Job – Machine Characteristics
Figure 93 - Machine Characteristic Dialog
This dialog appears when you want to add or edit a machine characteristic to a Job. Machine
characteristics contain static information about the execution machine. The figure above indicates
that the job is to run on a machine equal to 300mhz in CPU speed. Machine characteristics are
used by ActiveBatch when a job is submitted to a Generic Queue and the proper Execution
Queue (machine) needs to be selected. This allows the author of a Job to indicate what minimum
runtime requirements the job has. Remember that user/machine characteristics are ignored when
a job is submitted directly to an Execution Queue.
Name: This field contains a dropdown list of the machine characteristics. The following table
provides the machine characteristics that are available (see the ReadMe file for any new
characteristics that may have been added).
