Set Up Resource Dependencies

You can set up a job's resource dependencies using the Resources page in the job definition to specify the resources the job depends on. A job can request any number of different resources.

Follow these steps:

   The Application appears in the workspace.

2. Right-click the job in the workspace, and select Edit from the pop-up menu.

   When the job is readied for submission, the server checks if the requested resources are available.
