Fix vanilla lxplus submitter in case of files fatched through xrootd (!38) · Merge requests · HiggsDNA Project / HiggsDNA · GitLab

GitLab now enforces expiry dates on tokens that originally had no set expiration date. Those tokens were given an expiration date of one year later. Please review your personal access tokens, project access tokens and group access tokens to ensure you are aware of upcoming expirations. Administrators of GitLab can find more information on how to identify and mitigate interruption, please take a look at our documentation.

Massimiliano Galli requested to merge magalli/HiggsDNA:fix-vanilla2 into master Apr 23, 2023

Job submission with vanilla lxplus was failing for files fetched via xrootd with error like e.g.:

OSError: XRootD error: [FATAL] Redirect limit has been reached ...

This happens when the job can't access the proxy properly. In order to do this we apply two corrections:

in the condor file generator, we add getenv = True
in run_analysis we export X509_USER_PROXY
