`upp`

Note

The uwtools drivers are idempotent, meaning that actions they successfully complete during one invocation are not repeated in subsequent invocations. For example, an asset like a configuration file will not be recreated when the driver is run again, even if its UW YAML configuration changes. To force recreation, remove the asset(s) in question – up to and including the entire provisioned run directory – then re-run the driver, which will recreate any missing assets based on the current configuration.

The uw mode for configuring and running the UPP component.

Execute upp tasks

Optional arguments:
  -h, --help
      Show help and exit
  --version
      Show version info and exit
  --show-schema
      Show driver schema and exit

Positional arguments:
  TASK

The examples use a configuration file named config.yaml with contents similar to:

      - source /etc/profile.d/slurm.sh

        po:

          - 1
    validate: true
  rundir: /path/to/run/dir
platform:
  account: me
  scheduler: slurm

Its contents are described in depth in section upp.

Run upp on an interactive node
```
$ uw upp run --config-file config.yaml --cycle 2024-05-06T12 --leadtime 6
```
The driver creates a runscript.upp file in the directory specified by rundir: in the config and runs it, executing upp.
Run upp via a batch job
```
$ uw upp run --config-file config.yaml --cycle 2024-05-06T12 --leadtime 6 --batch
```
The driver creates a runscript.upp file in the directory specified by rundir: in the config and submits it to the batch system. Running with --batch requires a correctly configured platform: block in config.yaml, as well as appropriate settings in the execution: block under upp:.
Specifying the --dry-run flag results in the driver logging messages about actions it would have taken, without actually taking any.
```
$ uw upp run --config-file config.yaml --cycle 2024-05-06T12 --leadtime 6 --batch --dry-run
```

The --key-path option can be used to navigate from the top of the config to the driver’s configuration block. For example, specifying --key-path foo.bar with config
```
foo:
  bar:
    driver:
      # driver config block
```
is equivalent to using config
```
driver:
  # driver config block
```
without specifying --key-path.

The run task depends on the other available tasks and executes them as prerequisites. It is possible to execute any task directly, which entails execution of any of its dependencies. For example, to create an upp run directory provisioned with all the files, directories, symlinks, etc. required per the configuration file:
```
$ uw upp provisioned_rundir --config-file config.yaml --cycle 2024-05-06T12 --leadtime 6 --batch
```

Specifying the --show-schema flag, with no other options, prints the driver’s schema:

uw upp --show-schema >schema
head -n20 schema

{
  "properties": {
    "upp": {
      "additionalProperties": false,
      "properties": {
        "control_file": {
          "type": "string"
        },
        "execution": {
          "additionalProperties": false,
          "properties": {
            "batchargs": {
              "additionalProperties": true,
              "properties": {
                "cores": {
                  "type": "integer"
                },
                "debug": {
                  "type": "boolean"
                },

Use the --schema-file option to specify a custom JSON Schema file with which to validate the driver config. A custom schema could range in complexity from the simplest, most permissive schema, {}, to one based on the internal schema shown by --show-schema.
