1 querten 1.1 ./frogRun -r [Run] -d [Dataset]
2     Launch Frog visualisation tool on given dataset and run
3    
4     If no -r or -d given use default run and dataset:
5     Run: 69351
6     Dataset: /Cosmics/Commissioning08-v1/RAW
7    
8     Script retrieve the list of root files of the dataset from
9     dbs server, and launch the CMSSW to produce .vis(gz) file.
10     The produced .vis file is analized by Frog visualisation tool.
11     Both CMSSW and Frog are launched in separete terminals.
12    
13     The production of .vis file can take some time, so don't worry if
14     Frog screen remain empty, and you give message that
15     file <name> can not be opened.
16    
17     All produced files are saved in Run_<Run>/<Dataset> directory.
18     This files will be created:
19     <Dataset>_Run_<Run>_cff.py -- contain the list of root files for given Run and Dataset
20     <Dataset>_Run_<Run>_cfg.py -- configuration file for CMSSW
21     <Dataset>_Run_<Run>_cff.vis(.gz) -- the vis file for Frog
22     CMS.geom(.gz) -- geometry file for Frog
23     frog_out.log, cmssw_out.log -- the standart and error output from CMSSW and Frog
24    
25     The default configuration files for CMSSW and Frog are in cfg directory.
26     DO NOT modifie the lines
27     process.load("Visualisation.Frog.files_list_cfi")
28     process.frog.OutputFile = 'output.vis'
29     process.frog.NEventsInVisFile = -1
30     process.frog.AddRunInfoInName = cms.bool(False)
31     InputVisFile = {../this_file_doesnt_exist.vis};
32    
33     Sometimes script get stuck after line
34     cfg file to run: Frog_Analyzer_CosmicsFrowRaw_cfg.py
35     The reason is that dbs server is not responding, just try a few minuts later.
36    
37     If option frog.CompressFiles is set to true it provoke a next bug in Frog:
38     After CMSSW job is finished, the .vis file moved to .vis.gz and Frog
39     send an infinity of error messages:
40     The file <name>.vis can not be opened !
41     You must close Frog. This will be fixed soon)
42    
43    
44     Please send feedback at nikita.beliy@cern.ch
45    
46     PS. Things to be done:
47     - supporting AddRunInfoInName = cms.bool(False) and process.frog.NEventsInVisFile = 1000
48     frog options
49    
50     - killing frog after cmssw closes, and rerun frog on zipped output
51    
52     - clean up temporery files from /Visualisation/Frog/pyton
53    
54     - not remplacing config.txt file (once frog will accept a name o config file as parameter)
55    
56     - placing screenshots in correct place
