Add .$DATENAME to ocean rpointer file pattern in config_archive.xml#333
Merged
Conversation
mom_cap.F90 writes dated rpointer files (rpointer.ocn.YYYY-MM-DD-SSSSS) by default, consistent with other components (CICE, CPL). The <rpointer_file> pattern was missing .$DATENAME, causing the archiver to fail matching the file and move it out of RUNDIR instead of copying it. This left RUNDIR without a rpointer file on the next segment, resulting in a buildnml error. Adding .$DATENAME fixes the match and ensures the file is copied, not moved.
