Automatic Job Requeue
About automatic job requeue
You can configure a queue to automatically requeue a job if it exits with a specified exit
value.
◆ The job is requeued to the head of the queue from which it was dispatched, unless
the LSB_REQUEUE_TO_BOTTOM parameter in
lsf.conf is set.
◆ When a job is requeued, LSF does not save the output from the failed run.
◆ When a job is requeued, LSF does not notify the user by sending mail.
◆ A job terminated by a signal is not requeued.
Configuring automatic job requeue
To configure automatic job requeue, set REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES in the queue
definition (
lsb.queues) and specify the exit codes that will cause the job to be
requeued.
Example Begin Queue
...
REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES = 99 100
...
End Queue
This configuration enables jobs that exit with 99 or 100 to be requeued.
