Hi Sophie, Unfortunately no. The problem seems to be that a JDL submission runs the actual commands, whereas an API submission does it all through dirac-jobexec. The dirac-jobexec command only outputs the "Running step 1..." text to the stdout, so the peek only returns that. The real output is stored in a file on the WN and is only accessible at the end in the output sandbox. I don't see any neat workaround for that, but I will double check with the DIRAC developers.

I recently switched to using the API for job submission, rather than writing a JDL and using dirac-wms-job-submit. However, I find that when using the API the 'Peek StandardOutput', just shows some generic info about what I am running, rather than the actual output. Whereas when I used the old method I can I actually peak at my job. If I am testing or debugging, or if something is taking an unusually long time, the ability to 'Peek' was a really nice feature of the GUI. Is there a way to restore this behaviour, while still using the API to submit ?

Cheers Sophie
