Connect license checkouts to jobs

Uniquely connect the license checkouts to jobs. The idea is to put a unique value into LM_PROJECT environmental variable and then get the LM_PROJECT value via lmstat using the -lm option to display the project value. This will allow LSF, LS and RT...

bhist json format output, similar to bjobs -json

Programatically parsing bhist output takes effort and susceptible to occasional changes across versions. json format output similar to bjobs -json would ease the handling of bhist output through scripts.

Allow up to 2000 characters in TMPDIR

Some workflows require longer paths for TMPDIR.

Request is for ELIMS to be imported into LSF Simulator

Currently LSF Simulator only permits LIMS resources, not ELIMS. All LSF clusters use both LIMS and ELIMS therefore there why would Simulator only support LIMS resources and not ELIMS

Map memory reservation to cgroup memory.low

Mapping the memory reservation of a job to the cgroup memory.low could protect jobs from running short on memory, while in parallel allowing more memory to be used if it's available. The soft limit instead of a hard limit should prevent users to b...

Add job group filter to bhist

The ability to find job groups via bhist command after the jobs have been removed from memory.

bjobs -o reserved_mem or bhosts -o reserved_mem

To see how much memory is reserved on a host, we need to parse the bhosts -l <hostname> command, and it doesn't give us info about which job is reserving how much memory. I'd either like to see one of the following: bhosts -o 'jobid reserved...

Include method to build ls_sim license files to required format

For LSF clusters that employ license scheduler... During the direct importing of a cluster configuration from the LSF Cognitive GUI, or when generating a tar.gz file for importing, build the license files into the ls_sim directory automatically, o...

Set different requeue exit values for different hosts or hostgroups

Sometimes it would be helpful to set different requeue exit values for different hostgroups, something like (i.e. in lsb.applications):REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES 138 linux_hosts 210 windows_hosts 127 which would trigger a requeue for jobs exiting with va...

Increase amount of characters in job description

This enhancement would enable us to store additional job attributes within each job record, such as specific flow information. By enriching the job metadata, machine learning algorithms can leverage this information to make more informed predictio...
