1. Initialise CMSSW environment of your choice. NB: this CMSSW version will be re-used for processing the data.

2. Go to the directory of the proton-validation package (where submit file is).

3. Run ./submit --help to check the available options.

4. Run ./submit with desired options, minimally ./submit -o some_version_tag. This will generate jobs under data/some_version_tag.

5. Review the generated configs if you like. Use the HTCondor command printed on screen to submit the jobs.

6. Make sure that all jobs finished successfully - each directory should contain success file. This could be done e.g. by running ./wd_control -wd data/some_version_tag -s failed print - this will print the failed jobs. They can be resubmitted by running ./wd_control -wd data/some_version_tag -s failed resubmit. Run ./wd_control --help for more options.

7. Run ./do_fits_multiple <data/some_version_tag>.

8. If you have the Asymptote package, you can build the standar plots by:

• going to plots directory
• edditing the settings_*.asy files to use the some_version_tag version.
• and running ./make_links
• and running ./make_multiple 2016 2017 2018

1. Eventually, the standard "reports" can be produced by:

• going to the summaries directory
• and running ./make_multiple 2016 2017 2018
