# Content
1 ./frogRun -r [Run] -d [Dataset] -D [Dataset]
2 Launch Frog visualisation tool on given dataset and run
3 v 1.02
4
5 If no -d or -D given use default run and dataset:
6 Dataset: /Cosmics/Commissioning08-PromptReco-v2/RECO
7 If no -r given, use the last run with given dataset
8
9 Script retrieve the list of root files of the dataset from
10 dbs server, and launch the CMSSW to produce .vis(gz) file.
11 The produced .vis file is analized by Frog visualisation tool.
12 Both CMSSW and Frog are launched in separete terminals.
13
14 The script use apython script get_files.py to retrieve file. The usage is:
15 get_files.py -r <Run> -d/-D <dataset> -f <output filename> -cff/-py/-txt
16 If no run given, will search for the last run with given dataset
17 If no dataset given, will search for default one :
18 /Cosmics/Commissioning08-PromptReco-v2/RECO
19 If dataset given with option -D, will search for all runs for given dataset
20 -cff/-py/-txt options presize in wich format the output file will be given
21 If no output filename given, wil use default one:
22 <dataset>_Run_<run>_cff.py
23
24 The production of .vis file can take some time, so don't worry if
25 Frog screen remain empty, and you give message that
26 file <name> can not be opened.
27
28 All produced files are saved in Run_<Run>/<Dataset> directory.
29 This files will be created:
30 <Dataset>_Run_<Run>_cff.py -- contain the list of root files for given Run and Dataset
31 <Dataset>_Run_<Run>_cfg.py -- configuration file for CMSSW
32 <Dataset>_Run_<Run>.vis(.gz) -- the vis file for Frog
33 CMS.geom(.gz) -- geometry file for Frog
34 frog_out.log, cmssw_out.log -- the standart and error output from CMSSW and Frog
35
36 The default configuration files for CMSSW and Frog are in cfg directory.
37 DO NOT modifie the lines
38 process.load("Visualisation.Frog.files_list_cfi")
39 process.frog.OutputFile = 'output.vis'
40
41 If the files .vis.gz already exist in Run_<Run>/<Dataset>, script will run frog on them and bypass cmssw.
42
43 The .vis files will be deleted before running cmssw, so be care to backut them if you need them, or alternativly activate option option frog.CompressFiles(True)
44
45
46 Sometimes script get stuck after line
47 cfg file to run: Frog_Analyzer_CosmicsFrowRaw_cfg.py
48 The reason is that dbs server is not responding, just try a few minuts later.
49
50 You must close Frog. This will be fixed soon)

55 Changings relativly 1.01
56 - added -D option wich force use all runs for given dataset
57 - complitely rewroted get_files.py, work with -D option, alsa added a possibility to choose the format of output list of files
58 - fixed bug wich includded the parents files in filelist
59 - added a log filter, wich suppress repeated messages from terminals and log files
60 - kill a cmsRun processus if there are no new record in log file for 1 hour
61
62 Changings relativly 1.00
63 - compile frog if needed
64 - work with frog_1_106
65 - if no run specified, retrieve the last run for given dataset
66 - screenschots are saved directly in working directory
67
68 Changing relativly 0.9
69 - use local frog cofiguration file
70 - fixed bug occured if the dbs server is down
71 - retrieve screenshots
72 - clean temporery files
73
74 Chaning relativly 0.85
75 - can work with process.frog.NEventsInVisFile = 10000 option
76 - added script to control vis files output, sometimes will put the messages in to terminal
77 - if .vis.gz already exist run frog on them
78 - delete .vis files before running cmssw
79
80 Changing relativly 0.8:
81 - fixed the bug provoked by a minor chaingings in dbs
82 - now the the directory Run_<run>/<dataset> is no more created if dataset isn't found in dbs
