Hi,

I am trying to run a copy of the standard job u-ca369. The simulation has run properly, but the run falls over at the postproc stage with the following error:

 ![error](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/cms_support/original/1X/6c50018b0d583a48f337d456216bc392bb71a437.png)

Would you be able to help?

Regards,  
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

You have Met Office Moose archiving selected for the post-processing rather than ARCHER.

Hi,

the postproc app is now stuck on “retrying” with the following being the job stderr file:

Would you be able to help with this?

Hi Daniel,

In `suite.rc` file `[[pptransfer]]` needs to inherit `POSTPROC` as well as that is where the variable `ARCHIVE_SET` is defined.

Cheers,  
Ros.
