Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. • Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. • (S. Beckett) CPass0/CPass1 on LHC12f/e/d/cUpdated at 10:00 on 28/08 C. Zampolli
To be followed up • LHC12f being processed smoothly • LHC12e done, waiting for LHC12d • LHC12d being processed with Rev-22, failures in T0, and TRD • LHC12c manual update ongoing • pA MC test on LHC11f2 ongoing (merging will be submitted today) • pA data run 187338, done at CPass0, but no info on MonALISA, not appearing at CPass1 snapshot • pA pilot run CTP will have a Alias file with everything defined as kCalibBarrel (to my understanding) C. Zampolli
To be followed up – II • kCalibBarrel triggers number published in logbook (waiting for news, promised by the end of August) • Validation codes from the detectors still missing TPC and MeanVertex, will help for short runs failing in TRD due to statistics • Replicating the OCDB entries: new functionality implemented by Raffaele how should it be implemented in the calib code? • Member of the AliCDBManager? • Otherwise everybody will have to change their code… • Reprocessing of old runs trigger classes defined, Aliases file to be created, then downscaling • Better selection of runs? Difficult in my opinion C. Zampolli
Some diagnostics • During the last 2 months of CPass0/CPass1 processing, (quite) some manual intervention was needed • Fixing steering macros/scripts • Restarting CPass0 and/or CPass1 • Triggering CPass0 and/or CPass1 manually • Main reasons (to my memory… I might forget something) • Wrong AddTaskTPCcalib.C committed to the release by mistake during synchronization • Merging of syswatch trees not properly tested and consuming too much memory • TPC wrong OCDB update in makeOCDB.C macro for CPass1 • Wrong TPC gain threshold used for validation C. Zampolli
Some diagnostics – II • Reprocessing of LHC12d due to a bug in the TRD reconstruction • Re-reprocessing of LHC12d due to a problem with TRD code in Rev-23 • Some LHC12e runs to be reprocessed after a fix in the aliases files due to “miscommunication” (mis = missing + wrong) between TRD, RC, Trigger, calibration • CPass1 manual triggering for runs failed in T0 at CPass0 (1 done, 20 to be done) • CPass1 manual triggering for a run for which CPass0 was merged manually (Raphaelle) • CNAF disk full • ALICE::CERN::T0 issue C. Zampolli
Two more comments… • As already said in July, no modification in AliRoot that may affect the calibration should be requested to be ported to the Release if not properly tested in the calibration train on the grid • I cannot know whether changes may affect the calibration, the detector experts should • Since apparently it is not enough to show updates on Monday Offline, Tuesday RC, Thursday Offline Calibration Readiness and Friday Calibration usual meetings, I think it would be important that: • One person representing all the detectors taking part in CPass0/CPass1 should always be present at the calibration meetings • If the direct responsible(s) is not available, someone representing the corresponding detector should anyway participate, to propagate the information discussed there. C. Zampolli
How to decide when to process a run • Currently, we process runs marked as good (DAQ flag), duration > 5min, GRP ok, with Beam • Could this be improved? Hardly to say… Not on the offline side at least… C. Zampolli

Zampolli
Summary table – on 28/08 at ~ 10:00CPass0 – LHC12e - REPROCESSING Failed (statistics) Ok CPass1 re-run! Failing again in CPass1 as expected, but T0 experts already fixed the OCDB C. Zampolli

Summary table – on 28/08 at ~ 10:00CPass1 – LHC12e • Of the 14 successful runs, 15 at CPass1 ( one more since 186601 was inserted manually!): • 15 at the snapshot 15 at CPass1 reco+CalibTrain • 15 at CPass1 merging+OCDB C. Zampolli
Actions • COMPLETED • Since the period was too short, the manual update should be done together with LHC12d waiting for this period to be completed C. Zampolli
LHC12d C. Zampolli
Summary table – on 28/08 at ~ 10:00LHC12d • 224 in logbook • Filters used: LHC12d, PHYSICS, Good Run, GRP ok at least one of [SDD, TPC, TRD, TOF, T0] • CPass0 completed: • Snapshot: 220 • Reco+CalibTrain: 220 • Merging+OCDB: 220, 176 needed, 147 ok • CPass1 completed: • Snapshot: 148 (1 more than CPass0, triggered manually after CPass0) • Reco+CalibTrain: 148 • Merging+OCDB: 148, 148 needed C. Zampolli
Difference between logbook and snapshot in MonALISA • In logbook, but not in MonALISA: • 184370 (EMCAL), 184645 (EMCAL), 185345 (ACORDE trigger), 185347 (ACORDE trigger), 185467 still in the migration process, checking with offline • In MonALISA but not in the logbook: • 185190 (short run, the quality flag was changed) C. Zampolli

