BatchJobManagerTask.cs

Specifies details of a Job Manager Task. The Job Manager Task is automatically started when the Job is created. The Batch service tries to schedule the Job Manager Task before any other Tasks in the Job. When shrinking a Pool, the Batch service tries to preserve Nodes where Job Manager Tasks are running for as long as possible (that is, Compute Nodes running 'normal' Tasks are removed before Compute Nodes running Job Manager Tasks). When a Job Manager Task fails and needs to be restarted, the system tries to schedule it at the highest priority. If there are no idle Compute Nodes available, the system may terminate one of the running Tasks in the Pool and return it to the queue in order to make room for the Job Manager Task to restart. Note that a Job Manager Task in one Job does not have priority over Tasks in other Jobs. Across Jobs, only Job level priorities are observed. For example, if a Job Manager in a priority 0 Job needs to be restarted, it will not displace Tasks of a priority 1 Job. Batch will retry Tasks when a recovery operation is triggered on a Node. Examples of recovery operations include (but are not limited to) when an unhealthy Node is rebooted or a Compute Node disappeared due to host failure. Retries due to recovery operations are independent of and are not counted against the maxTaskRetryCount. Even if the maxTaskRetryCount is 0, an internal retry due to a recovery operation may occur. Because of this, all Tasks should be idempotent. This means Tasks need to tolerate being interrupted and restarted without causing any corruption or duplicate data. The best practice for long running Tasks is to use some form of checkpointing.

Properties

AllowLowPriorityNode	Whether the Job Manager Task may run on a Spot/Low-priority Compute Node. The default value is true.
ApplicationPackageReferences	A list of Application Packages that the Batch service will deploy to the Compute Node before running the command line.Application Packages are downloaded and deployed to a shared directory, not the Task working directory. Therefore, if a referenced Application Package is already on the Compute Node, and is up to date, then it is not re-downloaded; the existing copy on the Compute Node is used. If a referenced Application Package cannot be installed, for example because the package has been deleted or because download failed, the Task fails.
AuthenticationTokenSettings	The settings for an authentication token that the Task can use to perform Batch service operations. If this property is set, the Batch service provides the Task with an authentication token which can be used to authenticate Batch service operations without requiring an Account access key. The token is provided via the AZ_BATCH_AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN environment variable. The operations that the Task can carry out using the token depend on the settings. For example, a Task can request Job permissions in order to add other Tasks to the Job, or check the status of the Job or of other Tasks under the Job.
CommandLine	The command line of the Job Manager Task. The command line does not run under a shell, and therefore cannot take advantage of shell features such as environment variable expansion. If you want to take advantage of such features, you should invoke the shell in the command line, for example using "cmd /c MyCommand" in Windows or "/bin/sh -c MyCommand" in Linux. If the command line refers to file paths, it should use a relative path (relative to the Task working directory), or use the Batch provided environment variable (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/batch-compute-node-environment-variables).
Constraints	Constraints that apply to the Job Manager Task.
ContainerSettings	The settings for the container under which the Job Manager Task runs. If the Pool that will run this Task has containerConfiguration set, this must be set as well. If the Pool that will run this Task doesn't have containerConfiguration set, this must not be set. When this is specified, all directories recursively below the AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR (the root of Azure Batch directories on the node) are mapped into the container, all Task environment variables are mapped into the container, and the Task command line is executed in the container. Files produced in the container outside of AZ_BATCH_NODE_ROOT_DIR might not be reflected to the host disk, meaning that Batch file APIs will not be able to access those files.
DisplayName	The display name of the Job Manager Task. It need not be unique and can contain any Unicode characters up to a maximum length of 1024.
EnvironmentSettings	A list of environment variable settings for the Job Manager Task.
Id	A string that uniquely identifies the Job Manager Task within the Job. The ID can contain any combination of alphanumeric characters including hyphens and underscores and cannot contain more than 64 characters.
KillJobOnCompletion	Whether completion of the Job Manager Task signifies completion of the entire Job. If true, when the Job Manager Task completes, the Batch service marks the Job as complete. If any Tasks are still running at this time (other than Job Release), those Tasks are terminated. If false, the completion of the Job Manager Task does not affect the Job status. In this case, you should either use the onAllTasksComplete attribute to terminate the Job, or have a client or user terminate the Job explicitly. An example of this is if the Job Manager creates a set of Tasks but then takes no further role in their execution. The default value is true. If you are using the onAllTasksComplete and onTaskFailure attributes to control Job lifetime, and using the Job Manager Task only to create the Tasks for the Job (not to monitor progress), then it is important to set killJobOnCompletion to false.
OutputFiles	A list of files that the Batch service will upload from the Compute Node after running the command line. For multi-instance Tasks, the files will only be uploaded from the Compute Node on which the primary Task is executed.
RequiredSlots	The number of scheduling slots that the Task requires to run. The default is 1. A Task can only be scheduled to run on a compute node if the node has enough free scheduling slots available. For multi-instance Tasks, this property is not supported and must not be specified.
ResourceFiles	A list of files that the Batch service will download to the Compute Node before running the command line. Files listed under this element are located in the Task's working directory. There is a maximum size for the list of resource files. When the max size is exceeded, the request will fail and the response error code will be RequestEntityTooLarge. If this occurs, the collection of ResourceFiles must be reduced in size. This can be achieved using .zip files, Application Packages, or Docker Containers.
RunExclusive	Whether the Job Manager Task requires exclusive use of the Compute Node where it runs. If true, no other Tasks will run on the same Node for as long as the Job Manager is running. If false, other Tasks can run simultaneously with the Job Manager on a Compute Node. The Job Manager Task counts normally against the Compute Node's concurrent Task limit, so this is only relevant if the Compute Node allows multiple concurrent Tasks. The default value is true.
UserIdentity	The user identity under which the Job Manager Task runs. If omitted, the Task runs as a non-administrative user unique to the Task.
