Introduction

 

This document contains the interface specification of SRM 2.2.� It incorporates the functionality of SRM 2.0 and SRM 2.1, but is much expanded to include additional functionality, especially in the area of dynamic storage space reservation and directory functionality in client-acquired storage spaces.

 

This document reflects the discussions and conclusions of a 2-day meeting in May 2006, as well as email correspondence and conference calls.� The purpose of this activity is to further define the functionality and standardize the interface of Storage Resource Managers (SRMs) � a Grid middleware component.�

 

The document is organized in four sections.� The first, called �Defined Structures� contain all the type definitions used to define the functions (or methods).� The next 5 sections contain the specification of �Space Management Functions�, �Permission Functions�, �Directory Functions�, �Data Transfer Functions� and �Discovery Functions�.� All the �Discovery Functions� are newly added functions.

 

It is advisable to read the document SRM.v2.2.changes.doc posted at http://sdm.lbl.gov/srm-wg before reading this specification.

 

Each function from the functional interface specification is mapped into a separate WS portType request-response operation. The request-response operation is message exchange between the client and the endpoint, in which the request message is received by the endpoint and the endpoint sends back the response message. In the WSDL1.1 the message either an enumeration of its parts, or is of some complex type. If message is an enumeration, then each part is required and we can not express their options. If message is an instance of a complex type, then all the flexibility of the XML Schema can be applied to the definition of this type. So, express the options of some of the SRM function arguments in functional interface specification, we use the approach of defining a separate type for each request and the response message. Unfortunately,� some wsdl toolkit (at least it is true in case of Apache Axis and gSoap), this leads to the generation of the stubs with one input argument of request� message� type and one output argument of response message type. These are not limitations of the WSDL, but of the particular wsdl stab generation toolkits.

 

For notes and comments for each function, please refer to the functional specification (see http://sdm.lbl.gov/srm-wg/doc/SRM.spec.v2.2.html).

Understandings and Agreements

 

1. By �https� we mean http protocol with GSI authentication. It may be represented as �httpg�. At this time, any implementation of http with GSI authentication could be used. It is advisable that the implementation is compatible with Globus Toolkit 3.2 or later versions.
2. We use GSI proxy from the underlying https protocol to authenticate the caller.
3. Primitive types used below are consistent with XML build-in schema types: i.e.

• long is 64bit: (+/-) 9223372036854775807
• int is 32 bit: (+/-) 2147483647
• short is 16 bit: (+/-) 32767
• unsignedLong ranges (inclusive): 0 to18446744073709551615
• unsignedInt ranges (inclusive): 0 to 4294967295
• unsignedShort ranges (inclusive): 0 to 65535

4. The definition of the type �anyURI� is compliant with the XML standard. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#anyURI.�� It is defined as: "The lexical space of anyURI is finite-length character sequences which, when the algorithm defined in Section 5.4 of [XML Linking Language] is applied to them, result in strings which are legal URIs according to [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732]".

5.      In �localSURLInfo�, we mean local to the SRM that is processing the request.

6.      storageSystemInfo is added in the arguments of functions srmPrepareToGet() srmPrepareToPut() and srmCopy(). This is to simplify the case when all files sent to the request share the same storageSystemInfo. If storageSystemInfo is provided at the request level and the file level, SRM will use the one provided at the file level.

7.      authorizationID : from the SASL RFC 2222
During the authentication protocol exchange, the mechanism performs authentication, transmits an authorization identity (frequently known as a userid) from the client to server�. The transmitted authorization identity may be different than the identity in the client�s authentication credentials. This permits agents such as proxy servers to authenticate using their own credentials, yet request the access privileges of the identity for which they are proxying. With any mechanism, transmitting an authorization identity of the empty string directs the server to derive an authorization identity from the client�s authentication credentials.

8.      For SOAP inter-operability, we recommend Apache Axis for Java ( see http://ws.apache.org/axis/) or gSOAP for C/C++ from FSU (see http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soap.html).

9.      Regarding file sharing by the SRM, it is a local implementation decision.� An SRM can choose to share files by proving multiple users access to the same physical file, or by copying a file into another user�s space.� Either way, if an SRM chooses to share a file (that is, to avoid reading a file over again from the source site) the SRM should check with the source site whether the user has a read/write permission. Only if permission is granted, the file can be shared.

