A local copy of xAOD input data is here:

xAOD EDM Notes

Original twiki page

Mostly this worked for me, but in the section PyROOT with the xAOD note that:

• You have to setup the analysis release to get this to work (setupATLAS; rcSetup 2.0.3,Base)
• The example does run but reports errors at the end

xAOD ROOT Analysis Notes

Original twiki page

Section 3

• The path to make_skeleton didn't work for me ($ROOTCOREBIN was pointing to my local setup area). Instead I needed to run it as:
  • $ /cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/sw/ASG/AnalysisBase/2.0.3/EventLoop/scripts/make_skeleton gsAnalysis MyxAODAnalysis

Section 5

• You can use the samples here:
  • SH::scanDir(sh, "/afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/user/g/graeme/public/xAODtut/");
• Note that if you get something wrong, then try to re-run the code will crash as the output directory exists (it doesn't like that):
  • EventLoop:/build3/atnight/localbuilds/nightlies/AnalysisBase-2.0.X/AnalysisBase/rel_nightly/EventLoop/Root/Driver.cxx:94:exception: could not create output directory /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/user/g/graeme/xAODtut/Run/submitDir
• Running both the ROOT macro and the standalone testRun.cxx gave unchecked status code warnings (1 for each file)

Section 6

• To get the jets package compiled and linked properly to testRun, I needed to do an rc clean as well as find_packages and compile.

Section 7

• Comiplation errors when comiling testRun.cxx (comlaints about a forward declaration in SampleHandler.h). Haven't had time to dig into these yet.
