Configure projects

The Projects section in the lsf.licensescheduler file lists the names of all license projects.

If you want to specify a distribution policy for a feature, you must define the associated license projects in the Projects section. For example, define license projects Lp1 and Lp2 in the Projects section:

Begin Projects 
PROJECTS 
Lp1 
Lp2 
End Projects

Use the defined projects to specify a distribution policy in the Feature section:

Begin Feature 
NAME = AppY 
DISTRIBUTION = LanServer1(Lp1 10/10 Lp2 5/5) 
End Feature

Projects without priority

The following Projects section in lsf.licensescheduler defines three license project names without an associated priority:

Begin Projects PROJECTS Lp1 Lp2 Lp3 End Projects

Projects with priority

If you want to use the project priority feature with license ownership policies, add a PRIORITY column and assign a priority to each project (a higher value represents a higher priority). This overrides the default behavior; instead of preempting in order the projects are listed under PROJECTS based on the accumulative usage of each project, the projects are preempted according to the specified priority from lowest to highest.

Begin Projects 
PROJECTS       PRIORITY 
Lp1             3 
Lp2             1 
Lp3             2 
default         0 
End Projects

When 2 projects have the same priority number configured, the first listed project has higher priority, like LSF queues.

Priority of default project

If not explicitly configured, the default project has the priority of 0. You can override this value by explicitly configuring the default project in Projects section with the chosen priority value.
