About Job Requeue
About Job Requeue
A networked computing environment is vulnerable to any failure or temporary
conditions in network services or processor resources. For example, you might
get NFS stale handle errors, disk full errors, process table full errors, or network
connectivity problems. Your application can also be subject to external
conditions such as a software license problems, or an occasional failure due to
a bug in your application.
Such errors are temporary and probably will happen at one time but not
another, or on one host but not another. You might be upset to learn all your
jobs exited due to temporary errors and you did not know about it until 12
hours later.
LSF provides a way to automatically recover from temporary errors. You can
configure certain exit values such that in case a job exits with one of the values,
the job will be automatically requeued as if it had not yet been dispatched. This
job will then be retried later. It is also possible for you to configure your queue
such that a requeued job will not be scheduled to hosts on which the job had
previously failed to run.
