Hi Ros,

Thank you that has solved the postproc\_cice issue.

However, pptransfer failed with

[WARN] [SUBPROCESS]: Command: globus-url-copy -vb -cd -r -cc 4 -verify-checksum -sync -cred /work/n02/n02/jweber/cred.jasmin /work/n02/n02/jweber/archive/u-cu408/20270701T0000Z/ gsiftp://gridftp1.jasmin.ac.uk/gws/nopw/j04/sheffield/jweber/mass\_extracts/from\_archer2/u-cu408/20270701T0000Z/

[ERROR] transfer.py: Unknown Error - Return Code=1

I can see that some data has been transferred to Jasmin and wondered if this could be a checksum issue. Your suite had checksum set to false whereas it was true for me. I ran u-cu408 for a further 3 months with checksum now false in postproc/rose-app.conf but this time postproc\_nemo failed again with the error:  
"Detected 1 oom-kill event(s) in StepId=3133450.batch. Some of your processes may have been killed by the cgroup out-of-memory handler.”

Does this require a change to the suite.rc or archer2.rc file?

When I set postproc\_nemo to succeeded, pptransfer then failed with:

Bit confused by this. Might be two separate issues?
