Description

TRACK_ELIGIBLE_PENDINFO=Y must be defined in the lsb.params file to use the bsub -eptl option.

LSF sends the job-level eligible pending time limit configuration to IBM® Spectrum LSF RTM (LSF RTM), which handles the alarm and triggered actions such as user notification (for example, notifying the user that submitted the job and the LSF administrator) and job control actions (for example, killing the job). LSF RTM compares the job's eligible pending time to the eligible pending time limit, and if the job is in an eligible pending state for longer than this specified time limit, LSF RTM triggers the alarm and actions. Without LSF RTM, LSF shows the pending time limit and takes no action on the pending time limit.

In MultiCluster job forwarding mode, the job's eligible pending time limit is ignored in the execution cluster, while the submission cluster merges the job's queue-, application-, and job-level eligible pending time limit according to local settings.

The eligible pending time limit is in the form of [hour:]minute. The minutes can be specified as a number greater than 59. For example, three and a half hours can either be specified as 3:30, or 210.

To specify a pending time limit or eligible pending time limit at the queue or application level, specify the PEND_TIME_LIMIT or ELIGIBLE_PEND_TIME_LIMIT parameters in the lsb.queues or lsb.applications files.

The job-level eligible pending time limit specified here overrides any application-level or queue-level limits specified (ELIGIBLE_PEND_TIME_LIMIT in lsb.applications and lsb.queues).
