hello,

in recexanatest_testconfiguration#recoshift_bs3_aodtotag:

poolcollectionconverter                           warning unable to create collection: pfn:aod.pool.root
poolcollectionconverter                           warning pfn &quot;aod.pool.root&quot; is not existing ( pool : &quot;persistencysvc::userdatabase::connectforread&quot; from &quot;persistencysvc&quot; )

it seems there is an unchecked statuscode, which originates in an inability to open an aod file (possibly, the above output is not quite clear to me).

command to reproduce:

starting athena job  -c &quot;evtmax=5 ; dodetailedauditor=true ;  dotruth=false  &quot; recexrecotest/recexrecotest_rtt_common.py recexcommon/aodtotag.py

cheers,