Zampolli
Summary table – on 28/08 at ~ 10:00CPass0 – LHC12d Also TRD 16 recovered rerunning with looser constraints for validation (run 185460 not retried, since it failed anyway in TRD) C. Zampolli

Summary table – on 28/08 at ~ 10:00CPass1 – LHC12d • Of the 147 successful runs: • 148 at CPass1 reco+CalibTrain • 1 more than CPass0 since CPass0 was merged manually and the objects were uploaded manually in the OCDB (184673) • 148 at CPass1 merging+OCDB… • …of which 147 successful (ignore the red TPC color)… • ...1 failed in TRD (184145)… • Different statistics for CPass0 and CPass1 • 480/480 chunks at CPass0 • 472/480 chunks at CPass1 C. Zampolli
TRD issue • Due to a problem in the TRD reconstruction, some wrong OCDB entries were produced at CPass0; it is not possible to get the correct ones without re-running CPass0 • Some manual OCDB update is needed (after LHC12d is fully processed, ongoing for completed runs) DONE • Then CPass0/CPass1 should be re-run with a Rev > Rev-18 • Rev-23 (the latest) was used • Changed in TRD code made the calibration not work properly • More tests, new re-running with Rev-22 • Will the failed runs be recovered? Waiting for experts’ reply still not known C. Zampolli
Actions • CPass0completed • 20 runs failed at CPass0 due to T0 hardware problems • CPass1 should be triggered manually for these runs • To be done after reprocessing, since now it would be useless (they all contain TRD) • Re-running with Rev-22… ongoing C. Zampolli
Summary table – on 28/08 at ~ 10:00CPass0 – LHC12d – Failures after reprocessing 12 min, 11490 events/ 208981 tracks, had not failed before C. Zampolli

Summary table – on 28/08 at ~ 10:00CPass0 – LHC12c C. Zampolli
Summary table – on 28/08 at ~ 10:00CPass0 – LHC12c (*) Low statistics, recoverable (*) Low statistics, not recoverable (**) No SSD/SDD number of contributors to Vertex Track = 0, TRD calibration failing, TRD fix in place; what about TPC? C. Zampolli
Summary table – on 28/08 at ~ 10:00CPass1 – LHC12c • Of the 93 successful runs: • 93 at CPass1 reco+CalibTrain • 93 at CPass1 merging+OCDB… • …of which 84 successful in CPass1 (ignore the red TPC color)… • …and 9 failed in T0, but are MUON runs – they should have not gone through (different AliRoot, some changes in T0) • As soon as CPass1 is completed, 1 week of time will be given for manual update. If too little (QM, holidays), we’ll increase it. Then, Vpass should start C. Zampolli
Actions • CPass0 completed; • 9 runs failed in TPC and TRD • Not recoverable, no CPass1 • 7 runs failed in TRD due to low statistics • TRD can recover them manually, but no CPass1 would be run after those • how will the other detectors mark these runs? • TOF, T0 bad • Mean Vertex good • TRP? TRD? • CPass1 completed on the available runs • In summary, ready for the manual update window 1 week for the manual update announced: deadline on Friday 31 Aug (so far, eventually extended to Monday) C. Zampolli
Further comments C. Zampolli
Interdependencies • Under discussion: does EMCAL runs need calibration triggers? (PHOS does not) • Seems not! C. Zampolli
Further issues • Some reconstruction jobs fail with bad_alloc under investigation • Grid tests with gdb ongoing not many information retrievable, the jobs ran successfully • Valgrind test ongoing did not show anything significant • Trying with Rev-21 on LHC12c, LHC12e • Many errors, but FPE, not bad_alloc • stack trace available • I could not reproduce the problem, still investigating C. Zampolli
PPass • LHC12a and LHC12b Vpass validated ready for Ppass • A patched Rev-16 was created to fix the TRD QA issue to be used to run Ppass • LHC12a completed, QA feedback last week • LHC12b completed, QA feedback last week C. Zampolli
Calibration of old data • GRP/CTP/Aliases entries to be created, after defining the classes to be used for the reconstruction • Might be needed to apply some downscale • min(max(nevents/10,30000),nevents)/nevents, but we need to define nevents C. Zampolli
pA • Since MB will be the main trigger, we propose to use that and downscale. • For the pA pilot run, all data are asked to be reconstructed, keeping ESDs, friends, and ITS RecPoints • Tests on the LHC11f2 ongoing feedback will be asked C. Zampolli
