LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

You cannot lower the job ID limit, but you can raise it to 10 digits. This allows longer term

job accounting and analysis, and means you can have more jobs in the system, and the job ID

numbers will roll over less often.

LSF assigns job IDs in sequence. When the job ID limit is reached, the count rolls over, so the

next job submitted gets job ID "1". If the original job 1 remains in the system, LSF skips that

number and assigns job ID "2", or the next available job ID. If you have so many jobs in the

system that the low job IDs are still in use when the maximum job ID is assigned, jobs with

sequential numbers could have totally different submission times.

Example

MAX_JOBID=125000000

Default

999999

MAX_JOBINFO_QUERY_PERIOD

Syntax

MAX_JOBINFO_QUERY_PERIOD=integer

Description

Maximum time for job information query commands (for example, with bjobs) to wait.

When the time arrives, the query command processes exit, and all associated threads are

terminated.

If the parameter is not defined, query command processes will wait for all threads to finish.

Any positive integer greater than or equal to one (1)
