Setting up 1207

Athena 12.0.7

Release 12.0.7 is the nominal 'final' release in the 12 release series. It is equivalent to 12.0.6.5 with some extra add-ons, notably the lastest set of DC3 jobOptions (including the recently defined Wbb/cc+ jets samples for the topwg) and the combined Evgen+atlfast tranformation that performs the Evgen step and subsequent AtlFast processing on one step.

The difference between release 12.0.7 and patch 12.0.7.1 are neglible, the only notable one for end users is that the latter has a more recent version of DC3_jobOptions, so unless you know what you are doing you should make that your default. All future patches of 12.0.7 will exclusively consist of further jobOptions updates. No code or configuration changes will happen.

You should not be using release 12.0.6 at nikhef anymore as this is the unpatched version that is known to have several important bugs.

Athena 12.0.7 with EventView group area

First time

The following needs to be done only once:

• source /data/atlas/offline/12.0.7/CMT/v1r19/mgr/setup.csh
• mkdir ~/cmthome
  You need this, since you're going to use a customised requirements file
• create the file ~/cmthome/requirements with the following contents:

set CMTSITE STANDALONE
set SITEROOT /data/atlas/offline/12.0.7

macro ATLAS_DIST_AREA ${SITEROOT}
macro ATLAS_TEST_AREA /project/atlas/users/<username>
macro ATLAS_GROUP_AREA /data/atlas/offline/EVGroupArea

apply_tag projectArea
macro SITE_PROJECT_AREA ${SITEROOT}
macro EXTERNAL_PROJECT_AREA ${SITEROOT}

apply_tag opt
apply_tag simpleTest

use AtlasLogin AtlasLogin-* $(ATLAS_DIST_AREA)

set CMTCONFIG i686-slc3-gcc323-opt
set DBRELEASE_INSTALLED  3.1.1

set CMTSTRUCTURINGSTYLE "with_version_directory"

Note I : ATLAS_TEST_AREA should be modified (without the '12.0.7'), the ATLAS_GROUP_AREA is needed for TopView.
Note II: The CMTSTRUCTURINGSTYLE setting is needed to have the package version in the directory name, eg.
PhysicsAnalysis/TopPhys/TopView/TopView-00-12-13-03 instead of PhysicsAnalysis/TopPhys/TopView.

• in the ~/cmthome directory do cmt config
• create a file ~/init1207.csh which contains:

  #! /bin/csh
  # 1 -- setup Athena 12.0.7
  source ~/cmthome/setup.csh -tag=setup,12.0.7,groupArea
  
  # 2 -- go to working area
  cd /project/atlas/users/<username>/12.0.7
  

  It will be used everytime you start a new session.
  

  The 'groupArea' tag is needed for TopView

Everytime

When you start a new shell you should:

• source ~/init1207.csh
  

Setting up TopView

In your 12.0.7 working area (e.g. /project/atlas/users/<username>/12.0.7 ) do:

klog.krb -tmp -cell cern.ch -principal <afs accountname>
cmt co -r TopView-00-12-13-03 PhysicsAnalysis/TopPhys/TopView

After the TopView code has been checked out go to the TopView/cmt directory compile the code:

cmt config
source setup.csh
gmake

That's it!

Note: The file LocalOverride.py in TopView/run can be used to create customised TopView ntuples
