Assigns the specified name to the job, and, for job arrays, specifies the indices of the job array and optionally the maximum number of jobs that can run at any given time.
properties
The job name does not need to be unique and can contain up to 4094 characters.
To specify a job array, enclose the index list in square brackets, as shown, and enclose the entire job array specification in quotation marks, as shown. The index list is a comma-separated list whose elements have the syntax [start-end[:step]] where start, end and step are positive integers. If the step is omitted, a step of one is assumed. By default, the job array index starts at one.
By default, the maximum number of jobs in a job array is 1000, which means the maximum size of a job array (that is, the maximum job array index) can never exceed 1000 jobs.
To change the maximum job array value, set MAX_JOB_ARRAY_SIZE in lsb.params to any positive integer between 1 and 2147483646. The maximum number of jobs in a job array cannot exceed the value set by MAX_JOB_ARRAY_SIZE.
You may also use a positive integer to specify the system-wide job slot limit (the maximum number of jobs that can run at any given time) for this job array.
All jobs in the array share the same job ID and parameters. Each element of the array is distinguished by its array index.
After a job is submitted, you use the job name to identify the job. Specify "job_ID[index]" to work with elements of a particular array. Specify "job_name[index]" to work with elements of all arrays with the same name. Since job names are not unique, multiple job arrays may have the same name with a different or same set of indices.
bsub -b 20:00 -J my_job_name my_program
Submit my_program to run after 8 p.m. and assign it the job name my_job_name.
