LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

lsb.applications
The lsb.applications file defines application profiles. Use application profiles to define common parameters for
the same type of jobs, including the execution requirements of the applications, the resources they require, and how
they should be run and managed.
This file is optional. Use the DEFAULT_APPLICATION parameter in lsb.params to specify a default application
profile for all jobs. LSF does not automatically assign a default application profile.
This file is installed by default in LSB_CONFDIR/cluster_name/configdir.
Changing lsb.applications configuration
After making any changes to lsb.applications, run badmin reconfig to reconfigure
mbatchd. Configuration changes apply to pending jobs only. Running jobs are not affected.
lsb.applications structure
Each application profile definition begins with the line Begin Application and ends with the
line End Application. The application name must be specified. All other parameters are
optional.
Example
Begin Application
NAME = catia
DESCRIPTION = CATIA V5
CPULIMIT = 24:0/hostA # 24 hours of host hostA
FILELIMIT = 20000
DATALIMIT = 20000 # jobs data segment limit
CORELIMIT = 20000
PROCLIMIT = 5 # job processor limit
REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES = 55 34 78
End Application
See the lsb.applications template file for additional application profile examples.
