About job status notifications

Job status notifications are enabled by default. The parameter that enables or disables notifications is ENABLE_JOB_NOTIFICATION in the $GUI_CONFDIR/pmc.conf file on the IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center server.

The associated notification service is PNC, controlled with the commands pmcadmin start and pmcadmin stop.

The notifications port is set in the configuration file $GUI_CONFDIR/jvm.pnc.options.

Users can receive notifications on their desktop in IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center Desktop Client, on their mobile device when IBM Spectrum LSF mobile client is installed, and can also see them in the Workload tab, on the Workload Notifications page.

When notifications are enabled, all submission forms automatically have a Notification section, where users can set specific notifications for each submitted job.

You can also set a job notification through the command-line for jobs not submitted with IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center with the command regnotify.
