Hi folks,

we have now a script which can produce file lists for use in your 
analysis macros for the input manager instead of fileopen(<file>), use 
in->AddListFile(<ascii file>):

CreateFileList.pl

It takes one of more of our filetypes as argument and only adds files 
which exist in all requested variants, so you don't have to go through 
our production areas and figure out which files match (the calo clusters 
are available quickly after the pileup, the tracks take at least 48 
hours longer).
Without parameters it prints out a brief usage info:

usage: CreateFileLists.pl -fm <fermi range> <filetypes>
parameters:
-fm : fermi range, 0-12 = 1, 0-4.88 = 2
-n : <number of events>
-s : <starting segment>

available types:
DST_BBC_G4HIT
DST_CALO_CLUSTER
DST_CALO_G4HIT
DST_TRACKS
DST_TRKR_G4HIT
DST_TRUTH_G4HIT
DST_VERTEX
G4Hits

And there is a short blurb in our wiki:
https://wiki.bnl.gov/sPHENIX/index.php/MDC1_2021#Samples
The list files are those names in lower case.list. It deletes existing 
lists as the first step, if you want to preserve them, you need to move 
them somewhere else (the alternative is to leave the files and end up 
with accidental mismatches when using lists from previous running of the 
macro). For the 0-4.88 fm we have only G4Hits files so far.

New files will show up as soon as they are available, so you will 
probably get changing lists (containing more and more events) on a daily 
basis. But you can always reuse old lists as long as we don't have to 
reprocess.

Chris
