Importing data files from FATMEN to Challenge tape robots

This process has several steps:

  1. Get a .gen file from FATMEN that lists the files you need


  2. libbeta prod_db
    d0setup prod_db


  3. gen_to_vms your.gen your.vms


  4. pdb_part_tape (answer q's and give your.vms as input file)


  5. ftp the OUT_your.vms file to the challenge


  6. setup_import . OUT_your.vms (the lone "dot" is important)


  7. run_jobs . >& your.log &


...and that should do it eventually. Good luck.
