requiredslots not updating in azurebatch

Question

How to set requiredslots in batch?

var standaloneTask = {
id: 'standalone',
commandLine: 'bash -c "$SW/standalone.sh"',
requiredSlots: 2, // does not reflect, always shows 1
userIdentity: {
autoUser: {
elevationLevel: 'admin'
}
},
};
return batchClient.task.add(jobid, standaloneTask).then(function (result) {
return batchClient.task.add(jobid, nexusTask).catch((err) => {
console.log(err)
});

Thanks for confirming on the nodejs part. There was a change and the old NodeJS-specific libraries are deprecated. The ones you should be using for Batch are @azure/arm-batch (for ARM calls to accounts, pools, etc) and @azure/batch for direct calls to the Batch service (Jobs, Tasks, etc)

I believe the old azure-arm-batch and azure-batch packages point to this codebase, which is deprecated: https://github.com/azure/azure-sdk-for-node the ones starting with @azure point here: https://github.com/azure/azure-sdk-for-js

Also, please try upgrading the library and see if that helps.

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

Looks like you are using the Javascript SDK, I would request you to check and make sure you are using a recent version that supports the requiredSlots property. Anything 10.0.1 or above should have this property (10.1.0 is the most recent).

Please refer this document once.

CloudTask task = new CloudTask(taskId, taskCommandLine)  
{  
    RequiredSlots = 2  
};  
  
{  
  "id": "taskId",  
  "commandLine": "bash -c 'echo hello'",  
  "userIdentity": {  
    "autoUser": {  
      "scope": "task",  
      "elevationLevel": "nonadmin"  
    }  
  },  
  "requiredSLots": 2  
}  

Hope this helps.