10.  The word �pinning� is limited to the �copies� or �states� of SURLs and the Transfer URLs (TURLs).

11.  For each function, status codes are defined with basic meanings for the function. Only those status codes are valid for the function. Specific cases are not stated for each status code. If other status codes need to be defined for a specific function, send an email to the collaboration to discuss the usage.

 

1. Common Types

 

We define the SRM WSDL namespace as following:

 

targetNamespace="http://srm.lbl.gov/StorageResourceManager"

xmlns:impl="http://srm.lbl.gov/StorageResourceManager"

wsdl:portType name="ISRM"

wsdl:binding name="srmSoapBinding" type="impl:ISRM"

wsdlsoap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"

wsdl:service name="SRMService"

wsdl:port name="srm" binding="impl:srmSoapBinding"

 

 

Notation:

• Underlined attributes are REQUIRED and non-nillable.
• Brackets [] are to show an arrayType.
• Min and Max are to show the number of occurrences of elements in a sequence. This can be interpreted as nillable.

 

 

1.1. Simple Types

 

 

 

TRetentionPolicy

 

o       Quality of Retention (Storage Class) is a kind of Quality of Service. It refers to the probability that the storage system lose a file. Numeric probabilities are self-assigned.

�         Replica quality has the highest probability of loss, but is appropriate for data that can be replaced because other copies can be accessed in a timely fashion.

�         Output quality is an intermediate level and refers to the data which can be replaced by lengthy or effort-full processes.

�         Custodial quality provides low probability of loss.

o       The type will be used to describe retention policy assigned to the files in the storage system, at the moments when the files are written into the desired destination in the storage system. It will be used as a property of space allocated through the space reservation function. Once the retention policy is assigned to a space, the files put in the reserved space will automatically be assigned the retention policy of the space. The assigned retention policy on the file can be found thought the TMetaDataPathDetail structure returned by the srmLs function.

 

TAccessLatency��

 

�         Files may be Online, Nearline or Offline. These terms are used to describe how latency to access a file is improvable. Latency is improved by storage systems replicating a file such that its access latency is online.

o       The ONLINE cache of a storage system is the part of the storage system which provides file with online latencies.

o       ONLINE has the lowest latency possible. No further latency improvements are applied to online files.

o       NEARLINE file can have their latency improved to online latency automatically by staging the file to online cache.

o       For completeness, we also describe OFFLINE here.

o       OFFLINE files need a human to be involved to achieve online latency.

o       For the SRM we only keep ONLINE and NEARLINE.

�         The type will be used to describe a space property that access latency can be requested at the time of space reservation. The content of the space, files may have the same or �lesser� access latency as the space.

 

TFileLocality

 

o       Files may be located online, nearline or both. This indicates if the file is online or not, or if the file reached to nearline or not. It also indicates if there are online and nearline copies of the file.

�         The ONLINE indicates that there is a file on online cache of a storage system which is the part of the storage system, and the file may be accessed with online latencies.

�         The NEARLINE indicates that the file is located on nearline storage system, and the file may be accessed with nearline latencies.

�         The ONLINE_AND_NEARLINE indicates that the file is located on online cache of a storage system as well as on nearline storage system.

�         The LOST indicates when the file is lost because of the permanent hardware failure.

�         The NONE value shall be used if the file is empty (zero size).�

�         The UNAVAILABLE indicates that the file is unavailable due to the temporary hardware failure.

o       The type will be used to describe a file property that indicates the current location or status in the storage system.

 

 

TAccessPattern

 

o        TAccessPattern will be passed as an input parameter to the srmPrepareToGet and srmBringOnline functions. It will make a hint from the client to SRM how the Transfer URL (TURL) produced by SRM is going to be used. If the parameter value is �ProcessingMode�, the system may expect that client application will perform some processing of the partially read data, followed by more partial reads and a frequent use of the protocol specific �seek� operation. This will allow optimizations by allocating files on disks with small buffer sizes. If the value is �TransferMode� the file will be read at the highest speed allowed by the connection between the server and a client.

 

TConnectionType

 

o        TConnectionType indicates if the client is connected though a local or wide area network. SRM may optimize the access parameters to achieve maximum throughput for the connection type. This will be passed as an input to the srmPrepareToGet, srmPrepareToPut and srmBringOnline functions.

