Re: [HTCondor-users] Jobs starting on HOLD

[Zach Miller <zmiller@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, this is expected.

For "remote" submissions (or more specifically, anything where the input data is spooled) the job is submitted on hold until all the input data has been transferred.  It then goes to the Idle state where it can be matched and executed.
