Application Details

Description : Stata is a commercial statistical package, which provides a complete solution for data analysis, data management, and graphics.
Versions : Stata/SE/14.1.0, Stata/SE/15.0, Stata/SE/17.0
Module names : stata/SE/14.1.0, stata/SE/15.0, stata/SE/17.0
License: University of Hull, Viper usage is restricted to two concurrent seats. When using Stata/SE on Viper you must request the appropriate license either from the command line (interactive session) or as part of your batch script (batch mode), see below:

License

There are two licenses for Stata/SE that have been made available on Viper. In order to ensure correct license usage, it is important to request a license as detailed in the usage examples below. If no licenses are available, a job will be held pending until a license becomes available, with squeue showing a pend reason of (Licenses):

               JOBID     PARTITION NAME       USER     ST       TIME  NODES NODELIST(REASON)
               2521112   compute   Statajob4  username PD       0:00      1 (Licenses)
               2531111   compute   Statajob3  username PD       0:00      1 (Licenses)
               2531110   compute   Statajob2  username R        2:48      1 c171
               2531109   compute   Statajob1  username R        4:48      1 c171

You can check on current license usage by running the following command:

[username@login01 ~]$ scontrol show lic
LicenseName=statase
    Total=2 Used=1 Free=1 Remote=no

Usage Examples

Executables

Executable	Description
stata-se	Non-graphical Stata/SE designed for large databases, which can be used interactively through the terminal, or be used to run tasks automatically with the batch flag -b and a Stata do file.
stata	Non-graphical Stata/IC which is the standard version of Stata. Note: For better performance and support for larger databases, stata-se should be used.
xstata-se	Graphical version of Stata/SE, which can be used interactively in a similar working environment to Windows and Mac versions.
xstata	Graphical version of Stata/IC which is the standard version of Stata. Note: For better performance and support for larger databases, xstata-se should be used.

Interactive

When running Stata/SE interactively, it is important to request the appropriate license by starting an interactive session in the following way:

[username@login01 ~]$ interactive -L statase:1

Interactive with full graphical interface:

[username@login01 ~]$ interactive -L statase:1
salloc: Granted job allocation 289661
Job ID 289661 connecting to c174, please wait...
Last login: Thu Jan 26 12:59:11 2017 from 10.254.5.246
[username@c174 ~]$ module add stata/SE/14.1.0
[username@c174 ~]$ xstata-se

Interactive with command line only:

[username@login01 ~]$ interactive -L statase:1
salloc: Granted job allocation 289663
Job ID 289663 connecting to c170, please wait...
Last login: Thu Jan 26 12:59:11 2017 from 10.254.5.246
