Convert XML¶

To convert a LArBatch/project.py XML to POMS configuration file, the command is:

Project.py --convert_xml <UserAnalysis>.xml

where <UserAnalysis>.xml is the XML to convert.
This will produce two POMS configuration files with extension .cfg and .ini

An output example of the XML conversion is:

$ Project.py --convert_xml UserAnalysis.xml 
2019-06-14 13:18:52,041 -  INFO - template cfg file name is /cvmfs/fermilab.opensciencegrid.org/products/common/db/../prd/project_py/v1_1_0/NULL/template/generic/template_launch.cfg
2019-06-14 13:18:52,041 -  INFO - template ini file name is /cvmfs/fermilab.opensciencegrid.org/products/common/db/../prd/project_py/v1_1_0/NULL/template/generic/template_campaign.ini
2019-06-14 13:18:52,077 -  INFO - cfg file created in: /uboone/app/users/vito/poms_cfg/vito_UserAnalysis.cfg
2019-06-14 13:18:52,149 -  INFO - ini file created in: /uboone/app/users/vito/poms_cfg/vito_UserAnalysis.ini

POMS configuration files are wrote to: /<exp>/app/users/${USER}/poms_cfg/

configuration file names are in the format: ${USERS}_<UserAnalysis>.{cfg.ini}

By design the XML converter doesn't override POMS configuration files.
If POMS configuration files with the same name already exist, the XML converter will abort the conversion.

$ Project.py --convert_xml UserAnalysis.xml 
2019-06-14 13:46:44,411 -  INFO - template cfg file name is /cvmfs/fermilab.opensciencegrid.org/products/common/db/../prd/project_py/v1_1_0/NULL/template/generic/template_launch.cfg

2019-06-14 13:46:44,438 -  ERROR - The cfg file vito_UserAnalysis.cfg already exists in /uboone/app/users/vito/poms_cfg 
2019-06-14 13:46:44,438 -  ERROR - Please, use different cfg file name or remove the old one
2019-06-14 13:46:44,438 -  ERROR - XML -> cfg conversion ABORTED!!!

In this case existing POMS configuration files can be manually removed.
Alternatively the option -c allows to use a different filename for the POMS configuration file:

$ Project.py --convert_xml UserAnalysis.xml -c UserAnalysis_v2
