IBM® Spectrum LSF Session Scheduler 10.1 Fix 601760 Readme File

Abstract

P104978. This fix provides IBM Spectrum LSF Session Scheduler with a new command, called ssview, to show the status of all active sessions for LSF Session Scheduler jobs.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum Session Scheduler for LSF 10.1 Fix 601760 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issues:

There is a need for a way to show the status of tasks for LSF Session Scheduler jobs, similar to the bjobs command for LSF jobs.

In this fix, a new parameter, called LSB_REPORT_SSJOB_FAILURE, has been introduced in the $LSF_ENVDIR/lsf.conf file. When LSB_REPORT_SSJOB_FAILURE=Y is set, the ssview command shows more accurate task states for Session Scheduler jobs when tasks have been terminated by a signal or a non-zero exit code.