 

 

1.2. Complex Types

 

 

 

TRequestToken

 

�         The TRequestToken assigned by SRM is unique and immutable (non-reusable).� For example, if the date:time is part of the requestToken it will be immutable.

 

TUserPermission

 

�         TUserID may represent the associated client�s Distinguished Name (DN) instead of unix style login name.� VOMS role may be included.

 

TGroupPermission

 

o       TGroupID may represent the associated client�s Distinguished Name (DN) instead of unix style login name. VOMS role may be included.

 

TSizeInBytes

o       xsd:unsignedLong � Unsigned integer of 64 bits

 

 

 

TUTCTime

 

o       Formerly TGMTTime in v2.1

o       date and time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, formerly GMT) with no local time extention.

o       Format is same as in XML dateTime type, except no local time extension is allowed. E.g. 1999-05-31T13:20:00 is ok (for 1999 May 31st, 13:20PM, UTC) but 1999-05-31T13:20:00-5:00 is not.

 

TLifeTimeInSeconds

 

o       xsd:unsignedLong � Unsigned integer of 64 bits

o       �0� (zero) will indicate the �infinite� lifetime.

 

TMetaDataPathDetail

 

o       The TMetaDataPathDetail describes the properties of a file. It is used as an output parameter in srmLs.

o       retentionPolicyInfo indicates the assigned retention policy.

o       fileLocality indicates where the file is located currently in the system.

o       arrayOfSpaceTokens as an array of TSpaceToken indicates where the file is currently located for the client. Only space tokens that the client has authorized to access to read the file must be returned.�

 

TMetaDataSpace

 

o       TMetaDataSpace is used to describe properties of a space, and is used as an output parameter in srmGetSpaceMetaData.

o       retentionPolicyInfo indicates the information about retention policy and access latency that the space is assigned. retentionPolicyInfo is requested and assigned at the time of space reservation through srmReserveSpace and srmStatusOfReserveSpaceRequest.

o       TMetaDataSpace refers to a single space with retention policy.� It does not include the extra space needed to hold the directory structures, if there is any.

 

 

 

TExtraInfo

 

o        TExtraInfo is used where additional information is needed, such as for additional information for transfer protocols of TURLs in srmPing, srmGetTransferProtocols, srmStatusOfGetRequest, and srmStatusOfPutRequest.� For example, when it is used for additional information for transfer protocols, the keys may specify access speed, available number of parallelism, and other transfer protocol properties.

o        It is also used where additional information to the underlying storage system is needed, such as for additional information, but not limited to, for storage device, storage login ID, storage login authorization. Formerly, it was TStorageSystemInfo.

 

TTransferParameters

 

o        TTransferParameters is used where arrayOfTransferProtocols was used previously in SRM v2.1.

o        TGetFileRequest includes TAccessPattern which may conflict with the characteristics of the online disk of the target space associated with target space token if provided. In this case, TAccessPattern must be ignored

o        File transfer protocols are specified in a preferred order on all SRM transfer functions.

o        arrayOfClientNetworks is a hint of the client IPs that SRM/dCache can use for optimization of its internal storage systems based on the client�s accessible IP addresses.

 

TPutFileRequest

 

o        If the optional targetSURL is provided, then the reference SURL is generated by the SRM. Specific SRM implementation may require targetSURL as an input parameter.

 

 

 

 

 

TRequestSummary

 

o       Int� totalNumFilesInRequest

Output parameter reporting the total number of files in the request

o       Boolean isSuspended�

Output parameter reporting if the request has been suspended or not

 

 

TSupportedTransferProtocol

 

o       transferProtocol (required): Supported transfer protocol. For example, gsiftp, http.

o       attributes: Informational hints for the paired transfer protocol, such how many number of parallel streams can be used, desired buffer size, etc.

2.1. srmReserveSpace

���������

This function is used to reserve a space in advance for the upcoming requests to get some guarantee on the file management. Asynchronous space reservation may be necessary for some SRMs to serve many concurrent requests.

