Description

Readme documentation for IBM Platform LSF 9.1.2 Fix 338790 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

bjobs shows an error message when the number of concurrent bjobs queries exceeds the value of the MAX_CONCURRENT_JOB_QUERY parameter specified in lsb.params.

This fix makes the error message configurable by adding the following new parameter in lsf.conf:

LSB_MBD_QUERY_RETRY_MSG

Syntax

LSB_MBD_QUERY_RETRY_MSG="message_string"

Description

Specifies the message displayed by the bjobs command when the number of concurrent bjobs queries exceeds the value of the MAX_CONCURRENT_JOB_QUERY parameter specified in lsb.params.

Define this parameter if you want to customize the message.

Valid values
String, either non-empty or empty.

Default
Not defined. By default, LSF displays the message "Batch system concurrent job query limit exceeded. LSF is retrying. Please wait ..."
