Please find hereafter some important notes on changes with the TC-1 service on Atos in Bologna.
ECaccess Web Toolkit at ECMWF
To access the ECaccess Web Toolkit on ATos, you will have to load the ecccass module, e.g.:
| No Format |
|---|
$> module load ecaccess
$> ecaccess-event-list |
SSH keys setting
In order to ensure a proper functioning of the ECaccess jobs submissions, including the TC-1 service, it is essential to configure properly the SSH Keys under the user HOME on the Atos systems.
...
As the meteogram database has been moved to Bologna, the Metview meteogram service in Reading will no longer work by default. Rather than fixing the TC1 jobs in Reading, we strongly recommend users to run these jobs to the Atos systems in Bologna. See example metgram batch job under https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/UDOC/HPC2020%3A+realtime_metgram.sh. Note that you will need to load the new version of the ecmwf-toolbox.
Common errors
The SLURM directive '#SBATCH --workdir=<directory_name>', commonly used on ecgate in Reading is deprecated. On the ATos systems, you should use '#SBATCH --chdir=<directory_name>' instead.
Make sure you submit your TC1 jobs to the correct ECaccess events; see command 'ecaccess-event-list'. If your jobs is submitted to early with reference to the dissemination schedule, it will fail.
Do give your TC1 jobs sufficient time with the SLURM directive '#QSUB --time=<HH:MM:SS>'.
