Updating LSF configurations

LSF configurations can be updated in the database in two ways:

• With APIs that have abstracted configuration category names that bring together parameters from different LSF configuration files based on what they apply to such as clusterparameters, resources, hosts, queues, etc.
• With APIs named to represent the LSF configuration files.

You can only modify a subset of LSF parameters through the abstracted configuration APIs. For a list of parameters you can modify with these APIs see LSF Parameters you can modify with the abstracted configuration categories. To modify other parameters, use the file-based LSF configuration APIs. The file-based configuration APIs support time-based configuration and are compatible with the LSF live configuration feature.

The following diagram illustrates the relationship between the abstracted category configuration APIs, the file-based LSF configuration APIs, and the LSF configuration files.
