Platform LSF License renewal

[Sajid01]

Hello

The instructions for renewing LSF license are available at http://support.sas.com/kb/18/638.html (Thanks SAS).
They are clear and comprehensible and easy to follow.

However I have two questions

1. We normally test the success of SAS Foundation license using proc setinit; run;
    Is something like that available for LSF license?

2. Why is it necessary to source the profiles?
   While changing the license there is no change to any environment variables.

Thanks

Hi @Sajid01 

You can submit a job from command line to verify if it got successfully submitted and executed. For ex: bsub sleep 30

In-case the job fails due to license error you will find this logged in LSF log files.

You need to source the profile file for LSF so that various commands can be read in to the shell. Here is a link on what does source do - https://superuser.com/questions/46139/what-does-source-do
