Administrators may need to sign in to the DCG portal when configuring batch job submission in Ansys Minerva. Once job submission has been configured, Ansys Minerva users will be prompted to sign in to DCG when they submit a batch job in Ansys Minerva for the first time, or if they have not previously chosen to cache their DCG credentials. Once a batch job has been submitted, a user can access the DCG portal from the job view in Ansys Minerva, enabling them to monitor the job in DCG if desired.
Signing in to the DCG Portal from a Browser
To sign in to the DCG portal you can simply enter the portal's URL in your browser.
Example: https://hostname.domain.com:3000
The portal URL is displayed in the PORTAL_URI variable in the
monitoringHost_environment.txt file. This corresponds to the
-portal $( option
described in Starting the DCG Portal. PortalPort)
Signing in to the DCG Portal During Job Submission

When prompted:
Enter your DCG username and password. Typically, these are your OS credentials.
Optionally, to store your credentials so that you do not have to sign into DCG every time that you submit a job, select the check box.
