|---|
| 6 | - :doc:`Input/control` |
|---|
| 7 | ``Flex_extract`` needs a number of controlling parameters to decide on the behaviour and the actual dataset to be retrieved. They are initialized by ``flex_extract`` with their default values and can be overwritten with definitions set in the so called :doc:`Input/control`. |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | To be able to successfully retrieve data from the ECMWF Mars archive it is necessary to understand these parameters and set them to proper and consistent values. They are described in :doc:`Input/control_params` section. |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | We also have some :doc:`Input/examples` and description of :doc:`Input/changes` changes to previous versions and downward compatibilities. |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | - :doc:`Input/ecmwf_env` |
|---|
| 14 | For ``flex_extract`` it is necessary to be able to reach ECMWF servers in the **remote mode** and the **gateway mode**. Therefore a :doc:`Input/ecmwf_env` is created during the installation process. |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | - :doc:`Input/templates` |
|---|
| 17 | A number of files which are created by ``flex_extract`` are taken from templates. This makes it easy to adapt for example the jobscripts regarding its settings for the batch jobs. |

| 30 | Controlling |
|---|
| 31 | The main tasks and behaviour of ``flex_extract`` are controlled by its Python scripts. There are two top-level scripts, one for installation called install_ and one for execution called submit_. |
|---|
| 32 | They can interpret a number of command line arguments which can be seen by typing ``--help`` after the script call. Go to the root directory of ``flex_extract`` to type: |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | .. code-block:: bash |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | cd flex_extract_vX.X |
|---|
| 37 | python3 source/python/install.py --help |
|---|
| 38 | python3 source/python/submit.py --help |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | In this new version we provide also the wrapping Shell scripts setup_ and run_, which sets the command line parameters, do some checks and execute the corresponing Python scripts ``install.py`` and ``submit.py`` respectivley. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | It might be faster and easier for beginners. See :doc:`../quick_start` for information on how to use them. |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | Additionally, ``flex_extract`` creates the Korn Shell scripts :doc:`Input/compilejob` and :doc:`Input/jobscript` which will be send to the ECMWF serves in the **remote mode** and the **gateway mode** for starting batch jobs. |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | The Fortran program will be compiled during the installation process by the :doc:`Input/fortran_makefile`. |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | To sum up, the following scripts controls ``flex_extract``: |
