PathenaStartup

Background

These are some personal notes taken while trying out the SUSY validation package, run via pathena. (Not meant for public consumption!)

• This approach ultimately failed - see note below, and the follow-on attempt at PathenaTry2.

Host

• Working from uct3-edge4.uchicago.edu, an SLC4 32 bit host

Initial setup host environment

• kinit -p rgardner
• cd $HOME
• mkdir pathena
• mkdir pathena/13.0.30
• mkdir cmthome
• cd $HOME/cmthome
• source /osg/app/atlas_app/atlas_rel/13.0.30/CMT/v1r20p20070720/mgr/setup.sh
• cp /osg/app/atlas_app/atlas_rel/13.0.30/cmtsite/requirements .
• Modifications:
  • added macro ATLAS_TEST_AREA ${HOME}/pathena to the $HOME/cmthome/requirements file.
  • Also:

         #apply_tag noTest
         apply_tag simpleTest

• If one fails to make these modifications, you may get errors like this: IncludePermissionsError.
• cmt config
• logout

Setup environment

• kinit -p rgardner
• source ~/cmthome/setup.sh -tag=13.0.30,32,setup
• The last little bit, ,setup was needed to get the runtime environment setup as needed during the build of SUSYValidation package.

Get packages

• cd ~/pathena/13.0.30
• Checkout pathena $ cmt co PhysicsAnalysis/DistributedAnalysis/PandaTools
• Check out SUSYValidation package: $ cmt co PhysicsAnalysis/SUSYPhys/SUSYValidation

Compile PandaTools

• cd /home/rwg/pathena/13.0.30/PhysicsAnalysis/DistributedAnalysis/PandaTools/
• cd cmt
• cmt config
• source setup.sh
• gmake
• logout

Compile SUSYValidation

• kinit -p rgardner
• source ~/cmthome/setup.sh -tag=13.0.30,32,setup
• cd ~/pathena/13.0.30/PhysicsAnalysis/SUSYPhys/SUSYValidation/
• gmake
• logout

Get the job option file into run area

• (Aside: a note on get_files)
• Fresh environment
• cd /home/rwg/pathena/13.0.30/PhysicsAnalysis/SUSYPhys/SUSYValidation/run/
• get_files SUSYValidation_jobOptions.py

Setup grid proxy

On my cluster this is:

• source /share/osg-client/setup.sh
• grid-proxy-init

Note - to use the BNL client, source /afs/usatlas.bnl.gov/lcg/current/etc/profile.d/grid_env.sh.

Run Pathena

• pathena --inDS valid2_valid1.005403.SU3_jimmy_susy.recon.AOD.v13003003 --outDS user.RobGardner.test --site ANALY_MWT2 SUSYValidation_jobOptions.py
• First attempt failed - PathenaFail1
• RIGHT HERE IS WHERE WE STOPPED. INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR RUNNING AT A TIER2 OUT OF THE DISTRIBUTION KIT, USING OSG CLIENT FOR GRID TOOLS.
  • See the second attempt, PathenaTry2.
