BoostedAnalyzer_runscripts_NAF

some runscripts for usage on the NAF and other useful scripts

Current Instructions:

Preparation

Prepare Samplelists

Todo

Prepare Scripts and run them on batch system

1. Adjust a config to your needs
   • Look at configs/user_config_legacy_2017.py
   • Adjust everything to your needs
   • Adjust the outpath: This directory needs to exist
2. Prepare actual scripts
   • cd into jobTools
   • make sure you hava a valid VOMS proxy:
     voms-proxy-init -rfc --voms cms:/cms/dcms --valid 72:0
   • run
     python generate_scripts.py ../configs/user_config_legacy_2017.py
   • have a look at workdir: There should be the output
3. Submit jobs batchwise to NAF
   • cd into your project folder in the workdir
   • submit Jobs for desired sample with
     ../../jobTools/NAFSubmit.py
     • run
       python ../../jobTools/NAFSubmit.py -f DESIREDSAMPLE -o jobs -M 4000 -r 800 -n DESIREDSSAMPLE
     • Hint: might be useful to use a for loop:
       for sample in *; do python ../../jobTools/NAFSubmit.py -f $sample -o jobs -M 4000 -r 800 -n $sample; done
4. Wait for jobs to be finished
5. Check if every Job ran successful

Check output and resubmit broken jobs

After a batch of jobs has finished you should check if alle jobs run successfully. To do so use the following instructions:

1. Find broken ROOT files:
   • run python jobTools/findCorruptFiles.py /path/to/ntuple/folder/of/sample/to/be/checked
   • This will create a file called broken_files.txt
2. Delete the broken files:
   • run python jobTools/deleteNtuples.py -f broken_files.txt
3. Check the output to find out which jobs failed:
   • run
     python jobTools/check_files.py -f BASEPATHtoNUTPLEFOLDER -s BASEPATHtoSCRIPTSFolder -n N_SYSTSPERJOB SAMPLE1 SAMPLE2
   • wildcards are for samples to check
   • use --nominal flag for data or nominal ntuples
   • make sure your samplename matches with the scriptfolder and and foldername in ntuple directory
   • This will create a file called scriptsToRerun.txt
   • Hint: It might be useful to check, why certain jobs failed, e.g. too mich memory consumption or too long runtime
4. Resubmit failed jobs:
   • use NAFSubmit.py to resubmit broken jobs via the --file file option
   • e.g.: cd into appropriate workdir to keep track of all your jobs and run
     python ../../../jobTools/NAFSubmit.py --file ../../../scriptsToRerun.txt -o rerun1 -n SAMPLE_rerun1 -M 4000 -r 800
5. Repeat until all jobs ran successfully
6. Profit
