Difference between "Archive output path" and "Archive path"

[aidanheerdegen]

@utkarshgupta95 pointed out that 01deg_jra55v13_ryf9091 doesn't have "Archive output path"

paths:
    Archive path: /scratch/v45/amh157/access-om2/archive/01deg_jra55v13_ryf9091
    Control path: /home/157/amh157/payu/01deg_jra55v13_ryf9091
    Output path: /g/data/ik11/outputs/access-om2-01/01deg_jra55v13_ryf9091/output372
    Restart path: null
    Sync output path: /g/data/ik11/outputs/access-om2-01/01deg_jra55v13_ryf9091/output372
    Sync path: /g/data/ik11/outputs/access-om2-01/01deg_jra55v13_ryf9091

but 01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4 does:

  paths:
    Archive output path: /scratch/v45/aek156/access-om2/archive/01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4/output732
    Archive path: /scratch/v45/aek156/access-om2/archive/01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4
    Control path: /home/156/aek156/payu/01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4
    Output path: /g/data/cj50/access-om2/raw-output/access-om2-01/01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4/output732
    Restart path: null
    Sync output path: /g/data/cj50/access-om2/raw-output/access-om2-01/01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4/output732
    Sync path: /g/data/cj50/access-om2/raw-output/access-om2-01/01deg_jra55v140_iaf_cycle4

What is the difference between them, and what circumstances does "Archive output path" not exist?

[aidanheerdegen]

Clearly I need to read a bit more before posting issues, I can see "Archive output path" is "Archive path" with the output dir appended. So I am assuming that "Archive output path" only exists if the data still resides there, and hasn't been removed after syncing to "Sync output path"?

Yes, "Archive output path" only exists if there is a dir with that path https://github.com/aekiss/run_summary/blob/db8b1961f1500465c522431d84e7bdf5f56c49e6/run_summary.py#L652-L656
