Re: [HTCondor-users] DAGMAN MaxIdle

[Cole Bollig <cabollig@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stefano,

The MaxIdle option applies a threshold on a per DAG basis such that DAGMan does not place any more jobs to the AP when DAGMan's internal counts of job states is greater than or equal to the threshold. Jobs not associated with the DAG do not apply to the DAGs MaxIdle threshold. Note that this functionality works best when the nodes in the DAG contain a single job but does still apply when nodes contain a list of jobs.

Dear experts,

with ref. to -MaxIdle option in
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/man-pages/condor_submit_dag.html__;!!Mak6IKo!KxdMMWF__p97RDGMIoHNM2mSGlKkHymJtOiUw1IMjxz4AkWa-483kWB_WuHLneosckRI6tJU0P0KFqI_nzCVHmYg4UHIdg$

does the "maximum number of idle jobs allowed" refer to jobs from this
DAG or overall jobs in the AP from all possible submitters ?

I read the following MaxJobs as referring to nodes of this particular
DAG instead,
please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

Stefano
