set up

Before beginning the analysis, you need the data. In directory runs, we will create a file that points to the data. First locate the data on PDSF and do

ls /auto/path/to/data/.../somedir/ > runs/runs_something.txt

You may have to add a line to the file, and then you should have a file that looks like...

/auto/stardata/starspec3/flow_pDST_production/reco/minBias22GeVZDC/
2329088
2329089
2329091
2329092
...

create a directory called fits

mkdir fits

then

1. edit y0templatexyz.lsf

• change e-mail in the header (only need to do once), the system will notify you when a batch job is done
• set up cuts
• choose (the .txt file you created in previous section) in section set filetxt = .
• set which variable(s) to plot in set toPlot = .

2. edit yallxyz.scr

• change run method near the end of file: bsub is for submitting a batch run (a lot of files, will run in background); source is for running right away (a test run with just a few files, you see progress on screen)

3. now you are ready to run, do
source yallxyz.scr
and follow instructions.
commands for batch jobs:
- type bjobs to see run status
- type bkill jobID to end a job

4. once finished, subdirectories and files will be created in fits directory, with the name according what you specify in the previous step. The filename will be xyz.rootsave
