 ====== ArcGIS on Mills ======
-===== ArcGIS shell installation example =====
+===== Batch job =====
+In order to use the [[:software:arcgis:arcgis#install-arcgis-shell|ArcGIS shell]] it needs to be installed in your account.  For account ''traine'' in workgroup ''it_css'', the ArcGIS shell was installed in ''$WORKDIR/traine/arcgis-10.1-shell''.
+A python script is used to execute the GIS tasks like the ''arc-test.py'' below. This example refers to the full path of the input file as ''/lustre/work/it_css/ArcGIS'' and the output file as ''/lustre/work/it_css/traine/ArcGIS''.
+<code - arc-test.py>
+# This example code produces a 100 Meter buffer of a point located in the center of Newark, DE
+import arcpy
+arcpy.Buffer_analysis("z:\\lustre\\work\\it_css\\ArcGIS\\nwkcntr.shp","z:\\lustre\\work\\it_css\\traine\\ArcGIS\\nwkcntr_Buffer","100 Meters","FULL","ROUND","NONE","#")
+</code>
+You will also need a queue submission file to run your GIS tasks which will be based on the ''serial.qs'' template in ''/opt/shared/templates/gridengine''. The example below is a modified version called ''arc-submit.qs'' for the account ''traine'' in workgroup ''it_css'' using the installed ArcGIS shell in ''/archive/it_css/traine/arcgis-10.1-shell''.
+<code - arc-submit.qs>
+# Setup the environment; add vpkg_require commands after this
+# line:
+# Now append all of your shell commands necessary to run your program
+# after this line:
+$WORKDIR/traine/arcgis-10.1-shell arc-test.py
+</code>
+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 ''$WORKDIR/traine/ArcGIS''. Now we can submit our batch run by using
+<code bash>
+[traine@mills ArcGIS]$ workgroup -g it_css
+[(it_css:traine)@mills ArcGIS]$ qsub arc-submit.qs
+</code>
+===== Interactive job =====
+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 ''$WORKDIR/traine/arcgis-10.1-shell''. The same python script, [[http://docs.hpc.udel.edu/_export/code/clusters/mills/arcgis?codeblock=1|arc-test.py]], used for the [[:software:arcgis:mills#batch-job|batch job]] can be used for an interactive job.
+Although there is no GUI with the ArcGIS shell, if it detects that your SSH connection is configured to enable X11-forwarding you will get an [[:software:arcgis:arcgis#troubleshooting | error]] unless you run an X-Windows server (e.g. Xming) or ''unset DISPLAY'' before running the ArcGIS shell.
+==== Running X-Windows and DISPLAY set properly ====
+The example below shows an ArcGIS interactive job with an X-Windows server running.
+<code bash>
+[traine@mills ArcGIS]$ workgroup -g it_css
+[(it_css:traine)@mills 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 ...
+[traine@n016 ArcGIS]$ $WORKDIR/traine/arcgis-10.1-shell

+===== ArcGIS Shell Installation Example =====
 The following example shows the install steps of the ArcGIS shell on the Mills 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 Mills.
