hi there,

i am debugging a (very slow) workflow which currently has a cycling freq of 1 month and it fails after the first cycle point with a permission denied error. i want to change the cycling frequency to 1 day to debug this faster.

can i do this with the running workflow or do i have to run a new one?

thanks

It is possible to change the cycling frequency, edit the flow.cylc file, then reinstall and reload with cylc vr <workflow-id>.

Note, changing the cycling frequency can result in unsatisfied dependencies, you may need to manually trigger some tasks to get the workflow running again after the reload/restart.

thanks a lot @oliver.sanders! yeah i totally get that there may be some manual triggering involved but that’s fine for this relatively simple workflow.

cheers,
