Title: "No dakotaTab.out file - dakota failed .. possibly no QoI" Error
Post by: mcetink on October 09, 2022, 09:08:42 PM

Hello

I have created an EE-UQ setup, where I try to record user-defined EDPs. While my EE-UQ Setup file (i.e., the JSON file) works fine on an older version of EE-UQ (V2.5.1), it doesn't work on a relatively newer version (3.0.0), prompting the following error: "No dakotaTab.out file - dakota failed .. possibly no QoI". I am not sure why this is happening. I have written the post-processing script in Python.

I am happy to provide any requested file or information to troubleshoot the error I am getting from EE-UQ v3.0.0

Thank you in advance

Hi mcetink,

Sorry about the issue encountered in the user-defined EDPs - this could be related to the restructuring of the backend applications between v2.5.1 and v3.0.0 (so the old json configuration may need to be converted with new attribute keys/values to be processed by the version after 3.0.0).  It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide us with an example including the user-defined EDP script and an old version json input file, and we could help to look into and troubleshoot the error. 

Sorry about this inconvenience again and many thanks in advance,
Kuanshi

Hi, thank you for your response. The issue is resolved by installing the latest version of EE-UQ (the version available on EE-UQ's webpage at the time of writing this). I am now able to have the same EDP results between the latest EE-UQ and the older version.

Thank you
