Output file names

Each user action has a default name for the output file it produces (histogram, text or binary file), as it is explained in the corresponding section of this guide. As these classes are user actions, they can be used with filters and classifiers and in this cases, to the default file name it is added the name of the filters and classifier. This default file name can be changed with the parameter

/gamos/setParam FILE_NAME:FileName NEW_FILE_NAME

If you are running a job and you want to identify all your output files with a characteristic prefix or suffix (for example to differentiate them from the files from another job), you may do it by defining the parameters:

/gamos/setParam GmAnalysisMgr:FileNamePrefix PREFIX

the name PREFIX will be added at the beggining of all output file names.

/gamos/setParam GmAnalysisMgr:FileNameSuffix SUFFIX

the name SUFFIX will be added at the end of all output file names, before the file type (.root or .csv).

In the case of other output files (or input), like the text or binary files with several kinds of data that are explained in different sections of this guide, you can also add a prefix or suffix with the above commands to all of them, as all the input and output of these classes is controlled in GAMOS through a common base class.
