NIKHEF PAT workshop Oct2006

Set up CMT

• Login to lxplus at CERN and create a working directory called "Tutorial". We will use the release 12.0.2 this tutorial:

ssh lxplus.cern.ch
cd scratch0
mkdir Tutorial
cd Tutorial
mkdir 12.0.2

• Create a file called "requirements" and setup CMT. My requirements file looks like this where my working area for 12.0.2 is ${HOME}/scratch0/Workshop/12.0.2:

set   CMTSITE  CERN
set   SITEROOT /afs/cern.ch
macro ATLAS_DIST_AREA ${SITEROOT}/atlas/software/dist
                      
macro ATLAS_GROUP_AREA "/afs/cern.ch/atlas/groups/PAT/Tutorial"
 
macro ATLAS_TEST_AREA "" \
        12.0.2 "${HOME}/scratch0/Workshop/12.0.2"
 
 
apply_tag oneTest
 
use AtlasLogin AtlasLogin-* $(ATLAS_DIST_AREA)

• Then do the following:

source /afs/cern.ch/sw/contrib/CMT/v1r18p20060301/mgr/setup.sh
cmt config

Setup for the release 12.0.2

• Do the following:

source setup.sh -tag=12.0.2

• Check that the CMT path is correct by doing this

echo $CMTPATH

• Stuff like this should be printed to your screen:

/afs/cern.ch/user/o/ordonez/scratch0/Workshop/12.0.2:
/afs/cern.ch/atlas/software/builds/AtlasOffline/12.0.2

• You see that the path to your working directory, the path to the release directory and the external are set correctly - do not proceed unless this is done correctly.

Run Time Setup

• Go to your working area and check out the follow package:

cd 12.0.2
cmt co -r UserAnalysis-00-08-05 PhysicsAnalysis/AnalysisCommon/UserAnalysis

• Now compile everything as follows:

cd PhysicsAnalysis/AnalysisCommon/UserAnalysis/cmt
cmt config
source setup.sh
cmt broadcast gmake
cd ../run

• To test that everything has been done correctly, do:

get_files HelloWorldOptions.py
athena.py -b HelloWorldOptions.py 

• Stuff like this should be printed to the screen:

HelloWorld           INFO execute()
HelloWorld           INFO An INFO message
HelloWorld           WARNING A WARNING message
HelloWorld           ERROR An ERROR message
HelloWorld           FATAL A FATAL error message
AthenaEventLoopMgr   INFO   ===>>>  end of event 9    <<<===
HistorySvc           INFO Service finalised successfully
ChronoStatSvc.f...   INFO  Service finalized succesfully
ToolSvc              INFO Removing all tools created by ToolSvc
ApplicationMgr       INFO Application Manager Finalized successfully
ApplicationMgr       INFO Application Manager Terminated successfully

The Next Time You Login

• The next time you login, just do the following:

cd ${HOME}/scratch0/Workshop
source setup.sh -tag=12.0.2
cd 12.0.2/PhysicsAnalysis/AnalysisCommon/UserAnalysis/cmt
source setup.sh
cd ../run

Get The Necessary Files

• We will use inclusive Z to mumu events (sample 4202), digitized in 11.0.41 but the ESD and AOD produced in the release 12.0.1. Copy the PoolFileCatalog.xml for the AOD, ESD and Raw Data (RDO) into your UserAnalysis "run" directory:

cp ~ordonez/scratch0/Workshop/12.0.2/data/PoolFileCatalog.xml .
cp ~ordonez/scratch0/Workshop/12.0.2/data/*.py .

Run the AnalysisSkeleton for 500 Events

• get the necessary job options file from the release:

get_files AnalysisSkeleton_jobOptions.py

• Edit AnalysisSkeleton_jobOptions.py and specify the input data to be the AOD files that you just copied in the previous step: to do this, replace these lines

EventSelector.InputCollections = [ 
  "AOD.pool.root"
                                 ]

• with this line

include( "mc11.004201.ZeeJimmy.recon.AOD.v11000401.py" )

• Check that in AnalysisSkeleton_jobOptions.py, the number of events to run is set to 500:

# Number of Events to process
theApp.EvtMax = 500

• Now run the AnalysisSkeleton_jobOptions.py. It should produce a file called AnalysisSkeleton.aan.root which contains some ROOT histograms and an AthenaAwareNTuple:

athena.py AnalysisSkeleton_jobOptions.py | tee athenaout.log

• You've just produced the AthenaAwareNTuple in a standalone way, directly on the AOD, or the ESD or even on the RDO. For Further details on how to produce the AthenaAwareNTuple in this way, follow this link: AthenaAwareNTuple.

• Now, you may look at the the AnalysisSkeleton.h, the AnalysisSkeleton.cxx and AnalysisSkeleton_jobOptions.py to see how the ROOT histograms and the AthenaAwareNTuple of the output file AnalysisSkeleton.aan.root are defined, filled and saved: Follow this link to the AnalysisSkeleton. For further details on how to produces ROOT histograms and Tuples in ATHENA, look at the THistSvc.

• You should open the output file AnalysisSkeleton.aan.root in ROOT and browse the histograms and the AthenaAwareNTuple:

root AnalysisSkeleton.aan.root
new TBrowser

• You will notice that beside the user-defined NTuple, the AthenaAwareNTuple tools add references to the AOD, ESD and Raw Data, in addition the RunNumber and the EventNumber.

More Information

• For further details on the analysis tools, look at the PhysicsAnalysisTools. Details on the content of the ESD, the AOD and the TAG are on StoregateKeysForESD, StoregateKeysForAOD and TagForEventSelection.
