Assertion 'Cannot write magic record to trace' failed.

[psing51]

Hi,
I am trying vtune 2020u0 on rhel 7.6 in intel 8280.
For testing the setup i used APS, and it ran fine and generated the results without any issue.

Then i tried out the hpc-performance analysis on using amplxe-cl command as - 

time mpirun -np $SLURM_NPROCS -ppn $SLURM_NTASKS_PER_NODE amplxe-cl -collect hpc-performance -data-limit 0 -result-dir result_hpcperf -- ${INSTALL_ROOT}/wrf.exe

 the run has finished , but is seems that the data gathering command has experienced some issue - 

WRF: SUCCESS COMPLETE wrf
vcs/collectunits1/tmu/src/tmu.c:437 write_trace: Assertion 'Cannot write magic record to trace' failed.

around 11 hours have elapsed and i still see amplxe-cl process running (top command)

and i can see a 17mb directory was also created (result_hpcperf.node1).
I am not sure if i will face issues with other collection/analysis types
Though i tried out the amplxe self checker script, and log seems to indicate that the setup is fine.

Please let me know if i can provide more information from my end to fix this issue.

Hi,

please try the same analysis type on some simple application like ls. If it works then please try your mpirun command without libittnotify_collector.so (you can just rename this library located in <vtune_install>/lib64/runtime).

Hi Puneet,

Could you please confirm whether the above solution worked for you.
