Running on Cosmics at CERN

Introduction

Carl has written a very useful script to run jobs on the (reprocessed ) cosmic data on the Lxplus batch queues. This has only been validated on the reprocessed data, using the default jobOption_cosmic.py file. Please note that, this was validated in 14.5.X . The jobOption file that i used to test is in

 ~hhayward/public/RunningOnCosmics/jobOptions_cosmic.py

Currently this won't work for RAW data, but can be modified. Please email if this is of use to you !

• You will need to take care of the geometry tag yourself if you are not running on the reprocessed data.
  • It should take care of the magnetic field tag itself.
• you will need to care that the doReadBS flag is correctly set in your jobOptions file

Example

• Setup ATLAS in your favourite release, and checkout the corresponding version of InDetRecExample.
  • to find out the corresponding version, type:

     cmt show versions InnerDetector/InDetExample/InDetRecExample 

  • to check out:

     cmt co -r InDetRecExample-XX-YY-ZZ InnerDetector/InDetExample/InDetRecExample 

• Setup the directory:

      cd InnerDetector/InDetExample/InDetRecExample/cmt
      cmt config && source setup.sh && gmake
      cd ../run
      cp ~hhayward/public/RunningOnCosmics/Batch.py ~hhayward/public/RunningOnCosmics/submit.sh .
      cp ../share/jobOptions_cosmics.py .

• make sure that doReadBS=False
• edit such that it points to your directories and not mine !
• you now should be able to run !

  source submit.sh
