Hi, Yesterday, Ian launched some global tracking jobs after I had finished some BB calibrations. I started checking the histogram files and found that their size was big. A quick investigation showed me that some ntuples were in there. I then wanted to check the bratmain script used for the job. Today, I checked this script in greater details and I saw very odd things. Apparently, it was an old script used for pp and dAu with some "funny" settings, e.g. if the run number was > than 7000, then the tracking offsets were not taken into account for global tracking... The DC enhancement setup, which I thought was now a default and hidden in the strandard tracking modules, looked like in the old days when Pawel was debugging this option... And the weirdest thing was the fiducial cut options...hardcoded numbers everywhere, numbers from command line options divided by 10 (why ??) So my question is: is there an official AuAu global tracking script ? If not, I'm gonna set one up, similar to the one I used in 2001-2002. For that, I'd like to see the latest official script (dAu I guess) and look at the standard options for e.g. BFS tracking and tracking offsets. This makes me think of an old discussion that I had with Flemming: these tracking offset files were good but we had started (in 2002) to set up tables in our sql DB. I know that these offsets will certainly change as we improve calibrations and other things but on the other hand, it's not the first time we commit better calibration revisions on top of older ones. Do we want to finish setting up the DB for matching offsets ? Ascii files were always a pain in the ... Please react if you know of official global tracking scripts!
