In spite of being all in upper case (screaming in computerese)
they are merely annoying and do not cause anything to fail.
Copying the other files (ACD..., MSD..., TCD...)in a DA00
directory will eliminate, or at least reduce these.<br class="">

TDD00004; is the only critical file. There are several
others that live in $DA00 but if not found AIPS task
complain loudly but continue anyway. If you copy the other
files from a working $DA00 directory as well, it will reduce
the screaming. I'm not sure what happens when there "*"s in
the path for DA00 (or other directories), it should look
more like "/msn2a/bcotton/DA00" or your equivalent.<br class="">

Thank you very much for the details.<br class="">

I have checked the setup scripts of .obitrc.py and
AIPSSetup.py and both of them included the defined
directory **/DA00/.<br class="">
The setup scrips were copied from Sergio and I only modify
the path of DA00, DATA_1, and DATA_2 under my account, and
these directories were newly created.<br class="">
<br class="">
Yes, the TDD000004; file didn't exist in my directory of
**/DA00/, and I don’t know we need copy the file to the my
defined /DA00/.<br class="">
Now, I have copied the file from the directory of
/msn2a/bctton/DA00/, and re-run the pipeline, the error
fixed.<br class="">
<br class="">
If I understand correctly, the TDD000004; file should be
existed in /DA00/, if not, it needs to be copied from the
proper location (i.e., /msn2a/bctton/DA00/) to the newly
defined directory **/DA00/ in the setup scripts, before I
run the pipeline, right?<br class="">
<br class="">
Furthermore, before run the pipeline, do I need to also
copy other existing files named "***;’' from the
/msn2a/bctton/DA00/ to my /DA00/, in order to run the
pipeline successfully?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks a lot!<br class="">

Eric cced your query to me.<br class="">
One way or another the environment variable $DA00
needs to be set in the environment in which AIPS tasks
are run and it must point to a directory in which a
TDD000004; file in the format AIPS expects resides.
Obit writes the parameters in this file and the AIPS
tasks reads them from there. As you've noted the
pipeline script tolerates failures in the plotting
routines. Eric explained the standard AIPS setup which
will define $DA00. There is an Obit specific method, a
file named .obitrc.py in either your home or the current
working directory defines a number of items including
those needed to run AIPS tasks. A third possibility for
which you obviously have at least a partial version of
is the AIPSSetup.py file the calibration pipeline uses
to define data directories and the like. This can
(usually does) include DA00. My guess is that your
version of this file either doesn't include DA00 or sets
it to a directory that either doesn't exist or the
TDD000004; file does not exist. Ask Andreas about the
proper location.<br class="">

I do not know how data areas for AIPS are set up for a
pure OBIT user.<br class="">
This file is used to communicate adverbs from AIPS (or
the obit python<br class="">
layer) to AIPS tasks and is critical when running
AIPS. A normal<br class="">
AIPS manager would set up the aips logicals (source
LOGIN.SH in the<br class="">
AIPS_ROOT area) and then RUN FILAIP and answer the
questions (usual<br class="">
answer is 6 2).<br class="">
