In order to use the ArcGIS shell it needs to be installed in your account. For account traine in workgroup it_css, the ArcGIS shell was installed in $WORKDIR/traine/arcgis-10.1-shell.
A python script is used to execute the GIS tasks like the arc-test.py below. This example refers to the full path of the input file as /lustre/work/it_css/ArcGIS and the output file as /lustre/work/it_css/traine/ArcGIS.
# This example code produces a 100 Meter buffer of a point located in the center of Newark, DE
import arcpy
arcpy.Buffer_analysis("z:\\lustre\\work\\it_css\\ArcGIS\\nwkcntr.shp","z:\\lustre\\work\\it_css\\traine\\ArcGIS\\nwkcntr_Buffer","100 Meters","FULL","ROUND","NONE","#")
You will also need a queue submission file to run your GIS tasks which will be based on the serial.qs template in /opt/shared/templates/gridengine. The example below is a modified version called arc-submit.qs for the account traine in workgroup it_css using the installed ArcGIS shell in /archive/it_css/traine/arcgis-10.1-shell.
# Setup the environment; add vpkg_require commands after this # line: # Now append all of your shell commands necessary to run your program # after this line: $WORKDIR/traine/arcgis-10.1-shell arc-test.py
Create a directory <ArcGIS_projects> to store your .py and .qs file. This is also the directory you most likely will want to reference for your input and output files. For account traine in workgroup it_css we will use $WORKDIR/traine/ArcGIS. Now we can submit our batch run by using
[traine@farber ArcGIS]$ workgroup -g it_css [(it_css:traine)@farber ArcGIS]$ qsub arc-submit.qs
All interactive jobs should be run on a compute node by setting your workgroup and using qlogin. For account traine in workgroup it_css, the ArcGIS shell was installed in $WORKDIR/traine/arcgis-10.1-shell. The same python script, arc-test.py, used for the batch job can be used for an interactive job.
Although there is no GUI with the ArcGIS shell, if it detects that your SSH connection is configured to enable X11-forwarding you will get an error unless you run an X-Windows server (e.g. Xming) or unset DISPLAY before running the ArcGIS shell.
The example below shows an ArcGIS interactive job with an X-Windows server running.
[traine@farber ArcGIS]$ workgroup -g it_css [(it_css:traine)@farber ArcGIS]$ qlogin Your job 357451 ("QLOGIN") has been submitted waiting for interactive job to be scheduled ... Your interactive job 357451 has been successfully scheduled. Establishing /opt/shared/OpenGridScheduler/local/qlogin_ssh session to host n016 ...

The following example shows the install steps of the ArcGIS shell on the Farber cluster for account traine in the install directory $WORKDIR/traine. Remember each user must install the ArcGIS shell for their own account. Once the install is complete, the ArcGIS shell ($WORKDIR/traine/arcgis-10.1-shell) will only work for the account traine on Farber.
[traine@farber ~]$ workgroup -g it_css [(it_css:traine)@farber ~]$ qlogin Your job 357310 ("QLOGIN") has been submitted waiting for interactive job to be scheduled ...

The following example shows updating the ArcGIS shell license on the Farber cluster for account traine in the install directory $WORKDIR/traine.
