CMS Description

CMS Maintenance and Improvements (Driven by DanK)

• CMS uses some old data - how to update that
• CMS has some older version of the ROOT script, how to update it
• the OGRE UI needs to be updated

Ways to empower Dan Karmgard:

• access to the CVS
• testing environment for Dan (maybe a virtual machine with the CMS installed)
• discuss and document a clean interface between the UI, the ROOT part, and the GRID compoment

The Making of a Grid-Enabled CMS

Start with the Root scripts: extract the script from the original CGI-BIN, and document its inputs, its outputs, and its dependencies

• inputs: some parameters from the from that invokes the CGI get embedded into the Root script
• outputs: a plot file with a well-known name (depending on one input variable), and a raw data (text file)
• dependencies: the tb.data archives that contain pre-recorded physics experiments, used in the CMS elab

Create a swift workflow that produces the same results as the CGI-BIN:

• write the workflow
• install the remote components on the selected grid sites:
  • install Root
  • install the data dependencies (tb,data)
• execute the workflow from the command line, with the proper parameters

Integrate the workflow into the ELabs portal

• use the jsp pages and the java classes that Mihael developed to include transparently the stand-alone workflow into the portal
  • the cms-vdl2/src/jsp/ogre-new.jsp (from CVS) is the part that builds up the user interface
  • the FORM ACTION points to the code in cms-vdl2/src/jsp/ogreProcess.jsp (from CVS) Here a workflow object is created and initialized with the relevant workflow (the one illustrated below), then the user is forwarded to the workflowStart.jsp which triggers the workflow execution
• link the output from the workflow running Root to the output pages in the portal (embed the plot file)
  • once the workflow finished executing ROOT, the output files are brought back to the local directory, which I made sure to be web-visible, then the window that is supposed to display the results will simply embed the plots produced by root

The Grid Workflow

type file {}

(file t, file o) rootInvoke (file s) {
        app {
                rootInvoke @filename(s) stdout=@filename(o);
        }
}

file script<fixed_mapper; file=@arg("scriptFile")>;
file img <fixed_mapper; file=@arg("outputFile")>;
file out <fixed_mapper; file=@arg("rawOutData")>;

(img,out) = rootInvoke(script);
//img,out = root("-b -q -l -n /home/tiberius/local/OGRE/script-tibi.c");

The Grid Resources setup

They determine where the Root script will run These can be found on www12.i2u2.org, in /var/tmp/quarknet-m/tomcat/webapps/elab/cms/output, under ./etc and ./var
