Error while applying Calibration usign DP3

[anshusolar]

Hi,

While doing this step:

msin=SOURCE.MS
msout=.
msin.datacolumn=DATA
msout.datacolumn=CORR_NO_BEAM
steps=[applycal]
applycal.parmdb=CALIBRATOR.MS/instrument
applycal.updateweights=True

I am getting this error:

std exception detected: distributed parm facade not available

The output of gain calculation step shows nothing unusual:

Total NDPPP time     995.06 real     1711.59 user      221.35 system
    0.1% MSReader
   97.4% GainCal gaincal.
           99.2% of it spent in predict
            0.1% of it spent in reordering visibility data

This problem is only with the one day observations. The same steps work if I use some other MS files on another day.

Wow, that's a very bad error message. Could you check that the observations of day one do contain a subdirectory 'instrument' with calibration solutions?

[anshusolar]

These are the content of instrument folder inside the calibrator MS file:
DEFAULTVALUES NAMES table.dat table.f0 table.f0i table.info table.lock

[tammojan]

Could you perhaps share (part of) the MS and instrument table somewhere? E.g. on CEP3, DAS5, DAS6, or the EOR cluster, or if it's small enough on a shared drive somewhere?

[anshusolar]

I will share it on CEP3 and let you know.

The data is in "/data/scratch/kumari/data" in lhd001 folder.

I have also put the three parset files, which I used for calibrating and then applying calibration solutions.
L242124 and L242128 are calibrator (Virgo).
