Description

LSF sends the job-level 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 pending time to the pending time limit, and if the job is pending for longer than this specified time limit, LSF RTM triggers the alarm and actions. This parameter works without LSF RTM, but LSF does not take any other alarm actions.

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

The 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.

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