Porting existing JULES suite to Cylc8/LOTUS2

Hi,

I’m in the process of porting several JULES suites (u-dc071, u-cq002) to Cylc8/LOTUS2 using the new cylc2 server on Jasmin. Are there any resources or existing examples that you can recommend I use to support the migration?

Related to this, Patrick has already kindly provided the suites that he has successfully migrated across so that I can see the changes, however after looking at one of these (u-dm272), I see that the workflow filename and file structure/syntax are still consistent with Cylc7 and not Cylc8 (e.g. filename is suite.rc and not flow.cylc). I suspect I’m missing something trivial, but any clarification on this would be very helpful too.

Thanks very much,
Ross

I would look at the migration page of the docs:
https://cylc.github.io/cylc-doc/stable/html/7-to-8/index.html

and note the forum section:
https://cylc.discourse.group/c/cylc/7-to-8/13

You can run things in ‘compatability mode’ which may explain something which looks mixed??? Hopefully there are not too many apps in your suite and you can get up and running
