Specifies the service class where the job is to run.
properties
If the SLA does not exist or the user is not a member of the service class, the job is rejected.
If EGO-enabled SLA scheduling is configured with ENABLE_DEFAULT_EGO_SLA in lsb.params, jobs submitted without -sla are attached to the configured default SLA.
You can use -g with -sla. All jobs in a job group attached to a service class are scheduled as SLA jobs. It is not possible to have some jobs in a job group not part of the service class. Multiple job groups can be created under the same SLA. You can submit additional jobs to the job group without specifying the service class name again. You cannot use job groups with resource-based SLAs that have guarantee goals.
Use bsla to display the properties of service classes configured in LSB_CONFDIR/cluster_name/configdir/lsb.serviceclasses (see lsb.serviceclasses) and dynamic information about the state of each service class.
