Hi, Dr. Yi,

I tried to use JESS to run my jEplus project, however, the job was rejected and said:

"Tue Feb 03 17:14:43 PST 2015 [JESSUser@Sunshine-PC@2C-D0-5A-7B-2D-D2] RJOB; SN=14772; Status=REJECTED; message=Job is rejected due to Project validation failed: Validation failed
/data/jess/temp/tmp155/14772/D:\Test\/Model_MC.idf does not exist or cannot be read.
Some of model template files are missing. Check file directory.
/data/jess/temp/tmp155/14772/D:\ ()"

The job can be run on my laptop, do you know what causes this problem?



Also, I had problem with EP 7.2, every time when I tried to open a .idf file, it says:
"Run-time error '52': Bad file name or number"


Thank you!

Hi Shang,

The project you submitted contains absolute paths, e.g. "D:\Test\Model_MC.idf". As you can see in the error message, JESS append the paths onto its local folder, and ends up with an invalid address as the result. In your project, you need to convert the absolute paths to a relative form. Try the "Change all paths to relative form" command in the "Edit" menu if you don't want to do it manually.

More details of project preparation can be found here: http://www.jeplus.org/wiki/doku.php?id=d...submission.

I am not sure what it is with E+ v7.2. Did you get the error message from JESS, or jEPlus, or your local EnergyPlus?

Cheers,

Yi

Dear Dr.Yi,

Thank you for your help, it works now!

As for the error in E+ 7.2. I got the error message from EPlanch. I am not sure what caused the problem, after using jEplus, I can't open the .idf file through E+ any more. Even other files that has never used in jEplus. I tried re-install E+, but still not working.


Best,

Shang

hmm, I wonder if it is the line end character... If you have Notepad++ or other text editors, open the IDF file and change the line end from Unix to Windows and see if it works. In Notepad++ the command can be found in Edit/EOL Conversion menu. Or you can send me the file to have a look.
