Hello,

I’ve got another incident of a pptransfer failure with the below error. I will also report this to Jasmin since I think similar failures have been due to issues at their end in the past. However, if it looks like an issue at my end, please do let me know.

Cheers,

James

Hi James,

I’ve been getting these all weekend - I think its just where the pptransfer from the first try still hasnt worked because of something on the Jasmin end, but the job keeps retrying and thats why you get this identical paths error because the first job is still ‘running’ on globus (even though it has failed and resubmitted on cylc…).

Simon Tett and I have not been able to transfer anything properly/quickly for a week or so now and since the weekend its basically ground to a halt!

Best,

Hannah
