[kepler-users] [kepler-dev] SRB account needed ?

[Jianwu Wang]

Hi Matt,

    DICE group (http://diceresearch.org/DICE_Site/Home/Home.html) has 
iRODS service now. Yet the previous SRB service is still there. My tests 
two months ago for SRB actors still work. For iRODS service, they 
implemented a new actor called DataGridTransfer. I checked it in Kepler 
1.x. It's url at kepler trunk is 
https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/actors/src/org/srb/DataGridTransfer.java. 


    The DataGridFileTransfer actor has functionality similar to the 
SRB/IRODS commands, namely Sget, Sput, iget, and iput. 
DataGridFileTransfer  allows users to copy one or more objects from one 
local/remote file system to another local/remote file system. The 
following actor expects as input a reference to local or remote file 
systems support by the Jargon API . This reference connection is created 
from the source and destination URL values, Currently available file 
system URLs are, file:///myDir/myfile.txt, 
irods://username:password@myhost.org:1247/myDir/myfile.txt, 
srb://username.domain:password@myhost.org:5544/myDir/myfile.txt, or ftp 
and http urls.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours
