Overview

Altair SLC Hub provides a command line tool: hubcli

The hubcli command enables you to administer Altair SLC Hub from the command line, authenticate with Altair SLC Hub and for batch jobs to be submitted and monitored. The batch jobs can consist of a number of different types of workload:

  • SAS language programs
  • Shell scripts (Linux bash, PowerShell, Windows BAT)
  • Program from an Altair SLC Hub package stored in an Altair SLC Hub artefact repository.

This guide contains the following information:

  • How to use hubcli covering how to create connections to Hub instances, login to an instance and managing roles, groups, and users in a Hub instance.
  • A reference of available hubcli commands.

Installation

The hubcli command line tool is provided as a single standalone executable. The executable is distributed in the form of a Windows zip file or Linux tar.gz file. This can be installed anywhere on any host, and has no dependency on any other parts of Altair SLC Hub.

In a Altair SLC Hub instance, it is recommended the batch job submission host is separate from the Hub workers hosts. The Altair SLC Hub workload scheduler works best when there are no other Hub workloads running on the worker machine.
