HOWTO run an analysis launch on bggen simulations

Setup the Software & Environment

1) Checkout (or svn update) the launch scripts if needed:

svn co https://halldsvn.jlab.org/repos/trunk/scripts/monitoring/launch

2) You will need only the following 3 files:

launch.py
script.sh
jobs_analysis_bggen.config

3) Make a new jana_analysis.config with your channel:

PLUGINS monitoring_hists,ReactionFilter
NTHREADS 16
COMBO:MAX_NEUTRALS 15
Reaction1  1_14__8_9_14                 # pi+ pi- p
Reaction1:Flags B4

Prepare the Launch

1) Update jobs_analysis_bggen.config. Be sure to update the location for the SCRIPTFILE, JANA_CONFIG, and ENVFILE where appropriate. The xml file that was used for the analysis launch for data should be chosen:

ENVFILE                analysis-2017_01-ver46.xml

2) Also update the paths for INDATA_TOPDIR, OUTDIR_LARGE (for trees and histograms), and OUTDIR_SMALL (for log files):

INDATA_TOPDIR    /cache/halld/gluex_simulations/REQUESTED_MC/F2018_ver02_21_bggen_batch01_20211104064237pm/hddm
OUTDIR_LARGE     /volatile/halld/home/$USER/bggen
OUTDIR_SMALL     /farm_out/$USER/bggen

4) Create the SWIF workflow. The workflow must match the workflow name in the job config file:

swif create -workflow <my_workflow>

5) Register jobs for the workflow:

~/monitoring/launch/launch.py jobs_analysis_bggen.config <run_min> <run_max>

6) Run the workflow:

swif run -workflow <my_workflow>
