Deprecate License Scheduler DYNAMIC setting and support RUSAGE DURATION natively

Currently License Scheduler does not support jobs that use a DURATION on a license reservation in either Fast Dispatch or Cluster Mode. We would prefer that License Scheduler follow LSF properly in all three modes, and deprecate/remove the DYNAMIC setting entirely from License Scheduler. The new behavior would be: 1) If a user places a reservation on a token, mark as RESERVED when not in use. 2) If a user places a reservation on a token with an DURATION, mark as RESERVED until the either the token is checked out, or the reservation expires 3) If a users reservation has expired and the user subsequently checks out a token, mark the license use as OTHERS in license scheduler. 4) If a user does not place a reservation on a token and subsequently checks out a token, mark as OTHERS in license scheduler.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    IBM has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented at this time, has been open an extended time without gaining community support or does not align with our current strategy or roadmap. If you would prefer that IBM re-evaluate this decision, please open a new Idea.
