  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi MET help desk,

I am configuring and running METplus 3.0.2 for our cases and am coming across an issue when specifying the “init” time string in the config file. When I run, I get the following “KeyError” message:

KeyError: 'init?fmt=%Y%m%d?shift=-25200'
05/29 16:25:19Z run-METplus-CRITICAL:  PCPCombine  failed: 'init?fmt=%Y%m%d?shift=-25200'

I have attached a copy of the example config file that I am using to run METplus (just PcpCombine for now) as a reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

-Brian

Hi again,

I just wanted to follow up to say I was able to fix the issue I
encountered on Friday. It turns out I was specifying an incorrect
variable in the config file. It has been corrected and I am able to
run METplus with my config file successfully.
