NAME

lcg_cr - copy and register a file

 

SYNOPSIS

import lcg_util

(int returncode, string actual_guid, string errmsg ) lcg_cr3 (string src_file, string dest_file, string guid, string lfn, string defaulttype, string setype, int nobdii, string vo, string relative_path, int nbstreams, string conf_file, int insecure, int verbose, int timeout, string spacetokendesc)

 

DESCRIPTION

lcg_cr copies a file to a Storage Element and registers the file in the Replica Catalog or the LFC.
src_file
specifies the source file name: the protocol can be file: or gsiftp:.
dest_file
specifies the destination. It can be the Storage Element fully qualified hostname or an SURL. In the latter case, the scheme can be sfn: for a classical SE or srm:. If only the fully qualified hostname is given, a filename is generated in the same format as with the Replica Manager.
guid
specifies the Grid Unique IDentifier. If NULL, a GUID is generated internally.
lfn
specifies the Logical File Name associated with the file. If not NULL, an entry is added to the Replica Metadata Catalog or the LFC.
relative_path
specifies the path relative to the SARoot for the given VO.
nbstreams
specifies the number of parallel streams (default 1).
timeout
specifies the value of timeout (default 0).
defaulttype
specifies the default SE type you want to use. But if according to the BDII the default type is not available for this SE, it will use another type. Possible values are:
lcg_util.TYPE_NONE or 'none'
No default type
lcg_util.TYPE_SE or 'se'
Use classic SE endpoints
lcg_util.TYPE_SRM or 'srmv1'
Use SRMv1 endpoints first
lcg_util.TYPE_SRMv2 or 'srmv2'
Use SRMv2 endpoints first
setype
specifies the SE type you want to use for the destination file. But if according to the BDII the default type is not available for this SE, it will fail. Possible values are:
lcg_util.TYPE_NONE or 'none'
No default type
lcg_util.TYPE_SE or 'se'
Use classic SE endpoints
lcg_util.TYPE_SRM or 'srmv1'
Use SRMv1 endpoints first
lcg_util.TYPE_SRMv2 or 'srmv2'
Use SRMv2 endpoints first
nobdii
If set to a non-zero value, it means that you don't want to make BDII calls to get SE type. So, you must provide the type of the SE for srm: arguments, and full endpoint in SURLs. For SE type, defaulttype can be used.
vo
specifies the Virtual Organization the user belongs to. If it is not specified, the environment variable LCG_GFAL_VO will be used.
conf_file
This argument is currently ignored.
insecure
This argument is currently ignored. The access to the Replica Catalog or the LFC is done according to the endpoints published in MDS while the copy is always done in secure mode.
actual_guid
specifies a buffer (minimum 37 bytes) to receive the actual guid. This pointer can be NULL. In that case the actual guid is not returned.
spacetokendesc
specifies the space token to use with dest_file. Can be NULL.
verbose
Verbose level. Here are the possible levels:
0
Only critical errors are put into errmsg.
1
Warnings are displayed on stderr as well as critical errors.
2
Debug information is displayed as well as warnings and critical errors.

 

NOTE

The environment variable LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS must point to the BDII, unless nobdii is set to a non-zero value. To use the RLS as catalog instead of the LFC, the environment variable LCG_CATALOG_TYPE must explicitely be set to "edg". By default, it is set to "lfc".

 

RETURN VALUE

This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, errno is set appropriately.

 

ERRORS

ENOENT
The named file does not exist.
EACCES
Permission denied.
EFAULT
src_file, dest_file or vo is an invalid pointer.
EINVAL
src_file or dest_file has an invalid syntax or guid is invalid.
ECOMM
Communication error.
ENAMETOOLONG
vo is too long.
EPROTONOSUPPORT
Access method not supported.
