Automatic job group cleanup
When an implicitly created job group becomes empty, it can be automatically
deleted by LSF. Job groups that can be automatically deleted cannot:
◆ Have limits specified including their child groups
◆ Have explicitly created child job groups
◆ Be attached to any SLA
Configure JOB_GROUP_CLEAN=Y in
lsb.params to enable automatic job group
deletion.
For example, for the following job groups:
When automatic job group deletion is enabled, LSF only deletes job groups
/X/Y/Z/W and /X/Y/Z. Job group /X/Y is not deleted because it is an explicitly
created job group, Job group
/X is also not deleted because it has an explicitly
created child job group
/X/Y.
Automatic job group deletion does not delete job groups attached to SLA service
classes. Use
bgdel to manually delete job groups attached to SLAs.
