Is there a way to run case.submit and not include the gfs_post job?

Hi-

I am running a bunch of fv3 jobs on cheyenne, and each time I run ./case.submit it submits three jobs:

Submitting job script qsub -q economy -l walltime=03:00:00 -A NSAP0003  .case.chgres
Submitting job script qsub -q economy -l walltime=03:00:00 -A NSAP0003  -W depend=afterok:5963689.chadmin1.ib0.cheyenne.ucar.edu -v ARGS_FOR_SCRIPT='--resubmit' .case.run
Submitting job script qsub -q economy -l walltime=03:00:00 -A NSAP0003  -W depend=afterok:5963690.chadmin1.ib0.cheyenne.ucar.edu  .case.gfs_post

We do not need the output from case.gfs_post, so I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the addition of this job to the queue. To this point, I've been using qdel to remove the job after it's added. But we are getting ready to run a big batch and it's not a very scalable approach.

Thank you,

Hi Paddy,

yes there is. From section 2.4 of the mrw app documentation (https://ufs-mrweather-app.readthedocs.io/en/ufs-v1.1.0/quickstart.html#create-a-case):

WORKFLOW is the workflow and can be set as ufs-mrweather or ufs-mrweather_wo_post. The ufs-mrweather includes both pre- and post-processing steps, while ufs-mrweather_wo_post includes only pre-processing step. In the current version of the MR Weather App, the pre-processing step need to be run to generate initial conditions for the UFS Weather Model.
