Page History

The ecf_start.sh script will automatically set up and start your ecflow_server.

If you started an ecFlow manually then your server will start in a halted state.

In this case you you will have to “restart” your server before you can use it.

In a halted state the server will not schedule any tasks.

Text

To check the status of the server, type the following at the unix prompt:

> ecflow_client --stats

Examine the output. If the ecflow_server is halted you would restart with:

> ecflow_client --restart

Once the ecflow_server is running you have to start the suite by typing:

> ecflow_client --begin test

Restarting and begin’ing the suite can also be done with the Client Server API.

Modify your client.py file and then run it.

Warning
If you had previously loaded the suite, then comment out the ci.load(..) statement

!/usr/bin/env python2.
