TkMapsCronjob

Cronjob script to launch production of TkMaps on vocms

Steps of the script:

• Search for runs in Run Registry
• For those runs, search for their datasets in DQM GUI
• Rerieve the number of LS (from OMS) and Tracks (from DQM GUI)
• If the run is not in the cache:
  • Saves its properties (Run, LS, Tracks, Time) in the cache
  • Add the run in the run list: runs_to_*
  • Launch TkMaps production for Express (from the list)
  • Launch TkMaps production for Prompt (from the list)

Setup on vocms

1. Go to top folder

cd /data/users/event_display/dpgtkdqm/cronjobs/ 

2. Create main folder

mkdir TkMapsCronjob 
cd TkMapsCronjob 

3. Setup CMS environment

source /cvmfs/cms.cern.ch/cmsset_default.sh 

4. Download and compile CMSSW

scram project CMSSW_14_0_14 
cd CMSSW_14_0_14/src/ 
cmsenv 
scram b -j 10 

5. Go to main folder

cd /data/users/event_display/dpgtkdqm/cronjobs/TkMapsCronjob 

6. Get the code from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/CMSTrackerDPG/TkMapsCronjob 
cd TkMapsCronjob 

7. Modify the secret codes (not stored on git online) for new SSO authenticatiom

emacs cronTkMaps.sh
