Ricardo, The swarm issue can be resolved by changing the value for iterationcount in the SwarmDescription.py file from -1 to 1000.
Matt: This must be in a FAQ . A lot of folks seem to get stuck here with the the swarm running forever. Chandan On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 4:00 AM, Ricardo Franco <[email protected]> wrote: > ok.
