u-ck217 is a copy of u-ci287 and when I try to run it I get the the FAIL messages (below). This is probably first time I have run an Archer suite at all since before 2FA but I think the issue is fundamental as the error is reported on PUMA. I see in the cylc-run/u-ck217 the suite.rc is indeed line 65 where the sites are set. I thought I had checked al lthe details as shown on : [http://cms.ncas.ac.uk/wiki/Archer2](http://cms.ncas.ac.uk/wiki/Archer2)

PUMA ID is markr archer2 id is mricha

Mark

Just remove the assert line in suite.rc – it needs a later version of cylc than is used on PUMA.

Hi grenville,  
tha tis great it now has got past the assert but of course I think my SSH set up is not working properly. I did ssh-add the archerum pass phrase on PUMA:  
(preamble then…)

Okay, started and cylgui appears (empty) "stopped with ? (purple square)  
perhaps I am behaving like a novice. but long time since I used Archer. bit different to Monsoon.  
Guess I have to nose around the arcehr2 “install” files and work dirs.
