Hi there,  
I copied a suite (u-dr256) from a working suite u-dq164. However, it did not run with rose errors in “install\_ancil” and with state of “submit-failed”. The further error messages in Rose report are not useful, as they all show: ERROR: file not found: /home/n02/n02/emxin/cylc-run/u-dr256/log/job/20200201T0000Z/install\_ancil/01/job.out.

Then I went to cycle-run log at: /home/n02/n02/emxin/cylc-run/u-dr256/log/job/20200201T0000Z/install\_cold/01  
the job.out file shows below message:

1. epcc-setup-env
2. load-epcc-module

4. cray-hdf5-parallel/1.12.2.1

Noe that the old working suite u-dq164 also stopped working with same message, which is strange. Could you tell me what went wrong? Thanks

Best,  
Xin

Hi Xin,

In case of ‘submit-failed’ tasks, the error message is usually in a _job-activity.log_ file under log/job/(cycle)/(task)/NN/.  
~emxin/cylc-run/u-dr256/log/job/20200201T0000Z/install\_ancil//NN/job-activity.log shows failure for ‘rose host-select archer2’ command.

This could be temporary and a retry should work, otherwise try executing this command on PUMA. It should return one of the ‘ln0\*’ nodes.
