Getting LSF runtime attributes while running a scheduled batch flow/job

macrobo — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 12:52:05 GMT

Hello all,

we are using LSF and Automic schedulers in 2 different SAS 9.4 DI environments.

In the environment using Automic it is possible to get some Automic Runtime attributes form automatic macro variables created while running a batch job:

run_id = %sysget(AUTOMIC_RUN_ID);
load_id = %sysget(AUTOMIC_LOAD_ID);
load_name = %sysget(AUTOMIC_LOAD_NAME);

Is there a possibility to get Runtime attributes while running a flow/job scheduled with LSF as automatic macro variables?

LSF Runtime Attibutes

Any suggestions or other ideas? Thank you.

Robert

Hi @macrobo

This is possible in LSF too. We use the following code, which is a snippet from a macro that is executed at start of every batchjob.

%* collect information from actual job running under LSF;
%let ExecutionServer = %lowcase(&syshostname).odknet.dk;
%let ProcessID = &sysJobID;
%let LSB_UserID = %upcase(&sysuserid);
%let LSB_SourceFile = %sysfunc(getoption(sysin));
%let LSB_JobName = %sysget(LSB_JOBNAME);
%let LSB_flow = %scan(&LSB_JobName,3,%str(:));
%let LSB_FlowID = %scan(&LSB_JobName,1,%str(:));
%let LSB_Job = %scan(%scan(&LSB_JobName,4,%str(:)),1,%str({));
%let LSB_JobID = %sysget(LSB_JOBID);

Note that not all values are from LSF, but are collected here to come in the same "group" og macro variables for further use.
