Remote Execution from CAE via queue from Windows 7 client on Unix cluster

Hi all,

 

I am currently fighting with the remote exeuction from CAE via queue from Windows 7 client on Unix cluster. In the knowledgebase "BR10000113134" the following is stated:

Submitting a job remotely from within Abaqus/CAE from a Windows machine with a Windows 7 operating system will fail because the 'rsh' and 'rcp' commands are no longer supplied with the Windows 7 operating system. Since 'ssh' and 'scp' are not supported, there is no third party workaround. Affected Products: /CAE: Job_Execution Original ABMS Bug Number: SIR-101158

but with using Putty on Windows it is possible to enable 'ssh' and 'scp' and I am able to submit a job on the unix cluster. For that I created two batch scripts "rcp.bat" and "rsh.bat" in the working directory which then are accessed by Abaqus/CAE. My remaining problems are: 

  • The .odb file is not copied back from the Unix cluster to my Windows 7 client. I have no idea why. The FilesToCopy Option and FileCopy=ON in the environment file have been tested in all possible ways.
  • The batch scripts need to be in the working directory, but I want them only in one directory. Is there a general directory where Abaqus will be looking for these files?

 

BR,
