New features

Native encoding

  • Additional support for native encoding in many job and flow fields such as job name, alarm type, and command line.

Job/job array submission script

  • You can define and submit customized job / job array submission script with bsub command and options. You can also monitor and control the jobs and job arrays that have been submitted through the customized job submission scripts. The customized job submission script can be in the form of a shell script or a batch file, depending on the host that runs JFD.

Upgrade

  • Platform LSF Process Manager 7 now runs on Platform LSF Version 7 Update 2.

Extended bsub options

Flow statistics

  • You can now view relevant flow instance information summary in Flow Manager.

Global Variables

  • You can add, edit, and remove global variables dynamically from the command line or Flow Manager.
