Troubleshooting v_3.3.3

Restart from a previous restart file

First you need to copy the restart file(s) from which you want to continue (previous month) in the execution directory:

  ~/MODEL_EXEC_RUN/${TRUE_HOST}

Then 'gunzip ....ca.gz' and afterwards unarchive ('cmcarc -x -f ....ca') your restart file(s).

If you only want to rerun one or a few months in the middle of a simulation I suggest you create a new directory and copy the original config files in it.
Then you should set 'CLIMAT_enddate' to the date until which you want to rerun. But NEVER change 'CLIMAT_startdate'.
You can do this while the original simulation is still running.

Then go into your (new) config file directory.

Restart using Chunk_lance

cp last_continue_with_next_job continue_with_next_job

last line in chunk_job.log:

... continue_with_next_job $exp starting at ...

And be careful NOT to have a blank line at the end of the file!

Chunk_lance

Restart the post processing

If you post processing crashed you should first find out what went wrong.
The best way to see what went wrong is to have a look at the listings which are mostly still in ~/listings/${TRUE_HOST}.
