Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I am having difficulty getting PB2NC to run on devwcoss (Mars). I am using
met/10.0.0-beta3 and metplus/4.0.0-beta3. If you can access Mars, my
directory is:
/gpfs/dell2/emc/verification/noscrub/Deanna.Spindler/MET
There I have a metplus_setup.sh that loads the modules and exports the
paths and directories. The subdirectory
GEFS_Wave/metplus_config/v4.0.0-beta3 has my PB2NC_gefs_wave.conf where I
set:
PB2NC_INPUT_DIR = {GDAS_PREPBUFR}/gdas.{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d}/18
PB2NC_INPUT_TEMPLATE = gdas.t18z.prepbufr.nr
(because I haven't figured out how to specify the cycle to be any of 00,
06, 12, 18)
The command I try is:
master_metplus.py -c $METPLUS_WAVES_VERIF/GEFS_Wave/gefs_wave.conf -c
$METPLUS_WAVES_VERIF/GEFS_Wave/metplus_config/v4.0.0-beta3/PB2NC_gefs_wave.conf
-index -v 4
and I get this error:

Can you help me, please?

Subject: PB2NC error with metplus/4.0.0-beta3
From: George McCabe
Time: Thu Feb 04 11:29:47 2021
Hi Deanna,
The error is due to an invalid argument passed to master_metplus.py.
The
script only accepts config files and config variable overrides. The "-
c"
argument is no longer needed, although it doesn't hurt to include.
The invalid arguments are: *-index -v 4 *
Removing those should get rid of this error. The script is supposed to
report an error message, print the usage statement, and exit
gracefully, so
I will fix that now. Thank you for making me aware of that!
Let me know if you have any other questions or issues.
Thanks,
George

From: George McCabe
Time: Thu Feb 04 11:39:00 2021
FYI, I made a change to the develop branch that prevents the crash.
This is
what the output should have looked like without that bug:
master_metplus.py -c $METPLUS_WAVES_VERIF/GEFS_Wave/gefs_wave.conf -c
$METPLUS_WAVES_VERIF/GEFS_Wave/metplus_config/v4.0.0-
beta3/PB2NC_gefs_wave.conf
-index -v 4
*Running METplus 4.0.0-rc1-devERROR: Invalid argument: -index.Usage:
master_metplus.py arg1 arg2 arg3 -h|--help Display
this
usage statementArguments:/path/to/parmfile.conf -- Specify custom
configuration file to usesection.option=value -- override conf options
on
the command line*
This would have been much easier to understand why it failed!

Thanks, George. I am still getting an error, but it has to do with my
not
understanding how to write dates.
I tried
LOOP_BY = VALID
VALID_BEG = 2021020100
PB2NC_INPUT_DIR = {INPUT_BASE}/gdas.{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d}/18
hoping that it would assign $INPUT_BASE/gdas.20210201/18
but it gives me a KeyError.
I've seen "valid?", "init?", "da_init?" in sample scripts. What do
they
mean? how should I set them?
Can you help me, please?
Thanks,
Deanna

Hi Deanna,
Here is the section of the METplus Wrappers User's Guide that
describes how
the filename templates work.
https://dtcenter.github.io/METplus/latest/Users_Guide/systemconfiguration.html#directory-
and-filename-template-info
Your syntax is correct, however, the filename template tags are not
currently supported in the *_INPUT_DIR variables. You can only use
them in
the corresponding *_INPUT_TEMPLATE variables. In your case, you should
move
the parts of the path that use them template tags into
PB2NC_INPUT_TEMPLATE
PB2NC_INPUT_DIR = {INPUT_BASE}
PB2NC_INPUT_TEMPLATE = gdas.{valid?fmt=%Y%m%d}/18.....
You can also exclude the _INPUT_DIR altogether and put the full path
into
the _INPUT_TEMPLATE variable instead. Some people prefer to do that.
The
path is separated into 2 variables to support finding files that have
a
filename that does not exactly line up with the current run time. In
this
case, the _INPUT_DIR is used to search for files using the
_INPUT_TEMPLATE
to attempt to extract the time of the file.
I have wanted to add support for the template tags into the _INPUT_DIR
variables to avoid this confusion, but when I tried to it appeared to
be a
little more than a simple task. If that is something that you would
prefer
was available, I can make a GitHub issue for it so it will be
prioritized.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
George

Thank you again! Your explanation is enough for me, but if you want to
make
the information available to anyone, how about putting it in the FAQ
section of the webpage? I looked there to see if anyone had asked
already.
I will add the github Users_Guide to my list of links to check for
answers!
Thanks again for your help,
Deanna
