Add additional bhist information about personnel who modified the LSF job

Enhance bhist to show who modifies the job. The information is not presented in JOB_MODIFY2 event record. Current user info in JOB_MODIFY2 is job owner and user auth for remote job in MC

Affinity support for windows compute servers

We have a mixed Linux/Windows cluster. Unfortunately the affinity string in the resource requirement is not supported on Windows. This leads to several problems: 1. jobs with affinity settings will not be dispatched to windows nodes 2. less perfor...

Create a way to prevent a job with an SLA from using another SLA's hosts/slots/memory if the other SLA is under-committed

LSF hosts come and go, and when you create an allocation that uses exact numbers, there are times when a Pool can be over and under committed. In the case of an under-committed pool today, consumers from other pools can leverage free slots from th...

bjobs should show LIMITs ( MEMLIMIT / RUNLIMIT ) from queues or applications, please improve it.

Currently LIMITs settings ( MEMLIMIT / RUNLIMIT ) from queues or applications did NOT show in "bjobs -l" output, only job-level setting did. But the LIMITs are still effective in job environment, so it may deliver wrong information to user until j...

Improve existing ZOMBI handling with regards to both SBD and MBD process flows

It will reduce the persistence of ZOMBI jobs in LSF to a shorter time period. Here are the two areas that need improvement. 1) Currently, even though the SBD daemons may be running on a host, a job will remain in ZOMBI status until the SBD is rest...
