WARNING! When running multiple simultaneous jobs on SLAC Central Linux , be sure that each batch job is given a unique, local PFILE path in which to write its parameter files (one .par file is created by each ScienceTool). This is accomplished by setting a unique environment variable
within each batch job.
For example: - see full text. |

Disk Space:
- Individual User Work Space on SLAC Central Linux. Initial, user-based quotas have been set at 1 GB per user. To learn how to access it, see Individual User Work Space.
- Group Work Space.
Web Access to Group Work Space. All collaboration members have web access to the work space of the groups listed in the table below, enabling them to browse and download files. (See Fermi LAT Groups Disk Browser.)
Write Access to a Group Work Space. Members of a work group who require write access should contact the group's Disk Czar. (See Group Work Space.)

Mandatory Training - If you have a SLAC computing account, including Windows, Linux/Unix/Solaris or VMS account used to access SLAC information resources, you are required to take a computer security awareness course yearly. If this requirement is not met, your SLAC account(s) will be disabled. (See Cyber Security Awareness.)
New users have 30 days in which to complete this course; however, it is recommended that you take it as soon as possible |

New to the collaboration? If you have recently joined the collaboration and are wondering how best to get started:
-
-
Then, working from left to right on the 'Get Started' navbar, orient yourself, get connected, get your software setup, and familiarize yourself with SLAC Central Linx.
-
Next, go to the workbook's Science Tools section and read through 'Navigating the Science Tools Section of the Workbook' located on the "front" page.
-
You are now ready to begin working your way through the Science Tools tutorials, again from left to right.
Tip: Don't forget about the SciTools References, both the parameter and the help files (which also include Examples).
Welcome aboard!

ScienceTools Setup: P6_V11_Diffuse
SciTools Software Setup: P6V11

SCons Release Tools — see: LAT User Workbook Home --> Get Started --> SCons Release Tools
Internal Release (P7V6) now ready for testing: Quick Start with Pass 7
Tips:
- Access to FSSC's FermiData and Weekly All-Sky Data requires username and password (LATCollab/FermiData!)
- Be sure to use the optimized version (rh9_gcc32opt or VC8) of Science Tools when performing an analysis.
The optimized versions run ~5 times faster than the debug versions.
Security Issues:
 In order to access password protected sites, be sure you have followed the "Get Connected" instructions linked from the red navbar.
SCP/WinSCP. Be sure to use SCP or WinSCP (which are based on the SSH protocol) to transfer computer files between a local and a remote host, or between two remote hosts. Do NOT use Authenticated FTP, which sends a clear-text account name and password.
