LEGEND Data Production Environment

Data production environment to handle multiple production cycles. It provides a file system structure and a set of Python scripts. Within each production cycle, data can be automatically generated using Snakemake and legend-dataflow.

Workflow

Installation of Snakemake:

• source setup.sh to set some environmental variables
• run prodenv-tools

Creation of a new production cycle:

• source setup.sh to set some environmental variables
• run dataprod-init-cycle to initialize a new production cycle
• customize the config.json file in the production cycle directory
• check-out specific version of pygama, pyfcutils, legend-dataflow, legend-metadata
• run dataprod-install-sw to install the software in venv
• run snakemake to populate the multi-tier data structure

Workflow for existing production cycles:

• source setup.sh to set some environmental variables
• customize pygama, pyfcutils, legend-dataflow-hades, legend-metadata
• run dataprod-install-sw to reinstall the software
• remove all files in gen/ and genpar/ that need to be reprocessed
• run snakemake to update the multi-tier data structure

Source the setup file of the production environment

$ source setup.sh

Sourcing the setup.sh file located at the top level of the production environment. Sourcing the file will:

• set data production environmental variables (the name of all variables start with PRODENV)
• add ./bin/ and ./tools/bin/ to PATH, making scripts and tools available from command line

The content of the source file can also be copied to the users's shell configuration file.

Initialize a new production cycle

$ dataprod-init-cycle  -h
usage: dataprod-init-cycle [-h] [-c] rpath

Initialize a new production cycle

positional arguments:
  rpath       relative path of directory in which the production cycle will be created

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -c          clone pygama and pylegendmeta

The only mandatory option of the script is rpath, i.e. the path to the production cycle directory. The scripts generates a file-system structure under ./rpath/ and, by default, it clones:

• legend-dataflow under ./rpath/dataflow
• legend-metadata under ./rpath/inputs
• pygama under ./prod-usr/prod_tag/src/python/pygama
• pyfcutils under ./prod-usr/prod_tag/src/python/pyfcutils

By default, all packages are downloaded from the legend-exp organization and set to the main branch.

When the option -c is specified, pygama and pyfcutils are downloaded. The path to the custom software directory is stored in config.json. The custom directory will contain a pygama and pyfcutils folder.

The structure of the production cycle is:

.
├── config.json
├── dataflow
├── generated
│   ├── log
│   ├── par
│   ├── plt
│   ├── tier
│   └── tmp
├── inputs
└── software

• config.json contains paths to all main directories of the data production and
• dataflow contains the Snakemake configuration files. This repository can be edited to modify the data flow
• generated and subdirectories are automatically generated during the data production
• software contains the software used for data production. Users can edit these repositories.

Install the software

$ dataprod-install-sw -h
usage: dataprod-install-sw [-h] [-r] config_file

Install user software in data production environment

positional arguments:
  config_file  production cycle configuration file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  -r           remove software directory before installing software

This script loads the container and pip-installs pygama and pyfcutils. The option -r can be used to fully remove the installation directory before the software is re-installed.

Load Container

$ dataprod-load-sw -h
usage: dataprod-load-sw [-h] config_file

Load data production environment

positional arguments:
  config_file  production cycle configuration file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit

It loads the container and all the software installed. Type exit to quit.

Run Data Production

Data can be automatically produced through commands such as:

$ snakemake \
    --snakefile path-to-dataflow-dir/Snakefile \
    -j 20 \
    --configfile=path-to-cycle/config.json \
    all-B00000B-co_HS5_top_dlt-tier2.gen

Documentation on how to run snakemake is available at legend-dataflow.
