Problem related to "re-submit"

[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!
FYI, here shows CaseStatus:

The variable CONTINUE_RUN is intended to indicate that the initial run is complete and restart files are in place and should be used.
The user should (almost) never need to set this variable, it is automatically set when the initial run is completed. Please try again after setting
CONTINUE_RUN=FALSE.
