bjdepinfo

Displays job dependencies.

Synopsis

bjdepinfo [-r level] [-l] [-p] job_ID | "job_ID[index]"

bjdepinfo -c [-r level] job_ID | "job_ID[index]"

bjdepinfo [-h] [-V]

Description

The command bjdepinfo displays all or selected job dependencies. You can get a list of other jobs that a job depends on (parent jobs) and jobs that depend on your job (child jobs). The command can also show if the job dependency condition was not satisfied.

Note:

The parent-child relationship does not indicate that one or more jobs are created by other jobs. A job dependency is when the start of a job depends on the status of other jobs.

Options

job_ID | "job_ID[index]"

Required. Job ID of the job or job array on which to operate.

If you specify only a job ID for a job array, information about all jobs in the array is displayed.

Displays all jobs that this job depends on.

-r level

When combined with -p, prints the parent jobs that cause the current job to pend recursively.

When combined with -c, prints the child jobs that depend on the current job recursively.

When combined with -l, prints detailed parent job dependency information recursively. When combined with -l and -p, prints detailed information about the parent jobs that cause the current job to pend recursively.

In each case, you can specify the level by using a positive integer. Level indicates the number of degrees of separation from the original job.

For example, specify level 1 to see any jobs that directly depend on this job or that this job depends on. Specify level 2 if you also want to see all dependencies on the jobs that have a dependency on the originally specified job.

If the job was partially cleaned, an asterisk (*) is displayed before the status, and the job name is unavailable (-).

-l

For the job that you specify, shows the detailed parent job dependency information, including the condition of the job and whether a job’s dependency requirements were satisfied.

-p

Shows the parent jobs that cause the current job to pend.

-c

Shows any child jobs of the job you specify and as any dependencies they have.

-h

Prints command usage to stderr and exits.

-V

Prints LSF release version to stderr and exits.

Output

JOBID: The job ID of the job with a parent or child dependency.
PARENT: The job ID of the job that has other dependent jobs.
CHILD: The job ID of the job that depends on other jobs.
PARENT_STATUS: The status of the parent job listed. If the job was partially cleaned, an asterisk (*) is displayed before the status, and the job name is unavailable (-).
CHILD_STATUS: The status of the child job listed.
PARENT_NAME: The name of the parent job listed. If the job was partially cleaned, an asterisk (*) is displayed before the status, and the job name is unavailable (-).
CHILD_NAME: The name of the child job listed.
LEVEL: The degrees of separation of job dependencies. 1 means that a job is directly dependent; other numbers indicate the levels of indirect dependency.
