how to retrieve a job information LSF archive

Question

We execute our job application through bsub command in Linux OS. when the job completes, what is the command to retrieve the job information from the LSF archive. i know there is command like bacct jobNo. But it does not retrieve the information. Please help.

Answer 1

bacct retrieves summary information about sets of finished jobs for the purposes of accounting -- it gives you info like average turnaround time, resource usage etc.

I think what you might be looking for is bhist -l <jobid>, which will give you the historical information about that job's submission and execution (similar to bjobs -l but more detailed and works for jobs that finished long ago).
