Maximum size of a job array
A large job array allows a user to submit a large number of jobs to the system with a
single job submission.
By default, the maximum number of jobs in a job array is 1000, which means the
maximum size of a job array can never exceed 1000 jobs.
To make a change to the maximum job array value, set MAX_JOB_ARRAY_SIZE in
lsb.params to any positive integer between 1 and 2147483646. The maximum
number of jobs in a job array cannot exceed the value set by
MAX_JOB_ARRAY_SIZE.
