These types of schema errors typically happen if SLIC cannot access the URL for the XSD file it needs to download for validating the XML files. So that suggests a farm/JLAB network hiccup when the job ran. You may also set the GDML_SCHEMA_DIR variable to a directory containing all the XSD files that are needed which is covered here. https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/ilc/How+can+I+make+SLIC+look+for+XML+schemas+in+a+local+directory Or just try the job again.... -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bradley T Yale Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2016 10:07 AM To: Rafayel Paremuzyan; hps-software Subject: Re: XML error affecting SLIC No jar. SLIC doesn't need one. It only depends on things like the .lcdd xml file, but the one used is found in the hps-soft/detector-data/... directory. I'll keep troubleshooting to see if it was farm-related. ________________________________ From: Rafayel Paremuzyan <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, June 2, 2016 10:22:09 AM To: Bradley T Yale; [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: XML error affecting SLIC Hi Brad, not sure if that is the cause, but which JAR are you using? hps-distribution-bin.jar, or some specific snapshot or release. Yesterday around 16:20 I changed hps-distribution-bin.jar to point the 3.9 release, to start the test pass0 Rafo On 02/06/2016 02:44, Bradley T Yale wrote: Does anyone know what the following error is about? It is apparently xml-related, and affects running SLIC: "fatal error: systemId: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd> line: 1 column: 3 markup declaration expected" "fatal error: systemId: /u/group/hps/hps_soft/detector-data/detectors/HPS-EngRun2015-Nominal-v4-4-fieldmap/HPS-EngRun2015-Nominal-v4-4-fieldmap.lcdd line: 2 column: 189 fatal error during schema scan" This then causes Geant4 to crash in the standard way. The same script used (/u/group/hps/production/mc/EngRun2015Scripts/slic/wab-beam-tri_100.xml) worked as of May 18-19, and others using the same detector worked early this week. Did something change very recently that might affect this? Like around the time of the release? -Bradley ________________________________ 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 ######################################################################## 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
