P120 Reprocessing
status: Paused for evaluation Evaluation
last update: 31 August 201012 Jan 2011
This page is a record of the configuration for the P120 reprocessing project, event reclassification using Pass 7.3. This project involves reprocessing with Pass7 classification trees and (ultimately) new IRFs. The name "P120" derives from the word "processing" and the initial file version to be used for the output data products, e.g., r0123456789_v120_merit.root.

Status chronology
- 1/12/2011 - Expand P120 coverage to include Crab ToO
- Crab ToO 9/23/2010 15:50:50 to 9/27/2010 19:49:38, corresponding to MET r0306949696-r0307308940
- reconfig through end of Sep 2010: 10916 -> 11841 runs, increase of 925 runs
- No recon file for run 306353950 (being worked on, for the moment, place dummy file in runFile.txt)
- 8/29/2010 - Discovered three merge steps that silently failed (xroot file access). TASK complete.
- 8/28/2010 - processing formally complete (10916 runs), but some discrepancy in # of events
- 8/26/2010 - serious xroot problems. See initial distribution of files across xroot servers. From this report (courtesy Wilko) it is easy to see where problems are likely to arise - when the number of servers involved is small, e.g. two or three.
- 8/19/2010 - production continues at a crawl due to xroot server difficulties
- 8/16/2010 - resume full production, but at a slow trickle (max 350 simultaneous processClump jobs)
- 8/8/2010 - block 2 reprocessing complete. Many xroot server problems. (5 days to process 2084 runs)
- 8/3/2010 - begin block 2 reprocessing (through 255132033 MET), bringing the total runs reprocessed to 2721, about 5-1/2 months of data.
- 7/28/2010 - block 1 re-reprocessing complete
- 7/27/2010 - New GlastRelease (v17r35p10) containing new evtUtils, "to make the FT1EventClass bits compatible with the ScienceTools". Cleanup, including removing all files created last week during the first attempt.
- 7/21/2010 - block 1 reprocessing complete
- 7/20/2010 - agree upon 'pilot block' of runs (239557417 - 243220241), 637 runs. Begin...
- 7/19/2010 - submit first test run. success. await feedback
