Hi Matt,
Thanks, I guess I completely misunderstood these attributes. I thought that they simply reorder the list of available resourcesNEGOTIATOR_PRE_JOB_RANK is the preference of a job to run on a machine which overrides the jobs rank. NEGOTIATOR_PROST_JOB_RANK is the preference of a job to run on a machine which is subordinate to the job's definition. They have no effect on which job in a queue gets to run first...
after requirements were matched.
There are no rank values in the match log so I don't really see how these expressions affect the matchmaking process.The matchlog is normally a reasonable indicator if you are willing to go back and look at the jobs which were being compared.
Cheers, Szabolcs
