fcm_make failure on PUMA

[mbexgcd2]

Hi,

I'm attempting to rebuild a UM job I previously compiled yesterday on ARCHER via PUMA (suite u-au492), but when I come to run the suite today I encounter an error with the extraction step (fcm_make), which appears in the Gcylc log viewer as:

2018-01-30T14:41:04Z ERROR - [job-submit cmd] cylc jobs-submit — /home/mbexgcd2/cylc-run/u-au492/log/job 1/fcm_make/01

[job-submit ret_code] 1
[job-submit out] 2018-01-30T14:41:04Z|1/fcm_make/01|1|None

2018-01-30T14:41:04Z ERROR - [fcm_make.1] -submission failed
2018-01-30T14:41:06Z WARNING - suite stalled
2018-01-30T14:41:06Z WARNING - Unmet prerequisites for fcm_make2.1:
2018-01-30T14:41:06Z WARNING - * fcm_make.1 succeeded

I don't think I'm doing anything differently to what I have previously done, but any help or insight you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Chris.

Hi Chris,

The job-activity.log file says it has failed because the "at daemon is not running". The extract should be run in the background not using at. In the suite.rc file under the [[LINUX]] family please change:

batch system = at 

to

batch system = background

Cheers,
Ros.
