Offline Monitoring Archived Data

Prepare the Launch

1) Update the environment, using the latest desired versions of JANA, the CCDB, etc. Also, the launch software will create new tags of the HDDS and sim-recon repositories, so update the version*.xml file referenced in the environment file to use the soon-to-be-created tags. This must be done BEFORE launch project creation. The environment file is at:

~/env_monitoring_launch

2) Setup the environment. This will override the HDDS and sim-recon in the version*.xml file and will instead use the monitoring launch working-area builds. Call:

source ~/env_monitoring_launch

3) Updating & building hdds:

cd $HDDS_HOME
git pull                # Get latest software
scons -c install        # Clean out the old install: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for cleaning out stale headers
scons install -j4       # Rebuild and re-install with 4 threads

4) Updating & building sim-recon:

cd $HALLD_HOME/src
git pull                # Get latest software
scons -c install        # Clean out the old install: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for cleaning out stale headers
scons install -j4       # Rebuild and re-install with 4 threads

5) Updating RCDB (Used for run# queries during job submission):

cd $RCDB_HOME/
git pull

6) Create a new sqlite file containing the very latest calibration constants. Original documentation on creating sqlite files are here.

cd $GLUEX_MYTOP/../sqlite/
$CCDB_HOME/scripts/mysql2sqlite/mysql2sqlite.sh -hhallddb.jlab.org -uccdb_user ccdb | sqlite3 ccdb.sqlite
mv ccdb.sqlite ccdb_monitoring_launch.sqlite

7) Tag the software, where "<type>" below is either "offmon" for offline monitoring launches, or "recon" for full reconstruction launches:

cd $HALLD_HOME/src/
git tag -a <type>-201Y_MM-verVV -m "Used for offline monitoring 201Y-MM verVV started on 201y/mm/dd"
git push origin <type>-201Y_MM-verVV

cd $HDDS_HOME/
git tag -a <type>-201Y_MM-verVV -m "Used for offline monitoring 201Y-MM verVV started on 201y/mm/dd"
git push origin <type>-201Y_MM-verVV

Do the Launch

1) Edit the appropriate job config file, depending on the type of launch (e.g. jobs_offmon.config for monitoring launches, jobs_recon.config for full reconstruction):

monitoring/launch/jobs_offmon.config
