The STAR job scheduler used at PDSF is essentially identical to the one used at RCF so the  documentation provided on the STAR website applies.   The basic use of the scheduler is just like at RCF, i.e., "star-submit jobDescription.xml".  The only things that are different are:

- LSF has been replaced by SGE at PDSF and the scheduler will submit your PDSF jobs to SGE. No action by users is necessary - this is handled by the scheduler internally. Also, a special policy no longer needs to be specified, just star-submit as usual.

- In your xml file you need to specify the PDSF file catalog instead of the RCF file catalog by replacing "catalog:star.bnl.gov" with "catalog:pdsf.nersc.gov".

- The file catalog requires Redhat8.  This is not the default so you need to make a .chos file or switch to Redhat8 manually.  See the PDSF FAQ entry "how to select a file system" for details.  Also recommended are local (not AFS) STAR libraries and scheduler.  This is the default under Redhat8.

Please report problems or questions to scheduler-hn@www.star.bnl.gov or pdsf-hn@www.star.bnl.gov. Good luck!
