[HTCondor-users] ExitCode persistence in held job

[Michael Pelletier <michael.v.pelletier@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to use periodic release to release a job after a time delay when the ExitCode from the process is EX_TEMPFAIL. However, it appears that at some point the ExitCode attribute no longer exists, so the periodic release never triggers.

At what point does the job lose the ExitCode attribute?

It looks like by setting the on_exit_hold_subcode to ExitCode, it can be preserved, and I think that gives me a workaround to accomplish the self-release, but I'm wondering what the boundaries of the ExitCode attribute are.
