Goal of the page

Listing the available alignment constants and alignment position errors (APE) with some comments about validity. Usual jobs should access constants via global tags. At this link it is also described t find out which tags belong to a global tag.

Database Connection Strings

In the following <abX> is release series specific and stands for e.g. 20X:

Reading

• Using Frontier (recommended): frontier://FrontierProd/CMS_COND_<abX>_ALIGNMENT
• Directly accessing database (for very rare test): oracle://cms_orcoff_prod/CMS_COND_<abX>_ALIGNMENT

Writing

• Development/preparation DB (copied to production DB once release is closed, medium expert task): oracle://cms_orcoff_prep/CMS_COND_ALIGNMENT
• Online DB (expert task within .CMS cluster!) (Check: '<abX>_' needed?):
  • Real DB (streamed to offline production DB): oracle://cms_orcon_prod/CMS_COND_<abX>_ALIGNMENT
  • For testing (not streamed): oracle://orcon/CMS_COND_<abX>_ALIGNMENT

CMSSW_2_0_X

Available Tags for GlobalPositions:

Tag	Validity	Description	Comments
IdealGeometry	current	zero global shift and rotation for all detectors

Available Tags for Tracker:

Note: For those constants produced with the TEC bug, a new upload using CMSSW_2_0_6 will cure.
