Check the logs for more information and adjust filters as needed.

Resubmit job.

Output file is not found, exit code 123

UK: No space left on device. The job may be too big for KBase in the current configuration.

Resubmit job to make certain the issue isn’t a conflict with other jobs. If this doesn’t work, submit a ticket to the Help Board.

Output file is not found, exit code is 137

kafka

TE: Any messages with the word kafka in the error. Something went wrong with the system.

Resubmit job. Report the issue to the Help Board if resubmitting doesn’t fix the problem.

ProtocolError, Connection aborted., BadStatusLine

UK: Something went wrong with the reporting and cleanup at the end of the job. Intermittent error. The data is fine, but there will be no report at the end. If an object was created, clicking on it in the data panel will create a viewer for the object, which is likely missing.

Gee whiz, I sure am sorry, but an error occurred. Gosh!...... Object 19 cannot be accessed

UE: User’s browser cache is retaining old information. In this case, it is 'Object 19'. One symptom is that the user gets the error but the narrative looks fine to others.

Try the following:

• Reload the page

• Close and reopen your narrative

• Log out and log back in again

• Clear your cache

If you find something that works, no need to try the others.

Details: 500 globus_xio: ICE negotiation failed.

UE: The error generally indicate a firewall issue.

Please refer to this question on the Globus forum for a similar question with its solution. If you are working from home, you can view the Globus documentation for configuring the firewall. If you are on an institution network, you'll probably have to request an exception from IT.
