Hi Ian,<br>
Your suggestion worked! That is, changing the parameters in the
top-level SIMFACTORY directory. I just I should mention it.<br>

Yes, I meant doing this via Simfactory. But at the same time
I acknowledge the fact that it could as well be doable via
some Cactus parameter... On that note, we have tried
changing the parameter in the top-level SIMFACTORY directory
under the job directory. However, looking at the parfile in
the new checkpoint directory, it still bore the old value.
We even went as far as changing the parameter in all
parfiles in the previous checkpoint subdirectory, in
addition to changing it in the top-level SIMFACTORY
directory. <br>
<br>
In any case, if you also suggest that then I'm going to give
this a try again over the weekend (or on Monday - our
computing center is on a shut down for the weekend).<br>

<div>Hi Dumsani,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The top-level simfactory directory I am talking about is:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>mysim/</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>SIMFACTORY/
<------ This one</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>par/</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>mysim.par</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>output-0000/</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>SIMFACTORY</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>output-0001/</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>SIMFACTORY/</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>i.e. there are SIMFACTORY directories inside each restart,
and there is one at the very top level of the simulation. If
you change the parameter file in this one, it should be copied
into the output-NNNN/SIMFACTORY/par directory when the new
restart is created. That was my understanding of how it
works, though I admit that I have not used SimFactory 2 for a
while. Do other people use this mechanism and can confirm
that this is how it works?</div>
