Missing required pointer_file rpointer.ocn.restart

[yangx2]

Hi everyone,
I am following the instruction from "2020 CESM TUTORIAL COURSEWORK" online.
After creating case (./create_newcase --case b.e20.B1850.f19_g17.test --compset B1850 --res f19_g17) and setup case, I did several changes by "./xmlchange "(shown below):
*********************************************************
./xmlchange STOP_OPTION=nmonths
./xmlchange STOP_N=1
*********************************************************
Then, building and submitting the case, all worked with no error. My practice is to produce total of 38 months. Since I have already run 1 month, I did several changes by "./xmlchange" (shown below):
*******************************************************
./xmlchange STOP_N=37
./xmlchange CONTINUE_RUN=TRUE
*******************************************************
After I building the case, it gets errors shown below:
*********************************************************
ERROR: Missing required pointer_file /mnt/scratch/nfs_fs02/yangx2/b.day2.test/run/rpointer.ocn.restart ---has pop initial data been prestaged to /mnt/scratch/nfs_fs02/yangx2/b.day2.test/run?
*********************************************************
Any hints would be helpful! Thanks in advance!
Best,
Skylar
