Q&A Posting Guidelines

[gspetro-NOAA]

When posting a question, it is recommended that users provide the following information:

• The platform or system being used (e.g., Hera, Orion, MacOS, Linux)
• The version of the UFS WM being used (e.g., develop, release/public-v3.0, GFS.v16.3.0). (To determine this, users can run git branch, and the name of the branch or tag with an asterisk * in front of it is the name of the branch or tag they are working on.) Note that the version of the WM being used and the version of the documentation being used should match, or users may run into difficulties.
• The configuration of the UFS WM being used (e.g., ATM, S2S, HAFS)
• Stage of the model when the issue appeared (i.e., build/compilation, test configuration, or run) and/or type of error (e.g., build error, runtime error)
• Contents of relevant configuration files
• Full error message (preferably in text form rather than a screenshot)
• Current shell (e.g., bash, csh) and modules loaded
• Compiler + MPI combination being used
• Run directory and code directory, if available on supported platforms

Before posting, users are encouraged to search existing questions and check out the EPIC Technical FAQs to see if their question has already been answered.
