NA62 Monte Carlo Production Howto |
| |
- MC software version - you must use the latest software version (check here if unsure), and make sure the wrapper script supports this version. Take a look at the scripts of previous jobs to make sure (click here, select the last production job, then click the corresponding green box link on the "Exe" column and check the line vers="v?"). There is a grid "version" for each installed software revision (e.g. v6/r188), see this wiki.
- Decay type - is the reaction channel to simulate. Choose from the drop-down menu and make sure it corresponds to the current production tag and description (check here if unsure). Leave default values for the remaining options, unless instructed otherwise.
- Destination - tick here only the sites that have the chosen MC software version installed. Check this table to make sure. Check the jobs history to detect any problems at sites (e.g. jobs consistently finishing early, or going to status CLEARED without registering any output).
 If jobs fail at a site, uncheck it here and notify the site admin!

- Executable - this is the name of the wrapper script that is executed on the worker node. It checks if the software is installed, runs the actual MC simulation, registers the output and triggers the FTS transfer(s). Make sure the chosen script supports the MC software version selected above. In single jobs mode, you can display commented lines from scripts in case you would like to check extra settings, comments etc. For production, leave this unchecked.

- User and password - for multiple job submissions, you need to tick the "Write scripts to disk" checkbox, and introduce your uid and password for this interface. You must have registered and your credentials must have been validated for this to work. In single job mode, uid and password are not needed, since you will have to submit the (test) job with your credentials from your UI.
- Click Prepare, and you are taken to a new page. If the page says "There are scheduled submissions in there. Please try again in 10 minutes" it means that you have (or someone else has) just scheduled another batch of jobs and you have to wait for these to be actually submitted, else the scripts may be overwritten - with unpredictable results.
