CERN_OP.md

In order to extract data from the accelerator, first log in to your AFS account:

ssh -Y user@lxplus.cern.ch

From AFS, log into the remote machine where the data is stored:

ssh -Y cs-ccr-dev1

Do not forget to add the -Y command to enable X11 window forwarding, which is needed to open the Common Console Manager (CCM) to get the data. If you have never accessed this machine before, you will have to request access to cs-ccr-dev1 or cs-ccr-dev2 sending an e-mail to acc-adm@cern.ch. Once connected, execute the following command:

/mcr/bin/ccm LHCOP

and a window whould pop-up after a while through Java Web Start. From there you can also access Timber, and download the data to your public AFS folder. To copy that data to your local machine, use scp:

scp -r user@lxplus.cern.ch:/afs/cern.ch/user/path_to_file_to_copy path_to_local_directory
