That I don't know. I would imagine not as it doesn't touch the job
records. It just touches the totals that sshare uses to compute
fairshare. But that's just a guess on my part. We don't really use
sreport for reporting, we instead use grafana and XDMod for historic data.

Does setting RawUsage=0 for a user affect historical usage

You want this handy feature in sacctmgr:
/RawUsage/=<value>
This allows an administrator to reset the raw usage accrued to
an account. The only value currently supported is 0 (zero).
This is a settable specification only - it cannot be used as a
filter to list accounts.

Dear all,
Apologies for the basic question. I've looked around online for
an answer to this, and I haven't found anything that has helped
accomplish exactly what I want. That said, it is also probable
that what I am asking isn't a best practice, or isn't actually
necessary, etc. I'd welcome any advice.
My question is, how can I reset a user's FairShare number?
Specifically, I'm asking about the last column displayed by
default when typing: sshare -a
If I want to reset a user's value for that to 1, so that they are
back at "top priority," I'm unclear how to do that.
When I type:
sacctmgr modify user <username> set FairShare=1
That seems actually to update the RawShares column! I guess this
(kind of) makes sense, since apparently I can set
FairShare=parent, so it's clear that command is not used to
update the last column (the one titled FairShare); so confusing!
Is the actual FairShare column a calculated value that is
immutable? My understanding, however, is that it is that value
that controls a user's job priority. We do have job priority
scheduling configured and it *seems* to be working as intended,
I'm just not sure how to "reset" a given user's priority weighting.
I do have PriorityDecayHalfLife=7 set in slurm.conf, and this
does decrement the RawUsage column appropriately, but even when
that reaches 0, the FairShare value doesn't change.
Warmest regards,
Jason
