The dedicated queue is available only by request. The easiest way to run a job in the batch system is via a shell script. The default queue is debug. In this case, the script file is spooled by lsbatch. A batch job may be submitted any time.
Batch jobs run at all times.
All batch jobs share the scratch filesystems with no guarantees for disk space availability. Files are purged from the filesystems with the normal purge policy. Files owned by users with running jobs are not purged. Users should use the local scratch filesystem to run their jobs for best throughput. See the sample batch scripts on how to do this.
