GetUseRsmForEngineLaunch

Purpose

This function is optional. If this feature is not needed, then the function need not be implemented. Most schedulers should not need this feature.

For some schedulers, it may be desirable for the RSM service to launch the engine processes instead of using the scheduler proxy library. For example, if the scheduler proxy library is limited to launching one process per host, then the scheduler proxy library may be used to launch one RSM service executable per host, and the RSM executable will launch all of the engine processes.

If the RSM service is used to launch engine processes for this scheduler, then this function shall be implemented and it returns TRUE.

If the RSM service should not be used to launch engine processes for this scheduler, then this function is not required. If it is implemented, it should return FALSE If it is not implemented, it will be treated the same as if it was implemented and returns FALSE.

Signature

extern "C" bool FN_PREFIX_GetUseRsmForEngineLaunch(void)

Arguments

None.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if the RSM service should be used to launch engine processes for this scheduler. Returns FALSE if the RSM service should not be used to launch engine processes for this scheduler.

Notes

This function is optional. If not implemented, then it is treated the same as if it was implemented and returns FALSE.
