JDF File

The Job Description File (JDF) is the only argument supplied to the fbs submit command. It contains all information needed by FBSNG to execute user processes on the farm. The JDF is composed of one or more sections. Each section is defined with SECTION line that has a unique label, and contains fields that FBSNG uses to determine how and where to run your process. Detailed syntax and semantics of JDF file are explained in FBSNG API Programmer's Manual. Each field is specified as follows:
