Hello Nathan, I think it would help to have some structure to the top-level directory as well. Perhaps simply by date, such as /mss/hallb/hps/data/2014 /mss/hallb/hps/data/2015 etc. I would also like to see some date information for the processed data, such as: /mss/hallb/hps/2014_commissioning /mss/hallb/hps/2015_commissioning /mss/hallb/hps/2015_physicsrun etc. or /mss/hallb/hps/2014/commissioning /mss/hallb/hps/2015/commissioning /mss/hallb/hps/2015/physicsrun etc. As for the subdirectories within, I would prefer the inverse sorting. I'm usually interested in a specific type of processed file, such as lcio, recon, dst. I'd like to be able to go directly there and not have to find a directory that contains the latest pass. so, for instance: /mss/hallb/hps/2014/commissioning/lcio/pass0 /mss/hallb/hps/2014/commissioning/dst/pass8 etc. Of course, if all of this is hidden from the end user behind a nice data catalog interface then it really doesn't matter that much.

Otherwise, a "jput" will make any subdirectories as needed, expect we need to ask for top-level subdirectories in /mss/hallb/hps. Some good convention should be chosen before doing this, since renaming/moving stuff requires asking a system administrator. Currently /mss/hallb/hps/production is mc, so I proposed to make /mss/hallb/hps/engrun contain subdirectories named according to the version of the real data's processing. We could start with /mss/hallb/hps/engrun/pass0; inside that can be lcio, recon,dst, ... If that's ok, I'll ask for /mss/hallb/hps/engrun to be created. -Nathan On Dec 16, 2014, at 10:50, Graham, Mathew Thomas <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > How can I do this? > > I'd like to add like "lcio", "recon", "dst"...things like that... ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the HPS-SOFTWARE list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=HPS-SOFTWARE&A=1 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the HPS-SOFTWARE list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=HPS-SOFTWARE&A=1
