Is my workspace set up?

Did you already create a cases directory where you will put all new cases

cd /glade/work/$USER
mkdir cases

Did you create a new case?

You can create a new case with the command:

./create_newcase --case /glade/work/$USER/cases/CASE --res RES --compset COMPSET

Make sure you use the correct information for the CASE, RES, and COMPSET inputs.

Did you set up the case?

You can invoke case set up as follows:

./case.setup

How do I compile?

You can compile with the command:

qcmd -- ./case.build

How do I check my job status?

You can check job status using the command:

Create a new case b.day1.0 with the command:

cd /glade/work/$USER/code/my_cesm_code/cime/scripts
./create_newcase --case /glade/work/$USER/cases/b.day1.0 --res f19_g17 --compset B1850

Case setup:

cd /glade/work/$USER/cases/b.day1.0 
./case.setup

Do not make any other changes since we are running an out-of-the-box simulation.

Build and submit:

qcmd -- ./case.build
./case.submit

Remember that qcmd is used on Cheyenne only.

Check the status:

qstat -u $USER

When the run is completed, look into the archive directory for: b.day1.0.

Check that your archive directory on cheyenne (The path will be different on other machines):

cd /glade/scratch/$USER/archive/b.day1.0
ls
