Configuration to modify UNIX/Windows user account mapping
behavior
You can select a preferred execution domain for a particular job. The execution domain must
be included in the LSF_USER_DOMAIN list. When you specify an execution domain, LSF
ignores the order of the domains listed in LSF_USER_DOMAIN and runs the job using the
specified domain. The environment variable LSF_EXECUTE_DOMAIN, defined in the user
environment or from the command line, defines the preferred execution domain. Once you
submit a job with an execution domain defined, you cannot change the execution domain for
that particular job.

LSF_EXECUTE_DOMAIN=domain_name
•
Specifies the domain that LSF uses to
run jobs on a Windows host
•
If LSF_USER_DOMAIN contains a list
of multiple domains, LSF tries the
LSF_EXECUTE_DOMAIN first
The following example shows the changed behavior when you define the
LSF_EXECUTE_DOMAIN.
