Hello.

I have recently experienced a problem when trying to submit a job in
the Distributed Toolbox. We are using Sun Grid Engine. Usually a
command like
sched = findResource('scheduler','type','generic') would yield
a MatlabCommandToRun property:

'matlab -dmlworker -nodisplay -r distcomp_evaluate_filetask'

but in the case of matlabr2006b it gives simply
'worker'

For matlab2006a there is no problem

Anyone got any ideas ? Is this a license issue ?

Hi Martin,

This was an intentional change - you should find the file "worker" in the
directory $MATLABROOT/bin.

Cheers,

Edric.

Hi Edric.

Thanks, but there is no worker file in my installation, either linux,
windows or solaris.
Does it come with the Distributed Computing Engine or ?

Hi Martin,

That file should be part of the MDCE installation (i.e. it should have been
installed on the cluster when you updated to R2006b there, but not on the client
where it isn't needed).

Cheers,

Edric.
