Using NLDS on JASMIN

General
1

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has been using the NLDS on JASMIN successfully? I think I’ve followed all the steps in setting it up correctly, but every test put command just fails with no errors.

e.g. on jasminsci if I run the following command in a GWS

nlds put -l test_folder /gws/ssde/j25a/verify_oce/hburns/nlds_single_test

It just fails after queuing. I’ve tried moving files and folders using full paths etc. If anyone had a clue on what I’m missing would be a big help as I can’t find anyone that’s managed to use it yet! I regenerated my config since jan updates as well.

Hi, Since the job is queuing but not completing, it would help to see where its failing in the workflow. Could you share the output of the following:

nlds stat
hostname
ls -ld /gws/ssde/j25a/verify_oce/hburns/nlds_single_test

best regards,

Juan

I got some help from JASMIN, Neil shared how to get the error messages:
e.g.
nlds stat -i 5630 -E

and this reveals that it’s a top-level permissions issue with the whole GWS, which others might encounter too. In the future, this won’t be an issue, apparently, but for now needs extra permissions applied to the top level gws folder.

All the jobs were failing straight away and since the host and directory permissions look fine, this usually points to an issue with the NLDS client setup/authorization rather than the data itself. Good to know that!
