Description

• In the current GFS version, some jobs directly write to COMOUT via links in the working directories. This approach is risky, as downstream jobs might receive incomplete files and fail. In order to resolve this issue direct linking to COM from DATA should be removed. This PR addresses this issue in the wavepostsbs job.

  Resolves Remove direct linking to COM from DATA for wavepostsbs job #3302
  Refs [NCO Bug] Replace links with copy/move/rsync in workflow scripts #712
  Refs Replace link w/ copy in the forecast job #3273
