Major changes#

none

Changes that might break established workflows#

  • new job states (unclear whether tthey appear in your workflows): BLOCKED, PAUSED, STOPPED, WAITING, OTHER

  • access constraints for requesting job information; slk_helpers job_status does not work for any job id anymore (details below)

All fixes and new features#

  • new commands:

    • is_admin_session: Check if the use is currently logged in as normal user or admin user; mainly useful for admin users working on multiple accounts

    • print_rcrs: some HPSS files are stored as two parts on two tapes; command prints size and checksums of each file part; mainly useful for users who retrieve large amounts of old data

  • new commands work in progress to verify freshly archived files (see ). In the current state, they are mainly meant for DKRZ-internal processes. We do not guarantee that they will not be changed

    • submit_verify_job: run a verify job for a provided set of files

    • submit_verify_job_files (admins only; hidden): submit a verify-job for a list of files (as paths) or of resource ids; starts quicker than submit_verify_job

    • submit_verify_job_namespace (admins only; hidden): submit a verify-job for a namespace (as path) or a resource/namespace id; starts quicker than submit_verify_job

    • job_report: print a (verify) job report; we will provide a user-friendly version soon

  • new commands work in progress for specific search use cases. We do not guarantee that they will no be changed

    • search_immediately (hidden): Creates search and returns search id immediately, even if search is not finished; less error checks than in slk search => strange error message possible

    • search_incomplete: Prints whether the search is incomplete (still running)

    • search_successful: Prints whether the search was successful

  • catch all HTTP status code >= 400 everytime an HTTP request is send

  • new job states: BLOCKED, PAUSED, STOPPED, WAITING, OTHER

  • access constraints for requesting job information; this affects slk_helpers job_status and job_report; non-admin users may only access: * VERIFY jobs of the current user or * COPY jobs, which do retrievals/recalls and were started by slk

Known issues#

  • list_search may list already deleted files (not checked for performance reasons)
