GETEFILE ERROR: input file not found: PNTS

SMOKE Run Errors and Warnings
1

Hi everyone,

I am running the canada_ag sector of the NEI 2019 platform, i want to produce daily emission so i changed M_TYPE and L_TYPE to “all”, changed sectorlist to “all” and comment out MRG_BYDAY and replace the final line in the Monthly_canada_ag scripts with
$RUNSCRIPTS/emf/smk_pt_daily_emf.csh $REGION_ABBREV $REGION_IOAPI_GRIDNAME -m “$RUN_MONTHS” $SPINUP_DURATION daily and met the following error:

GETEFILE ERROR: input file not found: PNTS
 /glade/derecho/scratch/hmao/SMOKE-4.8/2019ge_cb6_19k/intermed/canada_ag/pnts_map_canada_ag_2019ge_cb6_19k.txt

     Could not open input file "PNTS".

     *** ERROR ABORT in subroutine OPENTMPIN
     Ending program "OPENTMPIN".

However, I have successfully run onetime script and have pnts_map_canada_ag_2019ge_cb6_19k.txt there. I followed this SMOKE ptegu ERROR: input file not found: PNTS and deleted all previous pnts files and tried again but the error still exists. I attached my run scripts here
Monthly_canada_ag_daily_12US1_2019ge_cb6_19k.csh.txt (7.2 KB)
Monthly_canada_ag_onetime_12US1_2019ge_cb6_19k.csh.txt (7.1 KB)
, could you help with this?
Thanks,
Lin

Could not open **input** file "PNTS".…
…deleted all previous pnts files…

This program does not create the PNTS file – it uses it as an input.

And you just told me you blew it away!

Thanks for helping,
I mean before i run daily, i have pnts_map_canada_ag_2019ge_cb6_19k.txt in the intermed/canada_ag/ directory, but when i ran daily_script it still shows “GETEFILE ERROR: input file not found: PNTS”. I deleted the intermediate files and rerun onetime and daily, the error still exists.
Thanks,
Lin

The error is because smk_pt_daily_emf.csh will only work with smk_pt_annual_onetime_emf.csh, not with smk_pt_monthly_onetime_emf.csh. The 2019ge Canada_ag sector requires smk_pt_monthly_onetime_emf.csh because the sector includes monthly inventories instead of annual inventories, so you need to leave the onetime script alone and can’t switch to the annual onetime script.

This is actually a unique situation – point sector + monthly inventories and you want to use daily emissions from SMOKE. We suggest reverting back to the original settings and scripts (including smk_pt_monthly_byday_emf.csh), and only changing M_TYPE=all and the sectorlist value to ‘all’, and leaving L_TYPE and MRG_BYDAY as they originally were. If that doesn’t work, let us know.
