Reset simulation hasdata status (easier method)
If VCell client simulation list view says 'hasdata=no' but there is data
-----Find sim id (click 'i' button when sim is selected) -> theSimID
-----log into vcell-node1 (or any node not in DMZ, not vcellapi or vcellapi-beta)
-----Check data exists, give cmd " ls /share/apps/vcell3/users/boris/SimID_theSimID* "
-----open oracle db tool (toad,sql,squirrel), log into vcell@vcell-db.cam.uchc.edu and do query " select * from vc_simulationjob where simref=theSimID; "
-----If the query column 'hasdata' is blank then do update " update vc_simulationJob set hasdata='Y' where simref=theSimID; " and " commit; "
-----log into vcellapi(Rel) or vcellapi-beta(Alpha)
-----Restart VCell docker scheduler service with cmd " sudo docker service update --force --detach=false vcell{rel,alpha}_sched "

Reset simulation hasdata status (if easier method doesn't work, try this)

Start remote debug session on the vcell-sched service (using vcell-server project) -----sudo docker stack ps vcellrel | grep -i running ( to find vcell-sched host for remote debug)
-----sudo docker service ls (to find service to attach to)
-----ssh to node servcie is running on and do sudo docker ps (find container name of vcell-sched
----- sudo docker container logs -f {containerID}
Let conditional code run for awhile until the database and services get synchronized (a few minutes) -----Restart VCell docker scheduler service with cmd " sudo docker service update --force --detach=false vcell{rel,alpha}_sched "

Useful docker commands
sudo docker node ls ({vcellapi(rel), vcellapi-beta(alpha)}shows all nodes in swarm that host belongs to, must be on manager node)
sudo docker stack ls (shows all running stacks in the swarm)
sudo docker stack ps {stack} (shows 'task' info for particular stack)
sudo docker service ls (shows all services and port mappings for the swarm)
sudo docker system df (shows disk usage on host)
sudo docker system prune (gets rid of unused/dangling components)
sudo docker stats (must be run on each host of swarm, show cpu,mem,... for each container)
