To Run bfc.kumac

1. I assume you have setup your login area and are in pro
2. I am using rsun00.rhic.bnl.gov
3. create a directory you want to work in and go there:
   /scr22/kathy/test
4. To run call_bfc_readfz_to_dst_year2.kumac ==>
   
   • copy from $STAR/kumacs/chain and edit inputs
   • OR can run default version (don't copy to your area)
5. from /scr22/kathy/test, run STAF:
   
   • > staf
   • > exec $STAR/kumacs/chain/call_bfc_readfz_to_dst_year2 - for default version
   • > exec call_bfc_readfz_to_dst_year2 - for version in your area
   and away she goes!
6. OR can run one of the dst chains:
     > exec $STAR/kumacs/dst/call_bfc_read_dst_check.kumac

NOTE!
If there are problems running, you *may* have to delete the detm.rz file in your workdir!

What to do after running kumac

The standard chain kumacs either write out the staf tables to a file (full event directory or dst directory only) and can write a table to an ntuple. You can only make plots from ntuples!

You can write files while still in STAF after running if you forgot to put it in automatically

• To write a directory to a file
  

                  $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_file#init  (inputs)
                  $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_file#write (inputs)
                  $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_file#close (inputs)
                 

• To write a table to an ntuple on disk
  

                  $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_ntuple#init_disk (inputs)
                  $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_ntuple#write_event_disk (inputs)
                  $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_ntuple#close_disk (inputs)
                 

• To write a table to an ntuple in memory
  

                  $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_ntuple#init_memory (inputs)
                  $STAR/kumacs/util/write_table_to_ntuple#write_event_memory (inputs)
