Hoi, another round of validation jobs is running (and if only my bfobjy jobs started as well, we'd also get a few data jobs in addition to the cocktail). The following summarizes my work on the sequences. 1. The instructions on the web are up to date and if you start with IslBrecoilUser ursl-080602bis you'll get a working setup. This is based on the tags in IBU/tags-080102: BetaCoreTools rf-080102 BetaMicro yumiceva-03June02 BetaMicroTruth V00-00-06-01 BetaPid V00-01-42-01 BetaSequences V00-10-09-01 BetaTools V00-10-27-08 BtaMicroSequences V00-01-03-02 CompositionSequences rf-072602 CompositionTools rf-072602 CompositionUtils rf-071702b DstarlnuUser rf-070102 ISLUser tb040902 workdir V00-04-08 This include Ric's fixes, Jane's additions (for GHit assoc and beamspot fixes in SP4), and Francisco's PidKilling. 2. BetaKanga has a bad influence on Bdb jobs, it 'screws' the Pid environment to be instantiated with the Roo version. We had a default setting of BetaKanga in bin_IslBrecoilUser.mk. 3. The new PidKilling does not work if the link to the location with all PidTables has a name different from 'pidtables'. This implies that the old setup where 'run' automatically sets an environment variable and islNew.tcl selects the correct PIDmaps-xxxx.txt file no longer works. Instead you now have to create THE symlink pidtables and then run MC jobs that belong ONLY to that period. According to Francisco, the change would be non-trivial. I have not checked. There is a printout in the logfile which PidTables directory was used, so we can check after running, that 2002 MC was actually using the PidTables for 2002. 4. The recommended BtaMicroSequences V00-01-03-02 is a tag that works only for MC. Hence there is a patch in IBU/IbuIsl.tcl to remove the offending modules from BetaLoadMicroSequence when running on data. The output has started to appear in ~ursl/d/{log|output}/sx-080602/. Please have a look. Don't yet start another round of production, I suggest we first look at the test ntuples. Cheers, --U.
