Re: Run Manager Configuration

Hello Quinn,

First of all, congratulations on getting to the point where you are
ready to run UrbanSim 4 with your own data! I am not sure that I can
solve the problem you are encountering, but I can let you see our
configuration file (attached).

At SEMCOG we are running the Nov. 21 version of UrbanSim. So a few
things might be different for you, depending on the version you are
using. We do not specify models_configurations in our configuration
file. We import this from
urbansim.configs.general_configuration_with_changed_elcm.

So, not sure that helps you at all, but I thought I would let you know
how we are getting it to run. Once again, congratulations and welcome
to the small group of users (3?) that are using Urbansim/OPUS with their
own data.

Hello,

I've recently completed the database for the El Paso Pilot study area
and
have begun to try to run UrbanSim. I've had some success in creating
the run
configuration, e.g. all tables are cached and gridcells unrolled, but
now as
I try to add 'models' to the run configuration I have had nothing but
failure.see below.

I am adding one 'model' entry and its corresponding controller entry at
a
time and am stuck on the first: 'prescheduled_events'
The error is as follows:

C:\workspace\eppilot\tools>python start_run.py -c baseline_run
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "start_run.py", line 54, in ?
    config = get_config_from_opus_path(opus_path)
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\opus_core\misc.py", line 540, in
get_config_from_opus_path
    exec(import_stmt)
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\workspace\eppilot\tools\baseline_run.py", line 75, in ?
 
run_configuration['models_configuration']['prescheduled_events']['controller
'] = {
KeyError: 'models_configuration'

My 'baseline_run' file looks like this:

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help provided.
