Data Analysis

Creating an ntuple

Real Data

to create an ntuple with real data you need

  • the DST files you wish to run on
  • a python file pointing to the data
  • the davinci python file

My python file pointing to my data looks like:

from Gaudi.Configuration import *

EventSelector().Input   = [
#  for i in /home/hep/uoh35620/stuff/data/data_2010_up/* ; do echo "\"   DATAFILE='pfn:${i}' TYP='POOL_ROOTTREE' OPT='READ'\"," ; done
"   DATAFILE='pfn:/home/hep/uoh35620/stuff/data/data_2010_up/00007054_00000001_1.bhadron.dst' TYP='POOL_ROOTTREE' OPT='READ'",
"   DATAFILE='pfn:/home/hep/uoh35620/stuff/data/data_2010_up/00007054_00000002_1.bhadron.dst' TYP='POOL_ROOTTREE' OPT='READ'",
# ...
]

Be careful when creating this file as symlinks have caused me issues and prevented DaVinci from reading the data. Since the files existed it caused no errors and it seemed to just skip the file it was looking at resulting in 0 events processed.

Then all this can be run with the following command.

SetupProject DaVinci
gaudirun.py DaVinci.py data.py | tee output.txt

the output will be copied to the output.txt file.

Running on ppd batch

you can run these taks on the ppd batch system, since doing a large number of events can take many hours. below is a script I use to run these taks.

#!/bin/bash

stda="`date`"
echo $stda

. /afs/rl.ac.uk/lhcb/lhcb/LBSCRIPTS/LBSCRIPTS_v5r2/InstallArea/scripts/SetupProject.sh DaVinci

dir=/home/hep/uoh35620/stuff/batch-generate/data/up/all

gaudirun.py ${dir}/DaVinciAndCandidatesUp.py ${dir}/6_7_2010_up.py  | tee ${dir}/output.txt | tee /home/hep/uoh35620/stuff/batch-generate/test.txt

echo
echo $stda
date
echo
echo Done.

The dot at the beginning of the line ending in SetupProject.sh DaVinci is very important. If this is not there the paths will not be set up properly for your script.

Placing this in a file called say script and running the following will make it run on the batch system.

qsub -q prod -S /bin/bash -j oe -o /home/hep/uoh35620/job-out/ script

-q chooses the queue you wish to submit the job to while -j oe joins the stderr and stdout together into one file. -o puts the output file into a given directory and script is the above script to run the job.

Added:
>
>
Monitoring
  The following command will list your currently running jobs. you will need to replace uoh35620 with your user name.

qstat -u uoh35620

For looking at jobs in real time I like to use the following, where the file is the output of one of the tee's in the script and uoh35620 will need to be changed to your user name.

watch -n 10 'tail -n 20 /home/hep/uoh35620/stuff/batch-generate/test.txt ; echo ; echo ; qstat -u uoh35620'
Added:
>
>
you might want to make alias of these commands in your ~/.bashrc file so the following in ~/.bashrc will make a new command called qstatme which will be like typing the full command.

alias qstatme="qstat -u uoh35620"

Errors

I have gotten this email a few times and I'm not really sure of the cause, maybe an error on the bathch macine, but anyway, if you get this just keep re-submitting exactly the same job until it works. The most I've ever had to do it is about 5 times.

PBS Job Id: 4121274.heplnx208.pp.rl.ac.uk
Job Name:   script

Creating the ntuple with monte carlo data is harder than with the actual data since you must first strip it before creating the ntuple.
