atlas_xform

The ADA task interface atlas_xform specifies a transformation from the ATLAS production system.

Files

atlas_release - ATLAS release version, e.g. 10.0.1.
atlas_xform_name - ATLAS transformation name, e.g. rome.recon.trf
atlas_xform_tag - ATLAS transformation tag, e.g. 9.0.4.6
atlas_xform_signature - Paramters for the ATLAS transformation
output_content - describes the output to be saved--see atlas_job_options.

The file names in the output content should match those in the signature. If a name is omitted from the output content, that file will not be part of the output dataset.

If the file signature_replacements is found in the run directory, then it is expected that applications will use this environment when parsing the signature so that entries prefixed with a dollar sign are replaced with the corresponding value. E.g. if signature_replacements contains the lines

  RUN=1234
  RANSEED=276652072

then the signature "myapp $RUN $RANSEED" becomes "myapp 1234 276652072".

If the field $RANDOM appears in the signature, it will be replaced with a (small) pseudorandom number delivered by the shell. Maximum value is 32767.

For DIAL applications, it is expected this file will come from the input dataset.
