RTM's gridparams binary misses many 'bparams -l -a' options

It's important for cross cluster auditing that the RTM system includes all 'bparams -l -a' output. Today, there are several of these options that are not captured making the auditing of cluster configuration via RTM incomplete. Having written the original gridparams command, closing this gap should be fairly strait forward. Someone simply needs the assignment. It would be nice if RTM would mark these PARAM's "DEPRECATED" as LSF evolves and plans to remove them, or recommends that users not leverage them. Below is the list of the missing parameters: Param Name: FY_START Param Name: MAX_JOB_ATTA_SIZE Param Name: SHARED_RESOURCE_UPDATE_FACTOR Param Name: NQS_REQUESTS_FLAGS Param Name: NQS_QUEUES_FLAGS Param Name: FWD_JOB_FACTOR Param Name: LOCAL_MAX_PREEXEC_RETRY_ACTION Param Name: SYSTEM_MAPPING_ACCOUNT Param Name: NO_PREEMPT_RUN_TIME Param Name: NO_PREEMPT_FINISH_TIME Param Name: MAX_ACCT_ARCHIVE_FILE Param Name: CHUNK_JOB_DURATION Param Name: ACCT_ARCHIVE_TIME Param Name: JOB_POSITION_CONTROL_BY_ADMIN Param Name: DETECT_IDLE_JOB_AFTER Param Name: EVENT_UPDATE_INTERVAL Param Name: DEFAULT_APPLICATION Param Name: ENABLE_EVENT_STREAM Param Name: ENABLE_DEFAULT_EGO_SLA Param Name: SLA_TIMER Param Name: MBD_EGO_TIME2LIVE Param Name: MBD_EGO_CONNECT_TIMEOUT Param Name: MBD_EGO_READ_TIMEOUT Param Name: MBD_USE_EGO_MXJ Param Name: MBD_EGO_RECLAIM_BY_QUEUE Param Name: GLOBAL_EXIT_RATE Param Name: DEFAULT_SLA_VELOCITY Param Name: JOB_RUNLIMIT_RATIO Param Name: DEFAULT_JOBGROUP Param Name: PREEMPT_JOBTYPE Param Name: MAX_JOB_PREEMPT Param Name: MAX_JOB_REQUEUE Param Name: EXPIRED_TIME Param Name: COMPUTE_UNIT_TYPES Param Name: EXTEND_JOB_EXCEPTION_NOTIFY Param Name: PREEXEC_EXCLUDE_HOST_EXIT_VALUES Param Name: NO_PREEMPT_INTERVAL Param Name: MAX_TOTAL_TIME_PREEMPT Param Name: BCONF_DUPLICATE_UNIX_UG Param Name: PREEMPT_DELAY Param Name: JOB_PREPROC_TIMEOUT Param Name: ALLOW_EVENT_TYPE Param Name: RUNTIME_LOG_INTERVAL Param Name: GROUP_PEND_JOBS_BY Param Name: PENDING_TIME_RANKING Param Name: REMOVE_HUNG_JOBS_FOR Param Name: XL_RES_RATIO Param Name: XL_RES_UPDATE_INTERVAL Param Name: EVALUATE_JOB_DEPENDENCY Param Name: ORPHAN_JOB_TERM_GRACE_PERIOD Param Name: FWD_PEND_JOB_FACTOR Param Name: SCHEDULER_THREADS Param Name: BJOBS_RES_REQ_DISPLAY Param Name: DEFAULT_JOB_CWD Param Name: JOB_CWD_TTL Param Name: ENABLE_DIAGNOSE Param Name: DIAGNOSE_LOGDIR Param Name: EGROUP_UPDATE_INTERVAL Param Name: MC_RESOURCE_MATCHING_CRITERIA Param Name: SCHED_PER_JOB_SORT Param Name: DEFAULT_JOB_OUTDIR Param Name: BSWITCH_MODIFY_RUSAGE Param Name: RESIZABLE_JOBS Param Name: EGO_SLOTBASED_VELOCITY_SLA Param Name: RELEASE_MEM_FOR_SUSP_JOBS Param Name: STRIPING_WITH_MINIMUM_NETWORK Param Name: MAX_PROTOCOL_INSTANCES Param Name: JOB_DISTRIBUTE_ON_HOST Param Name: DEFAULT_RESREQ_ORDER Param Name: CLEAN_PERIOD_DONE Param Name: POWER_SUSPEND_TIMEOUT Param Name: PERFORMANCE_THRESHOLD_FILE Param Name: MAX_CONCURRENT_QUERY Param Name: POWER_STATUS_LOG_MAX Param Name: POWER_ON_WAIT Param Name: POWER_SUSPEND_CMD Param Name: POWER_RESUME_CMD Param Name: POWER_RESET_CMD Param Name: SECURE_JOB_INFO_LEVEL Param Name: ENABLE_JOB_INFO_BY_ADMIN_ROLE Param Name: SECURE_INFODIR_USER_ACCESS Param Name: MAX_JOB_PREEMPT_RESET Param Name: ADAPTIVE_CHUNKING Param Name: MC_SORT_BY_SUBMIT_TIME Param Name: ESTIMATOR_MAX_TIME_PREDICTION Param Name: ESTIMATOR_MAX_JOBS_PREDICTION Param Name: ESTIMATOR_MAX_RUNTIME_PREDICTION Param Name: ESTIMATOR_SIM_START_INTERVAL Param Name: ESTIMATOR_CPUS Param Name: ELIGIBLE_PENDINFO_SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL Param Name: JOB_INFO_MEMORY_CACHE_SIZE Param Name: JOB_INFO_EVENT_DUMP_INTERVAL Param Name: RELAX_JOB_DISPATCH_ORDER Param Name: JOB_ARRAY_EVENTS_COMBINE Param Name: MAX_JOB_RESERVED Param Name: EVALUATE_JOB_DEPENDENCY_TIMEOUT Param Name: DEFAULT_BWAIT_TIMEOUT Param Name: EVALUATE_WAIT_CONDITION_TIMEOUT Param Name: MAX_PEND_SLOTS Param Name: EADMIN_TRIGGER_INTERVAL Param Name: PERSIST_LIVE_CONFIG Param Name: ALLOCATION_PLANNER Param Name: PLAN Param Name: AR_RUNLIMIT_CHECK Param Name: AR_AVAILABLE_STATUS Param Name: ESTIMATED_RUNTIME Param Name: ENFORCE_SECURE_PATH Param Name: RC_MAX_REQUESTS Param Name: GPU_RUN_TIME_FACTOR Param Name: ENABLE_GPU_HIST_RUN_TIME Param Name: CSM_VALID_SMT Param Name: DOCKER_IMAGE_AFFINITY Param Name: GPU_REQ_MERGE Param Name: SAME_JOB_AFFINITY Param Name: SIMPLIFIED_GUARANTEE Param Name: RSV_PREFER_GPU_HOSTS Param Name: JOB_DISPATCH_PACK_SIZE Param Name: ROUNDUP_DIGITS Param Name: RESCHED_UPON_CSM_SETUP_ERROR Param Name: GLOBAL_LIMITS

    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.