 

Input	srmReserveSpaceRequest
Output	srmReserveSpaceResponse

 

 

2.1.1. Notes on the Behavior

a)      If the input parameter desiredLifetimeOfReservedSpace is not provided, the lifetime of the reserved space is set to �infinite� by default.

b)      If the input parameter retentionPolicyInfo cannot be satisfied by the SRM server, SRM_INVALID_REQUEST must be returned.

c)      Asynchronous space reservation may be necessary for some SRMs to serve many concurrent requests. In such case, request token must be returned, and space token must not be assigned and returned until space reservation is completed, to prevent the usage of the space token in other interfaces before the space reservation is completed. If the space reservation can be done immediately, request token must not be returned.

d)     When asynchronous space reservation is necessary, the returned status code should be SRM_REQUEST_QUEUED.

e)      Input parameter arrayOfExpectedFileSize is a hint that SRM server can use to reserve consecutive storage sizes for the request. At the time of space reservation, if space accounting is done only at the level of the total size, this hint would not help. In such case, the expected file size at the time of srmPrepareToPut will describe how much consecutive storage size is needed for the file. However, some SRMs may get benefits from these hints to make a decision to allocate some blocks in some specific devices.

f)       Optional input parameter storageSystemInfo is needed in case the underlying storage system requires additional security information.

g)      SRM may return its default space size and lifetime if not requested by the client. SRM may return SRM_INVALID_REQUEST if SRM does not support default space sizes.

h)      If input parameter desiredSizeOfTotalSpace is not specified, the SRM will return its default space size.

i)        Output parameter estimateProcessingTime is used to indicate the estimation time to complete the space reservation request, when known.

j)        Output parameter sizeOfTotalReservedSpace is in best effort bases. For guaranteed space size, sizeOfGuaranteedReservedSpace should be checked. These two numbers may match, depending on the storage systems.

k)      Output parameter spaceToken is a reference handle of the reserved space.

 

2.1.2. Return Status Code

SRM_SUCCESS

�         successful request completion. Space is reserved successfully as the client requested.

SRM_ REQUEST_QUEUED

�         successful request submission and acceptance. Request token must be returned, and space token must not be assigned and returned.

�         the input parameter retentionPolicyInfo cannot be satisfied by the SRM server.

�         If space size or lifetime is not requested by the client, and SRM does not support default values for space size or lifetime.

�         input parameters do not conform the SRM server. For example, client requested negative desiredLifetimeOfReservedSpace and SRM server cannot honor the number.

SRM_NO_USER_SPACE

�         SRM server does not have enough user space for the client for client to request to reserve.

SRM_NO_FREE_SPACE

�         SRM server does not have enough free space for client to request to reserve.

SRM_EXCEED_ALLOCATION

�         SRM server does not have enough space for the client to fulfill the request because the client request needs more than the allocated space �quota for the client.

SRM_INTERNAL_ERROR

�         SRM has an internal transient error, and client may try again.

SRM_FAILURE

�         any other request failure. Explanation needs to be filled for details.

SRM_NOT_SUPPORTED

�         any input parameter is not supported in the SRM server

�         a particular type of an input parameter is not supported in the SRM server

 

 

2.2. srmStatusOfReserveSpaceRequest

 

This function is used to check the status of the previous request to srmReserveSpace, when asynchronous space reservation was necessary with the SRM. Request token must have been provided in response to the srmReserveSpace.

 

Input	srmStatusOfReserveSpaceRequestRequest
Output	srmStatusOfReserveSpaceRequestResponse

 

 

2.2.1. Notes on the Behavior

a)      If the space reservation is not completed yet, estimateProcessingTime is returned when known. The returned status code in such case should be SRM_REQUEST_QUEUED.

b)      See notes for srmReserveSpace for descriptions for output parameters.

�         client is not authorized to reserve space

SRM_INVALID_REQUEST

�         requestToken does not refer to an existing known request in the SRM server.

2.3. srmReleaseSpace

 

srmReleaseSpace() releases an occupied space.

 

Input	srmReleaseSpaceRequest
Output	srmReleaseSpaceResponse

 

 

2.3.1. Notes on the Behavior

a)      forceFileRelease is false by default.� This means that the space will not be released if it has files that are still pinned in the space.� To release the space regardless of the files it contains and their status forceFileRelease must be specified to be true.

b)      When space is releasable and forceFileRelease is true, all the files in the space are released, even in durable or permanent space.

c)      srmReleaseSpace may not complete right away because of the lifetime of files in the space.� When space is released, the files in that space are treated according to their types: If file storage types are permanent, keep them until further operation such as srmRm is issued by the client. If file storage types are durable, perform necessary actions at the end of their lifetime. If file storage types are volatile, release those files at the end of their lifetime.

