"bhist -n 0 <jobid>" command shows "No matching job found" message

Troubleshooting


Problem

You are sure that you have sourced the correct LSF environment, and this job was executed in the cluster, but when searching for the job using "bhist -n 0 " command, the command output shows "No matching job found" message, indicating that the job cannot be found.

Symptom

For example:

$ . $LSF_TOP/conf/profile.lsf
$ bhist -n 0 29694722
No matching job found

Cause

By default, the "-n 0" option of "bhist" command only searches up to a maximum of 100 lsb.events* files, i.e. lsb.events.[1-99] and lsb.events. If the job ID of interest is located inside lsb.events.100 and above, the "bhist" command with "-n 0" option would not be able to find it.

Resolving The Problem

In order to search for a job which is not inside the first 100 lsb.events* file, you can customize the "-n" option of "bhist" command to search in more than 100 lsb.events* files. For example:

$ bhist -n 150 29694722
No matching job found
$ bhist -n 200 29694722
JOBID    USER  JOB_NAME  PEND  PSUSP   RUN     USUSP   SSUSP   UNKWN   TOTAL
29694722 user1 sleepjob  22420 0       368     0       0       0       22788
