DEFAULT_JOBGROUP=job_group_name
The name of the default job group.
When you submit a job to LSF without explicitly specifying a job group, LSF associates the job with the specified job group. The LSB_DEFAULT_JOBGROUP environment variable overrrides the setting of DEFAULT_JOBGROUP. The bsub -g job_group_name option overrides both LSB_DEFAULT_JOBGROUP and DEFAULT_JOBGROUP.
Default job group specification supports macro substitution for project name (%p) and user name (%u). When you specify bsub -P project_name, the value of %p is the specified project name. If you do not specify a project name at job submission, %p is the project name defined by setting the environment variable LSB_DEFAULTPROJECT, or the project name specified by DEFAULT_PROJECT in lsb.params. the default project name is default.
For example, a default job group name specified by DEFAULT_JOBGROUP=/canada/%p/%u is expanded to the value for the LSF project name and the user name of the job submission user (for example, /canada/projects/user1).
Job group names must start with a slash character (/). For example, DEFAULT_JOBGROUP=/A/B/C is correct, but DEFAULT_JOBGROUP=A/B/C is not correct.
Job group names cannot end with a slash character (/). For example, DEFAULT_JOBGROUP=/A/ is not correct.
Job group names cannot contain more than one slash character (/) in a row. For example, job group names like DEFAULT_JOBGROUP=/A//B or DEFAULT_JOBGROUP=A////B are not correct.
Job group names cannot contain spaces. For example, DEFAULT_JOBGROUP=/A/B C/D is not correct.
Project names and user names used for macro substitution with %p and %u cannot start or end with slash character (/).
Project names and user names used for macro substitution with %p and %u cannot contain spaces or more than one slash character (/) in a row.
Project names or user names containing slash character (/) will create separate job groups. For example, if the project name is canada/projects, DEFAULT_JOBGROUP=/%p results in a job group hierarchy /canada/projects.
DEFAULT_JOBGROUP=/canada/projectsNot defined. When a user submits a job without explicitly specifying job group name, and the LSB_DEFAULT_JOBGROUP environment variable is not defined, LSF does not associate the job with any job group.
