2.  Online  Offline 5/2/20072

3.  Online  Raw data : within the DAQ monitoring framework  Reconstructed data : with the HLT monitoring framework  Structure of the framework  Collect and calculate parameters, fill histograms while taking data  Live display of histograms and out-of-range check 5/2/20073

4.  Online  Offline  Simulation: raw data, digits  Reconstruction: all intermediate steps until ESD 5/2/20074

5.  Online  Offline  Structure of the framework: job level (1) 1. During simulation, calculate parameters and fill histograms, kept on local disk of WN (root session 1) 2. Run the QA tasks after simulation is done and update log file (root session 2) 3. Parse the simulation log, if error: set the job status, update Tags and optionally stop 4. During reconstruction, calculate parameters and fill histograms, kept on local disk of WN (root session 3) 5. Run the QA tasks after reconstruction is done and update log file (root session 4) 6. Parse the reconstruction log, if error: set the job status, update Tags and optionally stop 7. Run the QA on ESD, produce histograms, make tests and update the log file (root session 5) 8. Parse the ESD QA log, if error: set the job status and update Tags 9. Check all QA and optionally stop the run 5/2/20075

6.  Online  Offline  Structure of the framework: job level (2) 1. Run simulation (root session 1) 2. Run the QA tasks, fill QA histograms from RAW and Digits, and update log file (root session 2) 3. Parse the simulation log, if error: set the job status, update Tags and optionally stop 4. Run reconstruction (root session 3) 5. Run the QA tasks, fill QA and update log file (root session 4) 6. Parse the reconstruction log, if error: set the job status, update Tags and optionally stop the job 7. Run the QA on ESD, produce histograms, make tests and update the log file (root session 5) 8. Parse the ESD QA log, if error: set the job status and update Tags 9. Check all QA and optionally stop the run 5/2/20076

7.  Online  Offline  Structure of the framework: ≥ event level, ≤run level 1. Run simulations and reconstructions and associated QA tasks until the required statistics is reached 2. Merge the QA histograms (simulation, reconstruction ESD) 3. Run QA tasks 4. Parse the log, if error: set the jobs status and update Tags 5. Check all QA and optionally stop the production 5/2/20077

8.  Online  Offline  Requirements 1. QA objects per detector produced either during sim/rec or after 2. QA tasks per detector (simulation, reconstruction) 3. QA tasks per detector, per PWG4 (ESD QA) 4. Same QA tasks for real and sim RAW 5. Keep QA histograms in the AliEn catalog 6. New input in Tags 7. The framework must be able to set/update job status 8. The framework must be able to decide what to do in case of errors 5/2/20078
