How to get Panda running on lxplus
The following commands are used to run TopPhysDPDMaker with pathena:
export PATHENA_GRID_SETUP_SH=/afs/cern.ch/project/gd/LCG-share/current/etc/profile.d/grid_env.sh source ~/cmthome_top/setup.sh -tag=AtlasProduction,14.5.0.6,32,releases cd $HOME/atlas/top/14.5.0.6/PhysicsAnalysis/TopPhys/TopPhysDPDMaker/run source /afs/cern.ch/atlas/offline/external/GRID/DA/panda-client/latest/etc/panda/panda_setup.sh
You have to add a line to the TopPhysDPDSubmission script located in TopPhysDPDMaker/share to account for the required slash ("/") in the dq2 datasets. To remove that from the dataset outputname, add the last line shown below in the "Submit" section:
... else: splitName=sample.split(".") sampleShortName=".".join([splitName[0], splitName[1], splitName[2], splitName[5]]) sampleShortName=sampleShortName.strip('/') #<-- add this line ...
You're ready to run the TopPhysTools:
TopPhysDPDSubmission TopDefault_subOptions.py
How to get Panda running on NAF
The steps are very similar to the ones shown above for lxplus. However, you have to install PanDA yourself first:
wget https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/pub/Atlas/PandaTools/panda-client-0.1.74.tar.gz tar xvfz panda-client-* cd panda-client-* python setup.py install --prefix=[install dir]
where [install dir] might e.g. be ~/panda (which is what is used later on)
Set up Athena:
source ~/cmthome_top/setup.sh -tag=AtlasProduction,14.5.0.6,32,releases
Set grid environment from CERN, if you use the one from DESY, your grid proxy will not be recognised later.
export PATHENA_GRID_SETUP_SH=/afs/cern.ch/project/gd/LCG-share/current/etc/profile.d/grid_env.sh
For the remaining steps see above. You also have to adjust the TopPhysDPDSubmission script.
