Dispatch and Run Windows<br />

Dispatch and Run Windows<br />

Both dispatch and run windows are time windows that control when <strong>LSF</strong> jobs<br />

start and run.<br />

◆ Dispatch windows can be defined in lsb.hosts. Dispatch and run<br />

windows can be defined in lsb.queues.<br />

◆ Hosts can only have dispatch windows. Queues can have dispatch<br />

windows and run windows.<br />

◆ Both windows affect job starting; only run windows affect the stopping of<br />

jobs.<br />

◆ Dispatch windows define when hosts and queues are active and inactive.<br />

It does not control job submission.<br />

Run windows define when jobs can and cannot run. While a run window<br />

is closed, <strong>LSF</strong> cannot start any of the jobs placed in the queue, or finish any<br />

of the jobs already running.<br />

◆ When a dispatch window closes, running jobs continue and finish, and no<br />

new jobs can be dispatched to the host or from the queue. When a run<br />

window closes, <strong>LSF</strong> suspends running jobs, but new jobs can still be<br />

submitted to the queue.<br />
