JobDescriptionFile - Name of XML job description file for Microsoft Windows HPC Server scheduler

Description

The XML file specified by the JobDescriptionFile property defines the base state from which the job is created.

Any job properties that are specified as part of MATLAB job objects (e.g., MinimumNumberOfWorkers, MaximumNumberOfWorkers, etc., for parallel or MATLAB pool jobs) override the values specified in the job description file. Scheduler properties (e.g., nonempty JobTemplate property) also override the values specified in job description file.

For SOA jobs the values in the job description file are ignored.

For version 2 of Windows HPC Server 2008, the values for HPC Server job properties specified in the job description file must be compatible with the values in the job template that is applied to the job (either the default job template or the job template specified by the JobTemplate property). Incompatibilities between property values specified by the job description file and the job template might result in an error when you submit a job. For example, if the job template imposes property restrictions that you violate in your job description file, you get an error.
