You can specify the following parameters:

  • Hard Limit and Soft Limit. The hard limit and the soft limit to impose on the jobs that are running in the queue.

To change a value of a limit, click the button at the right of the field whose value you want to change. A dialog box appears where you can type either Memory or Time limit values.

Dialog box titled Memory. Shows list of memory values you can
select. Shows Ok, Cancel, and Help buttons.Dialog box titled Time. Shows Day, Hour, Minute, and Second fields.

See the queue_conf(5) and the setrlimit(2) man pages for detailed information about limit parameters and their interpretation for different operating system architectures.

Configuring Complex Resource Attributes

To configure resource attributes, click the Complex tab. The Complex tab is shown in the following figure.

Dialog box titled Modify <queue-name>. Shows Complex tab with
parameters you can set. Shows Ok, Cancel, Refresh, and Help buttons.

You can specify the following parameters:

  • Consumables/Fixed Attributes. Value definitions for selected attributes from the set of resource attributes that are available for this queue.

    The available resource attributes are assembled by default from the complex.

    Resource attributes are either consumable or fixed. The definition of a consumable value defines a capacity managed by the queue. The definition of a fixed value defines a queue-specific value. See Complex Resource Attributes for further details.

    The attributes for which values are explicitly defined are displayed in the Consumable/Fixed Attributes table. To change an attribute, select it, and then double-click the corresponding Value field.

    To add new attribute definitions, click Load or Value. The Attribute Selection dialog box appears with a list of all valid attributes that are attached to the queue. The Attribute Selection dialog box is shown in Figure 1-2.

    To add an attribute to the Load column of the attribute table, select it, and then click OK.

    To delete an attribute, select it, and then press Control-D or click mouse button 3. You are prompted to confirm that you want to delete the attribute.

See the queue_conf(5) page for detailed information about these attributes.

Use the Complex Configuration dialog box to check or modify the current complex configuration before you attach user-defined resource attributes to a queue or before you detach them from a queue. To access the Complex Configuration dialog box, click the Complex Configuration button on the QMON Main Control window. See Figure 3-1 for an example.

Configuring Subordinate Queues

To configure subordinate queues, click the Subordinates tab. The Subordinates tab is shown in the following figure.

Dialog box titled Modify <queue-name>. Shows Subordinates
tab with parameters you can set. Shows Ok, Cancel, Refresh, and Help buttons.

Use the subordinate queue facility to implement high priority and low priority queues as well as standalone queues.

You can specify the following parameters:

  • Queue. A list of the queues that are subordinated to the configured queue.

    Subordinated queues are suspended if the configured queue becomes busy. Subordinated queues are resumed when the configured queue is no longer busy.

  • Max Slots. For any subordinated queue, you can configure the number of job slots that must be filled in the configured queue to trigger a suspension. If no maximum slot value is specified, all job slots must be filled to trigger suspension of the corresponding queue.

See the queue_conf(5) man page for detailed information about these parameters.

Configuring User Access Parameters

To configure user access parameters, click the User Access tab. The User Access tab is shown in the following figure.

Dialog box titled Modify <queue-name>. Shows User Access tab
with parameters you can set. Shows Ok, Cancel, Refresh, and Help buttons.

You can specify the following parameters:

  • Available Access Lists. The user access lists that can be included in the Allow Access list or the Deny Access list of the queue.

    Users or user groups belonging to access lists that are included in the Allow Access list have access to the queue. Users who are included in the Deny Access list cannot access the queue. If the Allow Access list is empty, access is unrestricted unless explicitly stated otherwise in the Deny Access list.

To add or modify user access lists, click the button between the Available Access Lists and the Allow Access and Deny Access lists to open the User Configuration dialog box. For more information, see Configuring User Access Lists With QMON.

See the queue_conf(5) man page for detailed information about these parameters.

Configuring Project Access Parameters

To configure project access parameters, click the Project Access tab. The Project Access tab is shown in the following figure.

Dialog box titled Modify <queue-name>. Shows Project Access
tab with parameters you can set. Shows Ok, Cancel, Refresh, and Help buttons.

You can specify the following parameters:

  • Available Projects. The projects that are allowed access or denied access to the queue.

    Jobs submitted to a project belonging to the list of allowed projects have access to the queue. Jobs that are submitted to denied projects are not dispatched to the queue.

To add or modify project access, click the button between the Available Projects list and the Allow Project Access and Deny Project Access lists to open the Project Configuration dialog box. For more information, see Defining Projects With QMON.

See the queue_conf(5) man page for detailed information about these parameters.

Configuring Owners Parameters

To configure owners parameters, click the Owners tab. The Owners tab is shown in the following figure.

Dialog box titled Modify <queue-name>. Shows Owners tab with
parameters you can set. Shows Ok, Cancel, Refresh, and Help buttons.

You can specify the following parameters:

  • Owner List. The list of queue owners.

    Typically, users are set up to be owners of certain queue instances in order to allow them to suspend or disable jobs when they need to. For example, users might occasionally need certain machines for important work, and those machines might be strongly affected by jobs that are running in the background.

    Queue owners can do the following:

    • Suspend. Stop execution of all jobs running in the queue and close the queue

    • Resume. Unsuspend the queue, and then open it

    • Disable. Close the queue, but do not affect running jobs

    • Enable. Open the queue

    Jobs that are suspended explicitly while a queue is suspended are not resumed when the queue is resumed. Explicitly suspended jobs must be resumed explicitly.

    All possible user accounts can be added to the owner list. To delete a user account from the queue owner list, select it, and then click the trash can icon.

See the queue_conf(5) man page for detailed information about these parameters.
