Switch off ARCHER2 automatical archiving

Unified Model
1

Hello,

I’m currently running the PI control run (u-dn501) based on the suite (u-dj927) and transferring the outputs to JASMIN using Globus.

After running for quite some time, I realized that all the outputs are being archived in my ARCHER2 work directory even after being copied to JASMIN.

I attempted to set “delete_staged” = .true. in the hope of modifying the archiving process, but it didn’t work.

Could you advise me on how to disable archiving on ARCHER2?

Thank you

Xu

Hi Xu,

Unfortunately the delete_staged option doesn’t work with globus. You will either need to:

  1. manually delete the data from ARCHER2 after it has been successfully transferred to JASMIN

or

  1. change archive_root_path to be $ROSE_DATAC and then in the file app/housekeeping/rose-app.conf add:
    prune{share/cycle}=-P3M
    Where P3M will keep 3 months worth of data on disk under the share/cycle/<cycle> directory. You can set this to whatever value is appropriate for your suite. Reload the suite to pick up the changes.

Regards,
Ros.
