DESCRIPTION

glite-transfer-channel-add is a command-line tool for creating a new data transfer channel definition.

OPTIONS

-h

Print a short help message on parameters and usage, and exit.

-q

Quiet operation.

-s SERVICE

Specifies the service endpoint to use. If SERVICE starts with http://, https:// or httpg://, then it is taken as a direct service endpoint URL. Otherwise SERVICE is taken as a service instance name and Service Discovery is invoked to look up the endpoint.

If this option is not specified, Service Discovery will be invoked and the first available transfer service will be used. If the Service Discovery fails, the program will exit with an error.

Note

If this option is not specified, only services with a known good status will be returned by Service Discovery. However if you explicitely specify a service name or an endpoint, the tool will try to use it regardless of its registered status.

-v

Increases the verbosity level.

-V

Print the version number and exit.

-b BANDWIDTH

Specify the bandwidth of the channel (Mbit/s).

-c CONTACT

Specify the contact e-mail address for the channel.

-f FILES

Specify the number of concurrent files allowed on the channel.

-S STATE

Specify the operational state of the channel.

-t THROUGHPUT

Specify the throughput goal to achieve.

-T STREAMS

Specify the number of concurrent streams allowed on the channel.

CHANNEL

The name of the channel to create.

SITE-A

The source site of the channel.

SITE-B

The destination site of the channel.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
