How to submit test jobs in panda from umt3 interactive nodes

1 get permission to access BNL CVS

BNL CVS is a mirror to Cern CVS, it is a readonly CVS, you can use it as long as you dont need to update files in the CVS.

$ kinit your_bnl_account@USATLAS.BNL.GOV
$ aklog -c usatlas.bnl.gov
$ export CVSROOT=/afs/usatlas.bnl.gov/software/cvs

make sure in the /etc/krb5.conf you have the corresponding entries for BNL cell.

 USATLAS.BNL.GOV = {
  kdc = akdc.usatlas.bnl.gov
  kdc = akdc01.usatlas.bnl.gov
  kdc = akdc02.usatlas.bnl.gov
  kdc = akdc00.usatlas.bnl.gov
  admin_server = akdc00.usatlas.bnl.gov
  default_domain = usatlas.bnl.gov
 }

this has been setup on all umt3 interactive nodes

2 check out the test packages

$ mkdir panda
$ cvs co -d panda/test offline/Production/panda/test
$ cvs co -d panda/taskbuffer offline/Production/panda/taskbuffer
$ cvs co -d panda/userinterface offline/Production/panda/userinterface
$ cd panda/test
$ export PYTHONPATH=..:$PYTHONPATH

3. Run the test job

$cd panda/test
$ python testXYZ.py AGLT2

where testEvgen.py for evgen, testG4Sim.py for simul, and testReco.py for reco.

this successful submission of the job would returns a pandaid ..

use the pandaid to query your job status at :
