ILCDirac for Production Managers

Documentation about the TransformationSystem

Here is a guide about what the TransformationSystem does: http://dirac.readthedocs.io/en/latest/AdministratorGuide/Systems/Transformation/index.html

Configuration in the ConfigurationSystem

Some options for productions can be steered via the configuration system

Which log files to store

Operations->Defaults->LogFiles -> [Experiment] -> Extension

Set the patterns to match for logfiles to store, e.g.: ".log"

Which SE to use for failover

Operation->Defaults->Production-> [Experiment] -> FailOverSE

The the StorageElement to use as failover, do not set to the same SE as your main output SE. The FailoverSE is only temporally used to store files, when the main SE is not available.

Base path for production output

Operation->Defaults->Production-> [Experiment] -> BasePath

The LFN path where files for given experiment are stored. Please note: If this path is changed there might be changes needed in the code!

File Catalogs to register production data in

Operation->Defaults->Production-> [Experiment] -> Catalogs Two options, LFCFileCatalog or FileCatalog (The Dirac one in this case), or both.
