STAR QA Board

[videbaek <videbaek@bnl.gov>]

Hi Tommy,
I am on the QA list, and have a few comments to this.
I think your criteria is too harsh for declaring runs bad based on the 
runlog

I give 4 examples.
226023 -empty .. there is a perfectly entry if you lookup than run with 
3M events and marked successful
256015 - empty  likewise 8M events

The empty should raise a caution but should not be rejected is 
succesfull

252011 - anode trip. TPC anode trips raise a busy flag and no more 
events are taken, and run stops. Very likely good
all the way- unless anything else no reason to reject 4.6M events

252024 - TPC100% busy - this means no more data, and no reason to 
suspect date before this are bad because of this.
          5.7M events


I suggest you discuss with QA board whu those reason is valid

best Flemming
