RTM to/from LSF communication of Psusp-requeue job notifcation

We have reproduced the issue and it's a timing issue with RTM because LSF does not provide exitinfo when job's pre-exec fails and requeued. Since RTM relies on exitinfo to put it in the correct table, the changes will have to come from LSF. This w...

LSF should store accounting data in database

The lsb.acct log file format is anachronistic and hard for customers to deal with. To get the LSF accounting data into a relational database customers have to write their own code to parse lsb.acct files (ether via custom code such as perl/python,...

badmin ckconfig with -f switch to check lsb.* files individually

When we run “badmin ckconfig” – it checks for all batch files by default.It would be great If I can check only for a certain file instead of all lsb.* files – e.g. $ badmin ckconfig -v -f lsb.queues Looking forward to such a feature.

Improve Job Priority Output to Exceed 1e6 as APS can easily increase Per Job Priority above that value

There is currently a system limitation that Job Priories above 1e6 do not display correctly when using bjobs -o "blah" formatted output. This is currently causing us a monitoring issue when attempting to order jobs with a very high dynamic priorit...

About bjobs in different clusters

Suppose there are two clusters. These two clusters are being used by one business division. However, users who submit jobs are not aware of the cluster. They don't know what cluster they're using and they don't know that they need sourcing fo...

Dynamic priority based on jobarray length

We exclusively work with jobarrays at our company. We have a queue reserved for jobs that take no more than 3 minutes. A general rule of thumb is that small jobarrays at our company can be considered as interactive jobs where the user waits for th...

bsub fairshare of users

Some users use a script which spawns a lot scripts, say 1000 scripts, tosubmit jobs to LSF synchronously. So a lot of jobs from this user submittedinto LSF and other users can not submit the jobs into LSF promptly with themessages of "Can not conn...

Create a User Interace and Process flow for API Key Generation, Approval, Use, and Revocation

We presently are evaluating Application Center's Web Services for job submission and control. However, many of our submission users are robots where the password is not known to user, but rather the users have sudo authority to submit jobs from sp...

Support Multi-threaded LIM with a Shared Memory Database for Scalability

It would be nice if LSF's LIM used a shared memory database and could accept multiple threads instead of having to constantly fork itself to return client data. The new setting to increase/decrease the LIM connection backlog was informative, but i...
