Introduction

The production is not based on crab, but on 1+3 scripts. It can be run either on the grid or on the T3 batch system. The output is (by default) stored to CSCS, and should be replicated manually to PSI.

The production is divided into separate channels, e.g. Bs -> mu mu or Bs -> K mu nu. Each channel is produced in several runs. Different runs NEED different random seed initializations (else identical files are produced).

The production is split into (1) gen+sim+digi step and (2) reco steps. The reco step is fast, the time-consuming part is (1).

Files

An example production setup was called Winter10

• The `template' py files for the generation step are stored in Winter10/gen and have the runnumber as part of the filename.

• The `template' py files for the reco step are stored in Winter10/reco and have the runnumber as part of the filename.

• csh template scripts Winter10/gen.csh and Winter10/reco.csh are used to execute the job.

• A PERL script run is used to submit the jobs.

• Two PERL scripts monGrid and monSge are used to submit the grid and batch jobs, respectively.

• A PERL script 'replicate' (e.g. in ~ursl/perl/replicate) is used to 'replicate' the py files, replacing the (run)number in the filename and simultaneously inside the file.

Procedure

1) create a working directory for the production (which does not go to CVS)

  cd Winter10    
  mkdir production 
  cd production 

2) run the gen step (assumes tcsh, probably)

  mkdir BsToMuMu 
  cd BsToMuMu 
  cp ../../gen/BsToMuMu_7TeV_GEN_SIM_DIGI_L1_DIGI2RAW_HLT_START-10000.py .  
  replicate -f 10000 -l 10100 -p 10000 -t BsToMuMu_7TeV_GEN_SIM_DIGI_L1_DIGI2RAW_HLT_START-10000.py  
  setenv MODE BsToKK && ../../../../run -c ../../gen.csh -r "STORAGE1 srm://storage01.lcg.cscs.ch:8443/srm/managerv2\?SFN=/pnfs/lcg.cscs.ch/cms/trivcat/store/user/ursl/production/Winter10/${MODE}" -t ~/grid/Winter07/grid-1.tar.gz -m batch ${MODE}_7TeV_GEN_SIM_DIGI_L1_DIGI2RAW_HLT_START-100??.py 

Note that the argument after -m can be 'grid' or 'batch' or 'local' or 'debug' (in which case nothing happens).

3) Wait a while and then check the progress

  monGrid -o 

If something went wrong, and you want to remove the job's broken output from the SE, use

  monGrid -o -r  

If only a specific job should be looked at, use

  monGrid -o -u https://wms218.cern.ch:9000/XeAJqYxM_Yysmx9N5Wve9g 

If you ran in batch, use

  monSge 

instead. All the monitoring scripts assume that the job information is in a file called jobs.list.

4) Do a careful job with bookkeeping which channel has progressed how far and how successful it was.

4) Run the reco step:

  setenv MODE BsToKK && run -c ../../reco.csh -r "STORAGE1 srm://storage01.lcg.cscs.ch:8443/srm/managerv2\?SFN=/pnfs/lcg.cscs.ch/cms/trivcat/store/user/ursl/production/Winter10/${MODE}%INFILE ${MODE}_7TeV_GEN_SIM_DIGI_L1_DIGI2RAW_HLT_START-XXXX.root" -t ~/grid/Winter07/grid-2.tar.gz -m grid ${MODE}_7TeV_RAW2DIGI_RECO_START-100??.py
