How to Change Project Code

[katiemurenbeeld@u_boisestate_edu]

Hi All,

I am running into issues building cases with CLM because I have a new project code, but I do not understand how to change the PBS_ACCOUNT. To me the information here

Submitting jobs with PBS | Computational and Information Systems Laboratory

www2.cisl.ucar.edu

and here

Personalizing start files | Computational and Information Systems Laboratory

www2.cisl.ucar.edu

is not very helpful.

Any insight is greatly appreciated! If this doesn't solve my problem I will provide more information.

ctsm version: release-clm5.0.30-143-gabcd5937

Cheers,
Katie

I have PBS_ACCOUNT set in my .tcshrc.
You should also be able to specify the account number when creating your case using "--project PXXXXXXX".
Let me know if that's not what you are after.

Hi Keith,

Even though I set the project code when I create a new case, sometimes (not all the time) I get this error when I try to build the case.

Submitting command to PBS using account UBOI0003:
./case.build

qsub: Account is in state: Expired
available accounts:
Project, Status, Active
UBOI0003, Expired, True
UBOI0006, Normal, True

Error: PBS could not successfully start job. Exiting...

I guess then my question is how to properly set the PBS_ACCOUNT in .tcshrc. My .tcshrc is empty, and I do not have a .profile file.

Thanks!

Also, if I go into the case directory and run ./xmlquery PROJECT, then it shows that the project is set to the correct account.

>./xmlquery

Results in group case.run
PROJECT: UBOI0006

Results in group case.st_archive
PROJECT: UBOI0006

Do you have a .cesm_proj in your home directory? If so, what are its contents?
If not, you could try creating one and put your project number in there.

I use tcsh (echo $SHELL -> /bin/tcsh) and I put this in my .tcshrc:

setenv PBS_ACCOUNT P93300641

where you would substitute in your project number.

I myself am always confused as to which source is chosen to get the project number

Hi Keith,

I tried each of those, and PBS is still trying to use the wrong account. Is there a way to set the Project or PBS_ACCOUNT here:

qcmd -- ./case.build

?

I found this in the cime user's guide, not sure if it is up to date:

CIME.utils.get_project(machobj=None)[source]
Hierarchy for choosing PROJECT: 0. Command line flag to create_newcase or create_test 1. Environment variable PROJECT 2 Environment variable ACCOUNT (this is for backward compatibility) 3. File $HOME/.cime/config (this is new) 4 File $HOME/.cesm_proj (this is for backward compatibility) 5 config_machines.xml (if machobj provided)

It doesn't mention PBS_ACCOUNT but I think it would do the same thing as PROJECT.

You can use the -A option, e.g.,

qcmd -A P93300041 -- ./case.build

That forced it to work. I will add this to my scripts. In the meantime I will keep looking into how to set the PBS account as an environment.

Thank you for your help!
