Other common problems that prevent jobs from being re-runnable are

  • Using ectrans without the "-overwrite" option.  If some files have already been transferred successfully with ectrans then, if the job needs to be re-run, ectrans will fail with the error "eccmd error: Target file already exist (exit=-36)".    To avoid this, use the "-overwrite" option
  • Using bzip2.  By default, bzip2 will not overwrite a compressed file if it already exists.  Use the bzip2 "-f" option to force the file to be overwritten.

Please note that you can submit your job to ECaccess without setting up what is suggested above. Your jobs will run normally but, without this job control, the ECMWF operators will not notice any errors with your jobs and ECaccess will fail to resubmit your jobs, even if you requested some retries.
