G4e refitter configuration broken by dd4hep

[mmusich]

Since there are widespread plans of using the G4e refitting technology for both the muon momentum scale calibration for the W mass analysis and for the global tracker alignment procedure, it's important that we start testing it.
Unfortunately the current setup is broken, possibly from the dd4hep updates in the configuration.
Running the setup put together at PR #38738 results in:

----- Begin Fatal Exception 14-Jul-2022 14:06:57 CEST-----------------------

This was also reported quite some time ago at https://cms-talk.web.cern.ch/t/help-with-running-g4-refit-in-12-4-x/10294 but no replies so far.

made progress.
try to create geom in beginRun

now I get

more progress
with

process.GlobalTag = GlobalTag(process.GlobalTag, 'auto:run1_mc', '')

seems to work (in wf 20.0)

at least

cmsRun Geant4e_example_cfg.py

does not crash

This is an issue that's marked urgent and I think already resolved, can it be closed?

[mmusich]

It needs to be signed by the respective L2s

[tvami]

@bsunanda you can now sign for both signatures, no?

[civanch]

+1

[cmsbuild]

This issue is fully signed and ready to be closed.

[mmusich]

closing as resolved in #38864
