Why do a session's demanded, assigned, or deserved slots counts not correspond to the session's task count when viewing soamview session -a, soamview app -l, or the cluster management console output?

The demanded, assigned, and deserved slot counts are calculated at each policy scheduling cycle when a snapshot of the session is taken. Meanwhile, there are still task inputs being received from IBM® Spectrum Symphony clients and services returning completed task outputs, so the real tasks may not correspond with the calculated values based on the snapshot.

In summary, demanded, assigned, and deserved slot counts reflect the most recent scheduling cycle; and other parameters reflect live system information.
