The combination of all the job steps constitute the entire job.
Each job step generates its own record in the SLURM accounting database.
#### Summary on Job ID
A single SLURM job will generate the "master record" which logs the
overall execution of the job.
In addition, there can be zero or more extra records generated by the
"job steps" triggered during the course of that job.
The master record includes the resource utilization usage (CPU,
memory, etc) of the child "job steps".
The master job record is characterized by a plain number in the
`JobIDRaw` field.
Further, the `User` field must not be empty.
The rest of this section goes into greater detail of the various

database.
However, several job records with this type JobID will have no "User" field set.
These are also not vanilla jobs.
