ILC VO

Firstly, you need to become a member of the ILC Virtual Organization (VO).

Follow the workflow at https://grid-voms.desy.de:8443/vo/ilc/vomrs which will require several rounds of confirmations and emails.

Somewhat confusingly, there is another ILC VO run by Fermilab located at https://voms.fnal.gov:8443/vomrs/ilc/vomrs.

Setup

The rest of the tutorial assumes that you are running from an lxplus node at CERN and using the bash shell.

Save the DESY script location for later, as we will need to get a file based on its environment.

VOMS Server

It is my understanding that before you do anything, you need to authenticate with a proxy server called a "VOMS server".

...

We will use the European Data Grid (EDG) tools as the UI for testing purposes..

If not running from DESY, the EDG commands need to be told about the location of the ILC Request Brokers (RB) for job submission.

In another shell on lxplus, execute the following commands.

source /afs/desy.de/group/grid/UI/GLITE-pro/etc/profile.d/grid_env.sh
cp $EDG_LOCATION/etc/ilc/edg_wl_ui.conf ~

The file ~edg_wl_ui.conf needs to be used in place of "--vo ilc" in the test commands at http://grid.desy.de/ilc/.

Now follow Follow the instructions for submitting a test job at http://grid.desy.de/ilc/ under "Submitting jobs to the Grid".
