Hi,

I'm creating a setup where the end user can choose to use LocalScheduler, or DeadlineScheduler via toggle option. Obviously I could approach this choice a number of ways but I just wanted to ask if there is a "best" way.

Complicating things slightly is that a few of the TOPs have per-node Scheduler overrides to allow me to use Deadline's grouping (see separate thread) options.

One approach is to use expressions with some if: statements that look at the toggle, and set the Default scheduler appropriately, but also "clear" the per-TOP Scheduler overrides if "LocalScheduler" is selected.

Alternatively, I can put in Switch TOPs and duplicate the nodes that require the overrides of the Deadline Scheduler and switch them out as needed.

In both cases, I don't see an alternative to an expression in the Default Scheduler of the TOP network itself.

Have I missed anything? I can get my work done with any of these, and I lean towards the Switch TOP simply because the network is clearer to parse (i.e. no expressions tucked away unexpectedly) however thought I'd ask.

This shouldn't complicate things actually. The overrides for one scheduler should not interfere with overrides for another.

I may have misspoke, I mean I'm using TOP Scheduler Override, won't that force that node to use Deadlinescheduler if Default Scheduler is LocalScheduler?

Oh I see, yes you're right about that. I think your approach makes sense.
