer experiments in a well-organized and reproducible way.

testJob function

[<code>logical(1)</code>]
 Run the job in an external R session? If <code>TRUE</code>, starts a fresh R
 session on the local machine to execute the with <code><a rd-options='' href='execJob'>execJob</a></code>.
 You will not be able to use debug tools like <code><a rd-options='base' href='traceback'>traceback</a></code>
 or <code><a rd-options='base' href='browser'>browser</a></code>.

 If <code>external</code> is set to <code>FALSE</code> (default) on the other hand,
 <code>testJob</code> will execute the job in the current R session and the usual
 debugging tools work. However, spotting missing variable declarations (as they
 are possibly resolved in the global environment) is impossible.
 Same holds for missing package dependency declarations.

[<code><a rd-options='' href='Registry'>Registry</a></code>]
Registry. If not explicitly passed, uses the default registry (see <code><a rd-options='' href='setDefaultRegistry'>setDefaultRegistry</a></code>).
