**************************
The job script ``job.ksh``
**************************

The job script is a Korn-shell script which will be created at runtime for each ``flex_extract`` execution in the application modes **remote** and **gateway**.

It is based on the ``job.temp`` template file stored in the ``Templates`` directory.
This template is generated in the installation process from a ``job.template`` template file.

``Flex_extract`` uses the Python package `genshi <https://genshi.edgewall.org/>`_ to generate
the Korn-shell script from the template files by substituting the individual parameters. 
These individual parameters are marked by ``$$`` in ``job.temp``. 

The job script has a number of settings for the batch system which are fixed, and differentiates between the *ecgate* and the *cca/ccb* 
server system to load the necessary modules for the environment when submitted to the batch queue.

The submission is done by the ``ECaccess`` tool from within ``flex_extract`` with the command ``ecaccess-job-submit``.



What does the job script do?
----------------------------

 #. It sets necessary batch system parameters.
 #. It prepares the job environment at the ECMWF servers by loading the necessary library modules.
 #. It sets some environment variables for the single session.
 #. It creates the directory structure in the user's ``$SCRATCH`` file system.
 #. It creates a CONTROL file on the ECMWF servers whith the parameters set before creating the ``jobscript.ksh``. ``Flex_extract`` has a set of parameters which are passed to the job script with their default or the user-defined values. It also sets ``CONTROL`` as an environment variable.
 #. ``Flex_extract`` is started from within the ``work`` directory of the new directory structure by calling the ``submit.py`` script. It sets new paths for input and output directories and the recently generated ``CONTROL`` file.
 #. At the end, it checks whether the script has returned an error or not, and emails the log file to the user.
