PROC_RESOURCES

Process types define a set of base resources to use. There may be a process that needs additional resources in addition to those specified in the process type. FBSNG allows for user processes to specify additional processes using the PROC_RESOURCES JDF field. This tells FBSNG what resources to use for each process in addition to those defined for the process type being used (either the default process type for the queue the job was submitted to or the overridden process type given by the PROC_TYPE JDF field discussed above). If the resource specified in the PROC_RESOURCES field is already defined in the process type being used for this job, then this value will override the value of the process type provided that the resource usage specified is greater than that defined in the process type. In other words, it is not possible to specify 50 units of a resource called cpu if the process type being used is defined such that it uses 75 units of cpu.

The format of the specified resources is:

  resource1:n resource2:m ...

For example, assume that a job is to be submitted that to specify 22 units of a resource named BWO and 18 units of a resource named PMD would be coded as follows:

  PROC_RESOURCES=BWO:22 PMD:18
