[Gate-users] Problem with merging delay - fastMerge option

[dounia84 at aol.com]

Hello Gaters,

I am using Gate v4 on a cluster machine SGE. I am having troubles when using the fastMerge option. 
I also had problems with the usual merger (posted in another mail) with eventID run ID and photon ID that were not written properly or something. 
Here is my error message, and no output is created(ROOT):

Problem with merging delay


Does anyone use a SGE cluster to run Gate jobs? Did anyone had had this problem before? Could this be explained by  the way SGE (which is a platform unsupported by Gate originally) returns values?


Thank you for ANY help.
Thankfully,
