According to the code, the services.FileCatalogMetadata.processID
parameter (settable via the --sam-process-id
option) is already added to the file catalog metadata as process_id
. Please let us know whether this item is present in the output of sam_metadata_dumper
for an output file that you know used SAM as input, as the absence of this item would indicate a bug which should be found and fixed.

It appears that the --sam-process-id flag can only be passed in the presence of --sam-web-uri. In our case, art_sam_wrap.sh does the fetching of the file, so we don't pass in --sam-web-uri. I think that the desired behavior is to require the process ID in the presence of a web URI, but not vice versa. Is that a sensible alternative? Here's the output I see when --sam-web-uri is not included.

When I do pass them together, I get a different exception, but it may be simply because of a poorly formed URI when trying to run on a local file.

Robert Illingworth pointed out that it would be helpful to store the SAM process ID in the file metadata. It would be nice if ART could pick this up and add it. NOvA could build this into it's own metadata module, but Robert thought it is an appropriate all-experiment feature. The art_sam_wrap.sh shell script stores the process id in a variable called $consumer_id, so the art code could try to key off that. Otherwise, it seems appropriate to pass it in as an environment variable, art_sam_wrap.sh could be modified to pass it in.
