GDASApp EE2 compliance checklist for GFS v17 & v18

[RussTreadon-NOAA]

This issue is opened as a one-stop-shop to list GDASApp related EE2 compliance issues

• Build issues; Do not build libraries e.g. CRTM, FMS, FV3, MOM6, Icepak, etc.
  • Use the ufs-weather-model library in GDASApp in place of FV3, MOM6, Icepak (Dom H. was working on this in JEDI)
  • Use CRTM and CRTM-fix module instead of building and downloading fix files - GDASApp issue #1268.
  • Don’t download test data as part of build process - GDASApp issue #1269
  • Use FMS module - GDASApp PR #1221
• Install executables into $HOMEgfs/exec - GDASApp issue #1302
• Build warnings and build and run in debug mode
• Relocate job scripts to global-workflow
  • partially addressed by g-w PR #2920
• Copy any other needed files to global-workflow as part of link_workflow.sh (no job script should look in the gdas.cd directory)

Separate issues and PRs will be opened to address the above tasks.

GDASApp PR #1221 resolved the FMS task.

[RussTreadon-NOAA]

CRTMv3 should address task Use CRTM and CRTM-fix module instead of building and downloading fix files.

[RussTreadon-NOAA]

GDASApp issue #1268 has been created to track the move from using a GDASapp built CRTM to using a pre-installed CRTM build via a module load.

[RussTreadon-NOAA]

GDASApp issue #1269 has been created to track the addition of flags to optionally turn off the downloading of test data during the GDASApp build.

I see in this PR: JCSDA-internal/ioda-converters#1548

  set(CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH TRUE)
  set(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH "${CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH}:${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib64")

I wonder if we can add this to our gdas.x compile and solve the copy vs link executable issue?

[RussTreadon-NOAA]

Thanks @CoryMartin-NOAA for spotting JCSDA-internal/ioda-converters#1548. Trying this in GDASApp is a good idea. Worse case is that it doesn't solve the copy -vs- link executable issue. Best case is that it does and we can check this item off the GDASApp EE2 compliance list.

GDASApp PR #1282 along with g-w PR #2920 partially address checklist item Relocate job scripts to global-workflow. Work for these PRs is complete.
