AppConfig and job specifications
Last update : 23 November 2009
AppConfig is the package where configurations for production are kept for the different LHCb applications.
The options directory is structured with subdirectories where the options specific to a given application are kept (Gauss, Boole, Brunel,
DaVinci). A subdirectory called Conditions contains files where the tags for DDDB and
CondDB are given. Some global options are found in the top level directory
What is available in the various 'subdirectories' is described below.
Top level

| DisableLFC.py |
Disable the usage of LFC to get the credentials to access Oracle servers |
| UseOracle.py |
Force usage of Oracle database for Conditions |
| UseSQLDDB.py |
Force usage of SQLDDDB for Conditions |
Conditions
Predefined options to select combinations of DDDB and
CondDB tags for a given well defined geometry are available in
AppConfig and listed below. Combined with the Gauss, Boole or Brunel options they allow to configure those application for various beam, geometry and with truth/without truth in the case of simulated data.

AppConfig v3rX is used by Gauss v37r3 and higher to set the Simulation Conditions specifying the 'SIMCOND' settings and the beam settings.
The list of the avalaible steering options for is provided below. See presentation at
Tuesday Meeting 24 April 2009 for details on configuration.
Although they start with MC09 they are not specific to the MC09 production nor the detector described there. For the MC09 detector they need to be used with Conditions/MC09-....py for the Upgrade detector with Conditions/Upgrade-....py and possibly options added below.
Additional options can be put in upon request for productions.

1. The Default DataType is set by the application. It is "2008" until Boole v19r4, "2009" from Boole v19r5. Currently only "DC06" DataType has a special meaning in Boole, used to select the DC06 L0 trigger setting. DataType also selects the default DDDB and SimCond tags if they are not explicitly set, e.g. by providing one of the options files in
AppConfig/options/Conditions directory.
