====== Information for the persons responsible for VECMA on particular resources ======
This page provides instructions for persons responsible for deployment and maintenance of VECMA software on resources.

===== Common directory for VECMA =====
It is required that on each resource a common directory for the VECMA project will be created and made accessible to all VECMA participants. This directory should be created with cooperation with resource admins. 

==== The VECMA directory structure ====
It is advised that on each resource the shared directory will have the same, following structure:

^ Path                        ^ Description                                           ^
| ''$VECMA_DIR/Apps''         | The directory for use by application providers        |
| ''$VECMA_DIR/Apps/App1 ''   | The directory for application App1                    |
| ''$VECMA_DIR/Apps/AppN ''   | The directory for application AppN   ...              |
| ''$VECMA_DIR/Common''       | Common stuff, possibly useful for more than one team  |
| ''$VECMA_DIR/.qcg-modules'' | The directory for VECMA Environment Modules           |

==== The locations of VECMA directories on resources: ====
^ Resource     ^ Location                           ^ MODULEPATH    ^
| Eagle        | ''/home/plgrid-groups/plggvecma/'' | ''/home/plgrid-groups/plggvecma/.qcg-modules'' |
| SuperMuc NG  |                                    |                                           |
| Bull         |                                    |                                           | 

===== Modules =====

The administrators should set up the top-level module for the VECMA project called ''vecma''. This module should configure the common settings for all VECMA participants.

When loaded, the module should set up the $VECMA_DIR environment variable that points to the shared directory.  

The module files should be put into ''$VECMA_DIR/.qcg-modules'' directory. In this way QCG will automatically load them for the QCG jobs started by the VECMA's users. 

==== Module naming conventions ====
The modules created for the VECMA project on all resources should follow the following scheme:
^ Module                      ^ Description                                           ^
| ''vecma''                   | The main module for the VECMA project. Will load basic settings               |
| ''vecma/apps/App1''         | The module for a single application (e.g. App1)                  |
| ''vecma/common/Item1''      | The module for a common software item (e.g. Item1), possibly useful for many teams |
