Difference: AtlasPathena (1 vs. 5)

Compiling takes all day

Once you've got a job running with a:

pathena mycooljoboptions.py --inDS dataset --outDS dataset

You can go to the panda monitoring page and find the name of the library dataset produced by the build step.

As long as you're happy with this set of binaries and you only want to change your top level job options for your next job, you can do:

pathena mycoolerjoboptions.py --inDS dataset --outDS dataset --libDS library dataset

And go straight to running.

https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/DAonPanda#How_to_migrate_to_DQ2_0_3

The following describes how to update your existing version of pathena:

Update your pathena version

(1) Firstly Remove Existing Panda Tools

cd ~/somewhere/12.0.6/PhysicsAnalysis/DistributedAnalysis/PandaTools/cmt
gmake clean
cd ../../../
rm -r DistributedAnalysis

(2)Now check it out again:

cd ~/somedirectory/12.0.6
cmt co PhysicsAnalysis/DistributedAnalysis/PandaTools
cd PhysicsAnalysis/DistributedAnalysis/PandaTools/cmt
source setup.sh
make

(3)Do a CVS update

cd ~/somedirectory/12.0.6/PhysicsAnalysis/DistributedAnalysis/PandaTools
cvs update

(4) Check that you have the latest version

cvs status ChangeLog 

You should see Working Revision: 1.7

(5) Last step:

cd cmt
setup.sh
make

Distributed Analysis on Panda

https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/DAonPanda

In order to set up pathena at UCL, follow the instructions below:

First, make sure you have a grid certificate. See Starting on the Grid. You should have usercert.pem and userkey.pem under ~/.globus. Then setup Athena because pathena works in the Athena runtime environment.

Then checkout PandaTools which contains pathena (for 13.0.X or 12.0.X, instructions for 11.0.X can be found here https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/DAonPanda):

cd /somewhere/workarea      //this is your workarea where your analysis code is in, eg: testarea1206/12.0.6/
export CMTPATH=`pwd`:${CMTPATH}
export PATHENA_GRID_SETUP_SH=/usr/local/glite/etc/profile.d/grid_env.sh
cmt co PhysicsAnalysis/DistributedAnalysis/PandaTools
cd PhysicsAnalysis/DistributedAnalysis/PandaTools/cmt
source setup.sh
make
cd /somewhere/workarea/.../somedirectory              //this means go to your run directory in your analysis code
mkdir run       //create a run directory if you don't have one
cd run

When you run Athena with:

athena jobO_1.py jobO_2.py jobO_3.py

all you need is

pathena jobO_1.py jobO_2.py jobO_3.py [--inDS inputDataset] --outDS outputDataset

where inputDataset is a dataset which contains input files, and outputDataset is a dataset which will contain output files. For details about options, see pathena. More options can be found here:https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/DAonPanda#pathena
