The AUDI imaging task will sometimes crash, most commonly when the restore on an early Cycle 5 dataset fails. For that specific case, a workaround known as "The Kludge" has been written by SSA. Other failure modes may still need manual runs. For fully manual runs, a dedicated node (currently cvpost016) is needed to run the interactive job, as the almapipe credentials are only supported on one processing node at a time. 

Step-by-step guide - "Classic" Kludged runs - restore with 5.1.1-5

1. Run will send fail email with error code 2 (note that error code 2 can also refer to other issues such as incomplete ASDM downloads, so double-check that the ASDMs in the raw directory do not have any ASDMBinary files ending .missing)
2. Starting in the spool/xxxx/xxxx/working directory, run almaReimageCube with specified restore and imaging versions (full path needed) and supply the job ID and directory uid (not the MOUS uid) to the --request parameter e.g. almaReimageCube --restore_casa /home/casa/packages/RHEL7/release/casa-release-5.1.1-5 --image_casa /home/casa/packages/pipeline/casa-6.1.1-10-pipeline-2020.1.0.36 --request 475229560 uid___A002_Xc89480_X1a40 (note this only works in pipelines that have the separate imaging recipe, CASA 6+)
3. The run should terminate as usual and the usual QA should be possible.
