The first thing to check is whether the job file can be created. In ecflowview you should be able to view your script. If not, you should receive a pop up window indicating a file read error. This indicates that ECFLOW cannot find your script as either it does not exist or ecFlow cannot find it. Look at the value of the ECF_SCRIPT variable to see where ecFlow expects to find the file. The location can be modified using the variable ECF_FILES as described later.
Creation of ecflow job file
The next thing ecFlow will do is create the job file by adding all include files and substituting ecFlow variables (see the next chapter on "The ECFLOW Pre-processor" for more details). To test if ecFlow can find all the include files and variable click the edit button in ecflowview. If you get the error message "send failed for the node" ecFlow may not be able to access the include files or some ecFlow variables have not been set. More details will be given in the ecFlow log files which can also be seen in the "history" when right clicking on an ecFlow server in ecflowview.
