These are instructions for adding HEPG files to the DFC database... 0) We are assuming you are starting with a large number of HEPG files on some machine, and that you have access to the cdfmc account. If you need to create the HEPG files, take a look at http://hep.uchicago.edu/cdf/comphepfarms.txt. We further assume you are running MC you got from /pnfs/patriot. 1) Copy all the HEPG and STDHEP files to the appropriate /pnfs/patriot directory. This means they need to be on fcdfsgi2, and a good place for that would be: /cdf/data02/s5/mc/cdfmc/your-process/ Once you do this, you can delete the STDHEP files (as they are usually huge). 2) The HEPG files need to be added to the database. There is a simple script and .tcl file which will do this easily. So copy ~cdfmc/dbinput.csh and ~cdfmc/files.tcl to the directory containing the HEPG files. You need to edit files.tcl to make sure the path is set correctly. I would output the files to their own directory. This is b/c of the next step. Once files.tcl has been edited, run dbinput.csh. This will add the files to the database (http://cdfdbb.fnal.gov:8520/cdfr2/databases). You might do a look up by file name on a file or two this script creates, just to make sure they are in the database: Select Data Catalog & submit Select DC: Files & submit Enter a mc*gene filename in the 2nd box & submit (note that there should be no extraneous spaces after or before the name...) They will be "orphan" files, but the next step will take care of that... 3) Next copy the script ~cdfmc/writeTape to the directory containing the *gene files and run it. This script writes the *gene files to tape and adds them to the appropriate book and filesets in the database. 4) That's it. Your files are now in the database. To run Simulation on the Farms, email Frank (fkw@fnal.gov) and tell him the run number to process... If you have any questions email me (collin -- cwolfe@hep.uchicago.edu).
