And now when I use parameter2xml to convert task.txt to task.xml, I met error just like alps_para2xml_error.JPG. The error information is Caught exception: parameter parse error at "[L*SWEEPS]; { L=10; T=0.1; } {"
Surrounding a parameter value by [ and ] is obsolete. Please use a pair of double quotation marks or single ones instead. E.g.
WORK_FACTOR="L*SWEEPS"; // or WORK_FACTOR='L*SWEEPS';
Since the parameter value does not contain any spaces in this example, you can even write more simply as
WORK_FACTOR=L*SWEEPS;
If I use the job.in.xml and parm.task1.in.xml of ALPS website, I also do not know how to use the alps-applications to get the result. I use "$HOME/ALPS/bin/main job.in.xml "(from the website at http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki-1.9.3/index.php/Tutorial:RunningSimulati... ), but there is the error information about "No such file or directory".
"main" should be replaced by the actual application name you want to run, i.e. spimmc, etc.
Best, Synge
