Increase max export rows for RTM

The default maximum number of rows RTM can export to Excel is 50k. It's possible to increase this (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/modify-number-export-rows-you-can-set-rtm-console), but would be nice to have a larger option built into RTM.

Add Effective Memory Utilization to All Statistics Tables

RTM maintains a consistent set of ETL's across multiple dimensions. It is the same table structure for all of these ETL's. However, a key metric is missing from the ETL's and it's the effective memory utilization. In other words sum(max_memory) /s...

When a Benchmark job fails It would be nice to see the bsub used to submit the job

We can manually construct the actual bsub, but it would be nice to be able to cut and paste it when editing the Benchmark job so we can test that it actually will work. In one case we were getting "Queue Permission Errors" and it having that bsub ...

Allow RTM to show jobs 'submitted' between ranges from job details page

We are in the middle of a bench-marking activity and it occurred to me that there is now way to say in RTM show me jobs that were submitted between these two dates. It would be helpful to have that filter available.

PSUSP jobs need JOB_CONTROLS

Users need notifications when jobs are PSUSP due to pre-exec failures, and JOB_CONTROLS do not work because the job isn't RUN when it is suspended. We also need a tunable parameter to have these jobs killed after some amount of time.

Ability to easily load missing LSF event streams and LSF accounting data

The License Scheduler is unable to correctly identify the INUSE and RESERVE values of requested tokens (e.g. rusage[MYTOKEN=4], when more than one jobs run on the same server by the same user. Possible solution:This could be solved, if the License...
