[Users] SimFactory placeholder macros

Hi,

I have been following this document, https://einsteintoolkit.org/seminars/2022_02_24/index.html , to set up ET on my cluster, working also on some example configuration files.

While preparing the submit and run scripts, I wanted to check the description of the @FOO@ macros that SimFactory uses.

I checked these places but found no information.

  *
https://simfactory.bitbucket.io/simfactory2/userguide/ (no mention of macros)
  *
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simulation_Factory_Advanced_Tutorial (1 mention of the @USER@ macro and a pointer to a section #Macros<https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simulation_Factory_Advanced_Tutorial#Macros> that seems missing)
  *
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Configuring_a_new_machine (there is no information on the submitscript and runscript)

So I would like to ask:

If e.g. I have this line in my submitscript:
#SBATCH -A @ALLOCATION@

Where is @ALLOCATION@ "read" from?

My guess is that this is specified in the .ini file in this line:
allocation = <project_account>

Could you confirm if this is the case?

Is there another source of documentation (that I might have missed) describing what these @FOO@ placeholders do?

Best regards,
Panagiotis
