IBM® Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 556895 Readme File

Abstract

P103841. This fix prevents a core dump when using the brun command with egroup and pre-execution scripts.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM® Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 556895 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

When a user uses the brun command to run a job that belongs to a share account and the job fails because of the pre-execution environment, the job is re-dispatched. If the share account is removed through the egroup update, this job's share account is not updated correctly, which causes a core dump.
