    Hi Madhavi,<br>
    <br>
        You want the workflow kar file to be executed on one node of PBS
    or schedule actors among multiple nodes of PBS?<br>
    <br>
        The current job submission support in Kepler is mainly for
    submitting separate executables to a cluster, not a workflow. Yet I
    think it will also work to use kepler.sh as executable to execute
    your workflow on one node of PBS. But you need install Kepler on
    your cluster first. I don't know there are simpler ways.<br>
    <br>
        If you want to schedule actors among multiple nodes of PBS, you
    can try Kepler master-slave module
    (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://kepler-project.org/developers/incubation/distributed-ms">https://kepler-project.org/developers/incubation/distributed-ms</a>) in
    Kepler. You need add either module master-slave-2.0
    (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/releases/release-branches/master-slave-2.0/">https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/releases/release-branches/master-slave-2.0/</a>)
    or module master-slave in trunk
    (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/master-slave/">https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/master-slave/</a>)
    into your suite. Then you need to wrap your actors to-be-distributed
    in DistributedCompositeActor in master-slave module. You also need
    start slave started on each PBS node so that this node can accept
    sub-workflow input from master. <br>

Sincerely yours
