Introduction

This page explains how to use the GoodRunsLists within AMAAthena. GoodRunsLists make it possible to select specific datasets AND lumiblocks satisfying detector and data quality constraints. A more general Atlas tutorial can be found here: GRL Tutorial.

Do it

There are a few steps to make, in order to get it all working.

1. First of all, you need an XML file with the datasets and lumiblocks you want to run over. To make one yourself, go to Atlas Run Query and enter a query containing all DQ flags you need/like. This page has lots of examples and help functions to assist in forming a query.

Press Show Runs, wait for it... and inspect the results. On the bottom of the page you can choose to view in 'pretty mode' or to dump the result in an XML file. Choose that one. Now you have your XML file. (It is also possible to take one supplied by your group, Atlas or anyone else you assume knows it all.)
