For the impatient users and quick reference here is the typical sequence of the steps through which the typical analysis should proceed. Some of these steps should be done only once, some on every login, and others more frequently. Every step is marked with the frequency at which it should be executed.
1. Setup an account (Freq: once)
This step is described in details in Account Setup section of the workbook. You need to be able to login to analysis host and source the environment setup script at logon time.
2. Environment setup (Freq: every logon)
Either source the the environment setup script on every logon: . /reg/g/psdm/etc/ana_env.sh or add this command to the shell login script as explained in Account Setup section.
3. Create a test release (Freq: once)
Releases are explained in Packages and Releases section. Create new test release with the command like this:
newrel ana-current analisys-rel
This will create a new directory named analisys-rel and populate it with few files and directories. The directory is a test release. Usually separate analyses use separate test releases, and each test release should bear unique name if they are located in the same directory.
4. Change to the test release (Freq: every logon or whenever needed)
cd analisys-rel sit_setup
The last command is every important an must be executed every time you change the test release directory.
5. Create new analysis package (Freq: once)
Choose sufficiently unique name for your analysis package and create the package.
It's better to choose name which contains letters, digits, and underscores only because the package name will be used for Python package names.
newpkg my_ana_pkg
This will create directory my_ana_pkg and populate it with few files and sub-directories.
