Platform LSF Administration Guide Version 6.2

What’s New in Platform LSF Version 6.1
Administering Platform LSF
30
To manage interactive (non-LSF) tasks in License Scheduler projects, you
require the LSF Task Manager, taskman. The Task Manager utility is
supported by but not shipped with License Scheduler. For more
information about taskman, contact Platform.
Set the ALLOCATION keyword in the Features section of
lsf.licensescheduler. This feature ignores the global setting of the
ENABLE_INTERACTIVE parameter because ALLOCATION is configured
for the feature. For example:
Begin Feature
NAME = ApplicationX
DISTRIBUTION = LicenseServer1 (project1 1)
ALLOCATION = project1 (Cluster1 1 Cluster2 1 interactive
1)
End Feature

and emails sent for all events, including when a cube or report is built.

multiple clusters.
