Methods for Automating Error Handling in the Event Picking Service of the ATLAS Experiment
摘要
Abstract
The ATLAS EventIndex is the complete catalogue of all ATLAS real and simulated events, keeping the references to all permanent files that contain a given event in any processing stage. The Event Picking Service (EPS) automates the procedure of finding the locations of large numbers of events, extracting and collecting them into separate files. It supports different formats of events and has an elastic workflow for different input data. This article describes the different types of errors that occur while performing different workflows and threads. It also describes methods for automating the processing of such errors to ensure the stability and uninterrupted operation of the service.
