Problem

My task fails when I submit it and I do not see any job output?

Solution

Generally it is always a good idea to look at the output of the ecflow_server log directly or in ecfow_ui by right clicking on the server and selecting “History”.

  1. Also look at whether a job is created. Also check that server is not halted.
  2. If you click on the script button you get a “file read error” message then ecflow_server cannot find your script.
  3. Check the file permissions or location given in variable ECF_SCRIPT (using variables  in ecflow_ui).  This is normally based on the ECF_FILES variable

       If you right click on the node and click the edit button and get the error message“send failed for the node” you may not be able to access your include files.  

  4. Check the location of the include files and how they are defined (see ecFlow Pre-processor symbols ).
