Ganga: The job X has reached unexpected the Cleared state and Ganga cannot retrieve the output.

If you get the error message

The job X has reached unexpected the Cleared state and Ganga cannot retrieve the output.

Then this looks like a problem with the WMS/LB service. Usually, the NAF Grid setup uses the DESY and GridKa WMS service to submit jobs to the Grid. The service used can be read from the job id:

j.backend.id

The default configuration for the WMS is taken from

$GLITE_LOCATION/etc/atlas/glite_wms.conf

You can override this configuration:

mkdir -p $HOME/.glite/atlas
cd $HOME/.glite/atlas
ini glite
cp $GLITE_LOCATION/etc/atlas/glite_wms.conf .
emacs $HOME/.glite/atlas/glite_wms.conf

Edit the second to last line (WMProxyEndpoints) and remove for example the GridKa WMS. As of 2010-04-30 wms-0[123]-fzk have this problem fixed.

Please, only override the WMS configuration if you know what you are doing.

BASH

In case you want to use BASH instead of ZSH on the NAF, there is a work around ...

Just paste these lines into your .zshrc file and of you go (you can skip the first four if you like)

echo "You have half a second to break, using Ctrl-C, in case you really wanna use zsh."
sleep .5
clear
echo "For your convenience your shell has been changed to BASH ;-)"
export SHELL=/bin/bash
exec /bin/bash $*
