    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Himanshu,<br>
      <br>
              I'm glad to know the multiple actors work for you know.<br>
      <br>
              About workflow execution on PBS, you can run workflows
      without PBS-specific actors like GenericJobLauncher. It means you
      have to take care of job submission by yourself. What I normally
      do for it is that write a job script file and use job submission
      command to submit the script file to PBS. The main part in the job
      script file will be kepler execution command line. You can find
      more about it at
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://kepler-project.org/developers/reference/executing-kepler-from-the-command-line">https://kepler-project.org/developers/reference/executing-kepler-from-the-command-line</a>.
      You can first try the command locally. <br>
      <br>
              Note that the display actors, such as 'Display' and 'Image
      Display',  normally won't display their content when running on a
      computing node in a cluster. We implemented '
      <meta charset="utf-8">
      redirectgui' option in Kepler. But it was not released in kepler
      2.3. If you want to use it, you have to use kepler trunk version.<br>

            <div>yes, I was referring the same tutorial link. As per
