LSB_BPEEK_REMOTE_OUTPUT

Description

If disabled (set to N), the bpeek command attempts to retrieve the job output from the local host first. If that fails, bpeek attempts to retrieve the job output from the remote host instead.

If enabled (set to Y), it is the opposite. The bpeek command attempts to retrieve the job output from the remote host first, then the local host.

When attempting to retrieve the job output from the remote host, bpeek attempts to use RES first, then rsh. If neither is running on the remote host, the bpeek command cannot retrieve job output.

Best Practices

Three directories are related to the bpeek command:

• the user’s home directory
• the JOB_SPOOL_DIR directory
• the checkpoint directory

If these directories are on a shared file system, this parameter can be disabled.

If any of these directories are not on a shared file system, this parameter should be enabled, and either RES or rsh should be started on the remote job execution host.
