This is the first step of Chimera called Input Preprocessor (IPP)
The Input preprocessor runs all the preconditions and constructs the configuration required to run an algorithm (PGE). It is designed to be customizable with the help of the following configuration files:
Job Context - The sciflo job’s context. Contains any inputs passed through to the context for the job.
Chimera Config File - Specifies which adaptation module to import and the adaptation class to instantiate and access the adaptation precondition functions
PGE Config File - To know what precondition functions to execute and the runconfig template to fill out.
Settings File - To know the CRID
