If you need a particular database release, for running over data typically,
you can set the database release you want to use by adding to your cmthome/requirements file:

I still get a "Word too long" message sometimes after setting up an ATLAS release.
It seems to be from the PATH variable getting over a certain length that even bash can't handle.
You can fix it with this, which turns all the /afs/slac.stanford.edu to just /afs/slac, which works just as well:

Sometimes a digi job won't work (in 15.3.0?) because "chappy fails" on the input file.
The problem can be fixed by adding the right python directory to your path:

When running on the batch farm, you really should write things out into the /scratch area on the batch node during the job,
and then cp it all back at the end of the job, to prevent hammering on NFS. Here's an example script:
| Code Block |
|---|
#!/bin/bash . /u/at/ahaas/cmthome/setup.sh -tag=15.3.0 #setup the ATLAS release export d=`date +%s`; echo $d #make a variable name for the directory which is the number of seconds since 1975 export d=`date +%s`; echo $d #make a scratch area on the local machine mkdir /scratch/ahaas; mkdir /scratch/ahaas/${d}; mkdir /scratch/ahaas/${d}/temp; cd /scratch/ahaas/${d}; pwd; #run your stuff here athena.py -c "TIMESHIFT=0" -c "DECAY=False" /u/at/ahaas/reldirs/15.3.0/Generators/Pythia_i/share/jobOptions.pythiaRhad.py > temp/pyth.log.txt #all outputs of the athena job that are important should get put into the temp directory too... echo copying#copy back results in the temp directory to some nfs directory pwd; ls -lh temp export dd=`date +%s` ; echo $dd #this will add the end time of the job to the temp direcory output name if [ -a /nfs/slac/g/atlas/u01/users/ahaas/temp/rh_production_stripped_files/temp_${d}_${dd} ] then echo Destination directory already exists else mv -v /scratch/ahaas/${d}/temp /nfs/slac/g/atlas/u01/users/ahaas/temp/rh_production_stripped_files/temp_${d}_${dd} fi cd; pwd; rm -rfv /scratch/ahaas/${d}; echo done |
You could run this batch script above (put in a file called myjob.sh) with:
