Originally when submitting jobs with a data requirement (bsub -data ...) the files or folders specified would be processed by the bsub command. If there was no access to the file or folder locally the ssh command would be used. If many files or folder were specified the bsub command would seemingly hang. The Data Manager (DM) has been enhanced to move the processing to the transfer job. Now submitting jobs with a data requirement performs similarly to submitting jobs without. This behavior can be enabled or disabled by using the lsf.conf parameter LSF_DATA_BSUB_CHKSUM. If undefined or set to N the new behavior is enabled. This functionality requires LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 9 has been installed.
