VALIDATION step requires a replay of pileup.
@slava77 Thx.
I don't see it in pre-mixing with validation workflow. Is validation step difference for Classic and PreMixing in this case?
Not sure also I understand "a replay of PU". Could you please guide more? Thx.

some of the validation modules (e.g. tracking) need to know provenance of all hits. This is possible if the mixing module is rerun by "replaying" the pileup mixing that was done in the original DIGI step.
@srimanob using workflow 11025.0 as an example, if you run step3 (RECO - DQM) with the Tracer activated you will see:
++++++++++++ starting: event delayed read from source: stream = 2 label = 'mix' id = 1833
++++++++++++ finished: event delayed read from source: stream = 2 label = 'mix' id = 1833
++++++++++++ starting: event delayed read from source: stream = 2 label = 'mix' id = 1833
++++++++++++ finished: event delayed read from source: stream = 2 label = 'mix' id = 1833
++++++++++++ starting: event delayed read from source: stream = 2 label = 'mix' id = 1833
++++++++++++ finished: event delayed read from source: stream = 2 label = 'mix' id = 1833
++++++++++++ starting: event delayed read from source: stream = 2 label = 'mix' id = 1833
++++++++++++ finished: event delayed read from source: stream = 2 label = 'mix' id = 1833
You have for instance the validation module
++++++++ finished: prefetching before processing event for module: stream = 0 label = 'mixCollectionValidation' id = 1834
++++++++ starting: processing event for module: stream = 0 label = 'mixCollectionValidation' id = 1834
corresponding to https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/blob/master/Validation/Mixing/src/MixCollectionValidation.cc that is accessing the CrossingFrame
some of the validation modules (e.g. tracking) need to know provenance of all hits.
Tracking validation (MTV etc) does not need the replay of pileup.
I think we have a clear statement on the need on MinBias in validation step. I will close the issue then.
I just see that we have several classic mixing workflows for all 3 years of Run2 which call PU library in RECO step, i.e.
It is not clear to me why do we need to call it in RECO? There are several places in relvals_step that put PU in RECO step, i.e. https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/blob/CMSSW_10_6_X/Configuration/PyReleaseValidation/python/relval_steps.py#L2073-L2077 https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/blob/CMSSW_10_6_X/Configuration/PyReleaseValidation/python/relval_steps.py#L2218 https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/blob/CMSSW_10_6_X/Configuration/PyReleaseValidation/python/relval_steps.py#L2226
