AOD access from ATHENA v 15

Instructions on how to run the Liverpool/Birmingham code that accesses AOD in Athena with overlap removal.

First log on to a machine with the ATHENA software (at Liverpool alpha, beta etc., up, down etc.)

Setup your cmthome directory

cd mkdir cmthome cd cmthome 

Download the file requirements and put it in cmthome:

Set up ATHENA for first time

source /batchsoft/atlas/athena/15.5.1/CMT/*/mgr/setup.sh cmt config 

Setup a work directory

cd mkdir AtlasWork15

cd AtlasWork15

mkdir 15.5.1

cd  15.5.1 

Setup ATHENA environment

source ~/cmthome/setup.sh -tag=15.5.1

Set up svn folloing the instructions to modify your .ssh/config found in https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/SoftwareDevelopmentWorkBookSVN

log into CERN.

/usr/kerberos/bin/kinit -5 username@CERN.CH 

Get the code

cd $TestArea 

svn co $SVNGRP/Physics/Common/BLAnalysis/BLBasic/trunk BLAnalysis/BLBasic 

svn co $SVNGRP/Physics/Common/BLAnalysis/BLUserExamples/trunk BLAnalysis/BLUserExamples

svn co $SVNGRP/Physics/Common/BLAnalysis/bl_tools/trunk BLAnalysis/bl_tools

Make version.cmt files:

cd $TestArea/BLAnalysis

 ./bl_tools/CreateVersion.sh 

[ Note: Subsequently all you need to do is setup

 source ~/cmthome/setup.sh -tag=15.5.1 

]

Compile

cd BLUserExamples/cmt 

cmt bro cmt config 

cmt bro gmake 

[ Note: Subsequently for most compiles you can speed things up with:

  gmake -f ../i686-slc4-gcc34-opt/BLUserExamples.make QUICK=yes 

If this doesn't work use the full compile:

 cmt bro gmake 

]

copy over joboption files

cd ../run 

cp ../share/*.py . 

uncomment the lines for the file lists in

 generaloptions.py.

e.g. for Liverpool it would be

 #include("liv.fileList_106050.PythiaZee.py")

NB if you want to run on files on the dpm you need to have a valid grid certificate and to set up ganga. At Liverpool do

source /batchsoft/atlas/grid/setup.sh -v 96:00

Run the code

athena.py   generaloptions.py >& Z.out & 

Plot the results

root -b -q ../Root/runFile.C

To find out the Geometry version of the input file use:

      dumpVersionTags.py -f  [full path to inputfile]  

and look for a line like :

       GeoAtlas                                            ATLAS-CSC-02-01-00 

To find out whats on the AOD in v15 run:

 checkFile.py filename.pool.root
