Why Use JSDL?

The Job Submission Description Language (JSDL) provides a convenient format for

describing job requirements. You can save a set of job requirements in a JSDL XML

file, and then reuse that file as needed to submit jobs to LSF.

For detailed information about JSDL, see the "Job Submission Description

Language (JSDL) Specification" at

http://www.gridforum.org/documents/GFD.56.pdf.

Using JSDL Files with LSF

LSF complies with the JSDL specification by supporting most valid JSDL elements

and POSIX extensions. The LSF extension schema allows you to use LSF features

not included in the JSDL standard schema.

The following sections describe how LSF supports the use of JSDL files for job

submission.

Where to find the JSDL schema files

The JSDL schema (jsdl.xsd), the POSIX extension (jsdl-posix.xsd), and the

LSF extension (

jsdl-lsf.xsd) are located in the LSF_LIBDIR directory.

Supported JSDL and POSIX extension elements

The following table maps the supported JSDL standard and POSIX extension

elements to LSF submission options.

NOTE: For information about how to specify JSDL element types such as range values, see the

"Job Submission Description Language (JSDL) Specification" at
