Description ARC Admins 2020-04-23 11:30:42 MDT

Hello,

Is there a way to modify the billing tres of a completed job?

We charge for our jobs on a monthly basis by using the data output from `sreport -nP -T billing cluster AccountUtilizationByUser`

In short, we want to offer a "refund" by setting the jobs charge to 0.

Thanks, as always.

David

David, 

The short answer to your question is no. We do not support modifying most job data after it has completed. It should be an accurate record of what happened.

I have looked into other avenues to achieve: It would be better to set the TRESBillingWeights on the partition where you would like different values billed. This would be the desired way to modify these values since modifying these values after job completion is not possible.

Scott,

Thanks. To be clear, we do have TRESBillingWeights set on our partitions, and that's how we are charging for jobs/
