Use Case title: Data management client operations on different platforms

Short description: The use of gLite software is essentially restricted to a small set of Linux flavours. For a data grid like ILDG it would be of major benefit to have data management client tools available for a larger set of unix platforms.

Actors involved:


Steps:

  1. Perform sign-on, i.e. generate proxy certificate.
  2. Manipulate content of file catalogue.
  3. Up- or download data from a storage element, delete files from a storage element, replicate data between storage elements.

Middleware involved:

  • Tools for managing proxy certificates
  • Data management client tools (e.g. gridftp, srmcp, GFAL, lcg-util)

Applications involved: No non-standard appications are involved.
