Hi all, I have been asked to look into get ANTS running so people outside the MO can make ancils for JULES. I know V has vn2.0 of ANTS on there but need the base datasets to get it running. This includes UMDIR to get the UM ancil data I found this site > **[ANTS](https://cms.ncas.ac.uk/miscellaneous/ants-container/)** > > The Met Office's ANcillary Tools and Suites is available in a Singularity container. It is available for download and is also installed on ARCHER2 and JASMIN. where the container used to point to /gws/nopw/j04/rdf\_migrate\_vol1 for this. I tried looking for the GWS on the account page and it does not seem to exist anymore. Is there a new GWS I need access to? If so can someone let me know the name? Cheers, Rich ---

[ANTS on JASMIN](https://cms-helpdesk.ncas.ac.uk/t/ants-on-jasmin/488) I just found this and it references ncas\_generic GWS. I guess I can apply for access. ---

Hi Rich, rdf\_migrate\_vol1 does still exist but you won’t find it in the account page. It’s also earmarked to be retired at some point so not suitable for long-term use. I have just done a sync of `$UMDIR/ancils` from ARCHER2 into our `umshared` GWS and am hoping JASMIN can sort the permissions out so it is readable for you. I’ll let you know when I hear back from them. Regards, Ros. ---

Hi Rich, You should now be able to see inside `/gws/nopw/j04/umshared/umshared/ancil` Hope that helps. Regards, Ros ---

> [@RosalynHatcher](#): > > /gws/nopw/j04/umshared/umshared/ancil Wow! Thanks Ros. Once I get this ancil workflow running it is meant to be usuable by anyone on Jasmin. Not sure if you would want all and sundry having access to this space or I should copy the data somewhere else. Cheers, RIch ---
