Sorry, I accidently created a blank post... So here is my question.

I'm running CLM-FATES on Derecho with CTSM 5.1 dev 157. But I cannot change my job queue by ./xmlchange job_queue = regular or job_priority = regular. The only queue I can use is develop, which is limited to max. wall time of 6 hours. Any tips for how should I change the job queue? Thanks!

ok I think I know now that this might be a CIME version issue. But is it possible that with an older version of cime, I can still use the regular queue instead of being restricted to only develop queue?

@xiulingao
./xmlchange offers a good way to change entries in your case's .xml files.
./xmlquery is also a good way to see existing settings. For example...
./xmlquery job_queue # in one of my cases returns ERROR: No results for job_queue (same for job_priority), while
./xmlquery JOB_QUEUE # returns

Results in group case.run
JOB_QUEUE: main

Results in group case.st_archive
JOB_QUEUE: develop

./xmlquery JOB_PRIORITY # returns
JOB_PRIORITY: regular

...so I think the answer to your question is that you need to set JOB_QUEUE to main and JOB_PRIORITY to regular.

NOW, considering that there are two instances of JOB_QUEUE in env_workflow.xml (which I discovered by typing grep JOB_QUEUE *.xml), I recommend updating this setting by opening the .xml file with an editor, because I do not know whether ./xmlchange will do the correct thing for you.
