Submit a job (Deprecated)
Purpose
Deprecated since version 9.1.5. Use this API instead: Submit a job (POST).
Submits a job to IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center.
-
Precondition: the administrator has prepared and published the application.
-
For any parameter, the value specified by the web service request overrides the default value specified by the application form.
-
The job is submitted as the logged in user.
-
Just like through the web graphical interface, when you submit a job, a temporary directory is created for the job and the file you attached is copied to the directory. The owner for the directory is the user that is logged on. The directory inherits the logged on user’s umask permission on the Platform Application Center host.
