Allow resource limit ELIGIBLE_PEND_JOBS usage for APPS

I would like to have a limit ELIGIBLE_PEND_JOBS for the consumer APPS. The reason is an application which needs licenses from a license server. In case of many simultanously dispatched jobs the license server overloads. Up to now the resource limit ELIGIBLE_PEND_JOBS is only usable for queues or for users in lsb.resources.

    Have you considered setting LSB_MAX_JOB_DISPATCH_PER_SESSION to throttle the number of jobs starting?

    Have you considered using license scheduler to control the dispatch of licensed applications? This would ensure that dispatch only happens when licenses are available.
