LSF_NIOS_RES_HEARTBEAT

Description

Applies only to interactive non-parallel batch jobs.

Defines how long NIOS waits before sending a message to RES to determine if the connection is still open.

Use this parameter to ensure NIOS exits when a network failure occurs instead of waiting indefinitely for notification that a job has been completed. When a network connection is lost, RES cannot communicate with NIOS and as a result, NIOS does not exit.

When this parameter is defined, if there has been no communication between RES and NIOS for the defined period of time, NIOS sends a message to RES to see if the connection is still open. If the connection is no longer available, NIOS exits.

Valid values

Any integer greater than zero

Default

Not defined

Notes

The time you set this parameter to depends how long you want to allow NIOS to wait before exiting. Typically, it can be a number of hours or days. Too low a number may add load to the system.
