Description

/data/rc/jobscript_archive/<user>/<YYYYMMDD>/<jobid>.savescript

This is useful for RC staff to resolve devops issues and for facilitation problem solving.

We need this documented in the rc-how-to gitlab repo, and in the rc internal docs. (And maybe those could be merged...?).

It is also useful for researchers to review and to resolve their own issues.

To find a job script either of the following can work

  1. Having the jobid and using find.
  2. Having the datetime and using sacct -S ... -E ... to find the jobid. If there are many jobs, then having a unique-ish jobname can help narrow down the selection.

Research direction

Start with the issue's job-script archive path and the two lookup approaches: find by jobid, or sacct -S ... -E ... with an optional jobname. Document these instructions in the rc-how-to GitLab repo and the RC internal docs; done means both documentation locations explain how staff and researchers can find a job script.
