pptransfer hangs/fails copying files to JASMIN nopw GWS

[ros]

Symptom:

pptransfer task hangs transferring files to JASMIN /nopw GWS

This affects suites running on all platforms (ARCHER, Monsoon2 and NEXCS).

Solution:

For New Runs:

Include the branch for the appropriate postproc version your suite is using:

postproc_2.2:
fcm:moci.xm-br/dev/rosalynhatcher/postproc_2.2_pptransfer_gridftp_nopw@3209

or

postproc_2.3:
fcm:moci.xm-br/dev/rosalynhatcher/postproc_2.3_pptransfer_gridftp_nopw@3202

Updating a running suite:

The easiest thing to do is edit the file ~/cylc-run/SUITEID/share/fcm_make_pptransfer/build/bin/transfer.py and change the globus-url-copy line to remove the -p 4 option.

I.e. change

globus_cmd = 'globus-url-copy -vb -cd -p 4 -cc 4 -sync'

to

globus_cmd = 'globus-url-copy -vb -cd -cc 4 -sync'

Note: If you are using a version of postproc other than postproc_2.2 or postproc_2.3 please raise a ticket on the CMS helpdesk for advice.
