Dear Mohammad, Dear Florian,

thank you very much for your prompt help!

I got the macro running again using FairRun::CreateGeometryFile() and setting it up as Mohammad explained.

However, to make it finally work, I had to hack FairRunAna:
FairRunAna::SetGeomFile() does NOT instantly set the gGeoManager pointer, instead it sets the fInputGeoFile. This is then used in FairRunAna::Init() to load the actual TGeoManager into memory.

The problem with this approach is that Init() can only be called once,
if(fIsInitialized) {
    fLogger->Fatal(MESSAGE_ORIGIN,"Error Init is already called before!");
    exit(-1);
  } else {
    fIsInitialized=kTRUE;
  }
  ...
and this has to happen after all Tasks have been added to FairRunAna in order to call the tasks' Init() - but reco tasks may require the geometry to be present during construction already (e.g. the KalmanTask)! One would have to call FairRunAna::Init() twice ...

Maybe I am overlooking some already present method to do this properly, but for now to make it work I hacked the setting of the gGeoManager pointer into the SetGeomFile() method of FairRunAna. I don't see a conceptual problem of doing that there, so maybe this should be changed ... what is your opinion?


Cheers and have a nice weekend!

Felix
