Configuration Files

File	Description
setup_jlab.csh	set-up script for farm environment at JLab
run.ffr.template	template configuration file for bggen with place-holder strings for the number of events and for the random number seed. Note that you must do a "ln -s run.ffr fort.15" in the run directory for bggen to respect the contents of run.ffr.
control.in_9001	template configuration file for hdgeant (historical name)
gsr.pl	Perl script to replace place-holder strings in configuration files with actual values. Original file is overwritten. Backup is made first. usage: gsr.pl <target-string> <replacement-string> <filename>
particle.dat	config file for bggen
pythia.dat	config file for bggen
pythia-geant.map	config file for bggen
check_monitoring_hists.py	script for checking the output of the monitoring_hists plugin

Getting Configuration Files

To check out all of these configuration files (and the html source of this web page):

    git clone https://github.com/jeffersonlab/gluex_simulations
    git clone https://github.com/markito3/jproj

Output File Location

Job Output Files

At JLab you can find the output files archived in the tape library. The location is /mss/halld/gluex_simulations/sim1 There are directories there, that contain output files for each job. Each output file type has its own directory:

hd_root: ROOT files from hd_root
rest: REST format event data
smeared: HDDM formated "raw" event data (without reconstruction)

Use the "jcache" or "jget" commands to retrieve the files from tape.

Job Log Files

Standard output and standard error files from each job are in /work/halld/gluex_simulations/sim1/logs. The run number and file number are encoded in the name. Note that a particular run-number/file-number may correspond to multiple jobs; you are probably interested in the latest one.

Standard Build

The environment can be setup by running:

source /group/halld/www/halldweb/html/gluex_simulations/sim1/setup_jlab.csh
