EVALUATE_JOB_DEPENDENCY=integer
Set the maximum number of job dependencies mbatchd evaluates in one scheduling cycle. This parameter limits the amount of time mbatchd spends on evaluating job dependencies in a scheduling cycle, which limits the amount of time the job dependency evaluation blocks services. Job dependency evaluation is a process that is used to check if each job's dependency condition is satisfied. When a job's dependency condition is satisfied, it sets a ready flag and allows itself to be scheduled by mbschd.
When EVALUATE_JOB_DEPENDENCY is set, a configured number of jobs are evaluated. Not all the dependency satisfied jobs may be set to READY status in the same session. Therefore, jobs intended to be dispatched in one scheduling session may be dispatched in different scheduling sessions.
Also, the job dependency evaluation process starts from the last evaluation end location, so it may prevent some dependency satisfied jobs that occur before the end location from being set to READY status in that particular session. This may cause one job to be dispatched before another when the other was ready first. LSF starts the job dependency evaluation from the endpoint in the next session. LSF evaluates all dependent jobs every 10 minutes regardless of the configuration for EVALUATE_JOB_DEPENDENCY.
