JOB_ATTA_DIR

Syntax

JOB_ATTA_DIR=directory

Description

The shared directory in which mbatchd saves the attached data of messages posted with the bpost command.

Use JOB_ATTA_DIR if you use bpost and bread to transfer large data files between jobs and want to avoid using space in LSB_SHAREDDIR. By default, the bread command reads attachment data from the JOB_ATTA_DIR directory.

JOB_ATTA_DIR should be shared by all hosts in the cluster, so that any potential LSF master host can reach it. Like LSB_SHAREDIR, the directory should be owned and writable by the primary LSF administrator. The directory must have at least 1 MB of free space.

The attached data will be stored under the directory in the format:

JOB_ATTA_DIR/timestamp.jobid.msgs/msg$msgindex

On UNIX, specify an absolute path. For example:

JOB_ATTA_DIR=/opt/share/lsf_work

On Windows, specify a UNC path or a path with a drive letter. For example:

JOB_ATTA_DIR=\\HostA\temp\lsf_work

JOB_ATTA_DIR=D:\temp\lsf_work

After adding JOB_ATTA_DIR to lsb.params, use badmin reconfig to reconfigure your cluster.

Valid values

JOB_ATTA_DIR can be any valid UNIX or Windows path up to a maximum length of 256 characters.

Default

Not defined

If JOB_ATTA_DIR is not specified, job message attachments are saved in LSB_SHAREDIR/info/.
