[Condor-users] jobs match, but prefer another specific job despite its worse user-priority

["Frazer, Durban A" <DurbanFrazer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How can I setup condor so that the user with the better priority always gets to run their job first?

 

 

We have a problem where:

 

User A submits 100s of jobs and fills the pool repeatedly.

After user A submits another set of jobs to the pool, user B submits their first job.

After user B submits their job, but while all servers are busy, user  A submits another batch of jobs.

 

User A’s first set of jobs will complete, and her second set of jobs will start, and user B’s job will not start.

 

Running condor_analyze on user B’s job shows:

 

8 match, but prefer another specific job despite its worse user-priority

 

 

Why is user A able to continue to get their jobs to start, even though user B has a better priority?

 

How can I change this so that the user with the better priority always gets to run their job first?

 

 

 

We are using condor 6.7.19

 

Thanks,

Durban
