OAR documentation

Please understand that the documentation provided here, even the users documentation, targets administrators of infrastructures using OAR, NOT final users. Since OAR allows many customizations, making any installation very specific (resources definition, job queues and scheduling policies, job admission rules, job types, etc.), users of any infrastructure (e.g. an HPC cluster) managed by OAR are advised to refer to the documentation of their infrastructure , which hopefully provides some more relevant information regarding their usage of OAR.

Having considered the above note. please find the general documentation of OAR 2.5 at:

Please, see also the release notes of the OAR versions.

And also the man pages of the OAR commands (readable from any command line terminal).

Finally, see also the tips presented in this page in the following section
