Hello,

What was the full command that you used?

You should not normally need the --from-restart-id option - SimFactory uses this internally. It is supposed to work out which restart to recover from automatically.

You should be able to do

sim submit <simulation>

and it should queue a restart which recovers. If this doesn't work, can you post your log.txt file (from the simulation directory) so we can see what went wrong?

"Simulation Factory:
[log] Submitting:
[log] Using restart id "0002"
[log] Requested recovering from restart id "0"
[log] Could not find checkpoint files in restart id "0000"
Aborting.''
Inside my parameter file for this simulation I set up HDF5 check pointing in following way:
"IO::out_dir = $parfile
IOHDF5::checkpoint = "yes"
IO::checkpoint_every = 100000
IO::checkpoint_file = $parfile
IO::checkpoint_dir = $parfile
IO::recover="auto"
IO::recover_file = $parfile
IO::recover_dir = $parfile"
I checked that h5 check point files are actually inside the output-0000 directory.
Any suggestions how can I restart the my simulation from HDF5 checkpoint with a simfactory?
Thank you.
