These are the quick-start instructions for a combined grid production effort.

=== Set up environment ===

 * log on to the NAF
 * set up athena (version will change in the future) and panda:
{{{
asetup 16.0.3.8.2,TopPhys --testarea="/afs/naf.desy.de/user/c/clange/atlas/production/16.0.3.8.2"
export PATHENA_GRID_SETUP_SH=/afs/cern.ch/project/gd/LCG-share/current/etc/profile.d/grid_env.sh
source /afs/cern.ch/atlas/offline/external/GRID/DA/panda-client/latest/etc/panda/panda_setup.sh
cd $TestArea/PhysicsAnalysis/TopPhys/SingleTopDPDMaker/share
}}}

=== check your submission settings ===

We somehow have to make sure that people don't change the configuration files while other people are submitting. A good idea would be to have Athena Auto-Configuration do all the settings automatically. This already works except for the Data=True/False switch (this should technically also be possible in the near future). Until then:

 * make sure you set Data=True/False correctly in runSingleTopDPDMaker.py

The rest works out of the box.

=== submit jobs ===

To execute job submission issue:
{{{
./SingleTopDPDSubmission Submission_jobOption.py
}}}

It might be a good idea to do all steps from the top in a screen, because job submission can take a while. Make sure that all jobs are submitted correctly. You need to enter your grid proxy passphrase for the submission.

=== job monitoring ===

You can monitor your jobs via the [[http://panda.cern.ch|panda webinterface]]

To re-submit jobs use [[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/PandaBook|pbook]]

More information on Panda can be found at https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/Atlas/DAonPanda

=== copying of datasets to DESY-ZN_LOCALGROUPDISK ===

The replication of the datasets is automatically requested by the pathena job. In order to see the progress of replication, have a look at this webpage: http://panda.cern.ch/server/pandamon/query?mode=ddm_pathenareq&action=List

You must freeze your datasets once the job is successfully finished in this way:
{{{
for i in `dq2-ls user.clange.STop1561291.*.20101117*`; do dq2-freeze-dataset $i; done;
}}}

You can ignore errors about dataset owners and forbidden characters like:
{{{
Error: [USER][FATAL] User /C=DE/O=GermanGrid/OU=DESY/CN=Valentina Ferrara is not the owner of dataset user.vferrara.STop1561291.mc09_7TeV.105861.TTbar_PowHeg_Pythia.merge.AOD.e521_s765_s767_r1302_r1306.20101117.101118144919_sub012560707

Error: [USER][OTHER] / character isn't allowed in this parameter [user.vferrara.STop1561291.mc09_7TeV.105861.TTbar_PowHeg_Pythia.merge.AOD.e521_s765_s767_r1302_r1306.20101117/]!
}}}
