SAM Quick Start Guide

Users are encouraged to read documentation available at the SAM web page and discuss problems with the SAM development team. The following is offered as a quick guide to getting started using the system. Questions or problems should be sent to sam-design@fnal.gov.

Step 0:
Setup: Some initial setup and getting registered in the system.
Step 1:
Browse: Look through the SAM database for files, projects, and other information.
Step 2:
Create a Project: Use command line interface to define a project. Example: 
sam define project --group=test --defname=demo --filename='%qcd%
Alternatively, Use a Java-based GUI to setup a project, which may be run either as an application from d0mino.fnal.gov or as a web applet.  Instructions for using any of the available alternatives to create a project are available at the Create a Project link above.
Step 3:
Run Project: Use the sam submit or get details about using SAM within the D0Framework demo example, and linking and running own executable.
Step 4:
Store Files: Store files and their descriptions into the SAM system using "sam store"

Note:  Special instructions apply to SAM jobs on clued0 cluster.  Check SAM on Clued0 for more details.
