Specifying Alternate Versions of Calibration Constants in JANA
From GlueXWiki
From Dmitry Romanov:
To specify an alternate version of calibration constants from CCDB, use the JANA_CONTEXT environment variable. The value of JANA_CONTEXT is passed to CCDB as a text string. The string may contain
- variation=<variation_name>
- calibtime=
Examples:
JANA_CALIB_CONTEXT="variation=john"
JANA_CALIB_CONTEXT="calibtime=2014-05"
JANA_CALIB_CONTEXT="variation=john calibtime=2014-05"
JANA_CALIB_CONTEXT can also be set as a command-line option to JANA, for example
???
Alternate versions can also be specified directly in C++ as an argument to the GetCalib function. The argument is a string of the form </path/to/data>:<run>:<variation>:<time>. For example,
loop->GetCalib("FDC/params:::2014-05", containerObject);
rather than the usual
loop->GetCalib("FDC/params", containerObject);
