Overview¶

Larsoft common batch and workflow tools are contained in ups product larbatch (this redmine), which is built and distributed as part of larsoft. Larbatch tools are built on top of Fermilab jobsub_client batch submission tools. For general information about jobsub_client and the Fermilab batch system, refer to articles on the jobsub wiki and the fife wiki.

No other part of larsoft is dependent on larbatch, and larbatch is not setup as a dependent of the larsoft umbrella ups product. Rather, larbatch is intended to be a dependent of experiment-specific ups products (see this article for instructions on configuring larbatch for a specific experiment.

After setting up ups product larbatch, several executable scripts and python modules are available on the execution path and python path. The main entry point for user interaction with workflow tools is an executable python script called [[source:scripts/project.py]].
