Q&A Posting Guidelines

[gspetro-NOAA]

When posting a question, users are encouraged to provide the following information:

• The platform or system being used (e.g., Hera, Orion, WCOSS, MacOS, Linux)
• The version of the Land DA System being used (e.g., develop, release/public-v1.1.0). (To determine this, users can run git branch, and the name of the branch with an asterisk * in front of it is the name of the branch they are working on.) Note that the Land DA version being used and the version of the documentation being used should match, or users will run into difficulties.
• Stage of the application when the issue appeared (i.e., build/compilation, configuration, or forecast run)
• 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.