 

2.3.2. Return Status Code

SRM_SUCCESS

�         successful request completion. Space is successfully released.

�         SRM has an internal transient error, and client may try again.

SRM_NOT_SUPPORTED

�         forceFileRelease is not supported

�         function is not supported

SRM_FAILURE

�         space still contains pinned files.

�         space associated with space is already released.

�         any other request failure. Explanation needs to be filled for details.

 

 

2.4. srmUpdateSpace

 

srmUpdateSpace is to resize the space and/or extend the lifetime of a space. Asynchronous operation may be necessary for some SRMs to serve many concurrent requests.

 

Input	srmUpdateSpaceRequest
Output	srmUpdateSpaceResponse

 

 

2.4.1. Notes on the Behavior

a)      If neither size nor lifetime is provided in the input parameters, then the request will be failed.

b)      newSize is the new actual size of the space.

c)      newLifetime is the new lifetime requested regardless of the previous lifetime, and has to be positive.� It might even be shorter than the remaining lifetime at the time of the call. It is relative to the calling time. Lifetime will be set from the calling time for the specified period.

5.1.1. Notes on the Behavior

a)      The default value of �lifetime� for Volatile or Durable files will be the lifetime left in the space of the corresponding file type. The default value of �fileStorageType� is Volatile.

b)      If input parameter TSpaceToken is provided, then the target space token must refer to online space. All requested files will be prepared into the target space.

c)      Input parameter targetFileRetentionPolicyInfo of TRetentionPolicyInfo is to specify the desired retention policy information on the file when the file is prepared online.

d)     If both input parameters TSpaceToken and TRetentionPolicyInfo are provided, then their types must match exactly. Otherwise, the request may be rejected with SRM_INVALID_REQUEST.

e)      Access latency must be ONLINE always.

f)       Input parameter TAccessPattern is provided at the request-level, and all files will have the same access pattern.�

g)      TAccessPattern may conflict with the type of the target space associated with target space token, when both provided. In this case, TAccessPattern in the input parameter TTransferParameters must be ignored.

h)      The userRequestDescription is a user designated name for the request.� It can be used in the srmGetRequestID function to get back the system assigned request tokens.�

i)        Only pull mode is supported for file transfers that client must pull the files from the TURL within the expiration time (remainingPinTime).

j)        Input parameter desiredPinLifetime is for a client preferred lifetime (expiration time) on the prepared TURL.

k)      If request is accepted, SRM assigns the requestToken for asynchronous status checking. In such case, the returned status code should be SRM_REQUEST_QUEUED.

l)        totalRequestTime means: All the file transfer for this request must be complete within this totalRequestTime. �Otherwise, SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT must be returned as the status code with individual file status of SRM_REQUEST_SUSPENDED.

m)    Client may use srmResumeRequest() to resume the request in the status of SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT because of the totalRequestTime.

n)      Client must use srmAbortRequest() to terminate the request in the status of SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT because of the totalRequestTime.

o)      SRM server may terminate the timed-out request after a certain period of time.

p)      If totalRequestTime is 0 (zero), SRM server must continues the request until completed.

q)      The invocation of srmReleaseFile() is expected for finished files later on.

r)       The returned request token should be valid until all files in the request are released or removed.

5.3. srmBringOnline

 

This function is used to bring files online upon the client�s request so that client can make certain data readily available for future access. In hierarchical storage systems, it is expected to �stage� files to the top hierarchy and make sure that the files stay online for a certain period of time.

k)      This call may be an asynchronous (non-blocking) call, and SRM assigns the requestToken when the request is valid and accepted. The returned status code should be SRM_REQUEST_QUEUED. To get subsequent status and results, separate calls should be made through srmStatusOfBringOnline.

l)        The returned request token should be valid until all files in the request are released, removed or aborted.

m)    Input parameter totalRequestTime means: All the file transfer for this request must be complete within this totalRequestTime.� Otherwise, SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT must be returned as the status code with individual file status of SRM_REQUEST_SUSPENDED.

n)      If totalRequestTime is 0 (zero), SRM server must continues the request until completed.

o)      Client may use srmResumeRequest() to resume the request in the status of SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT because of the totalRequestTime.

p)      Client must use srmAbortRequest() to terminate the request in the status of SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT because of the totalRequestTime.

q)      SRM server may terminate the timed-out request after a certain period of time.

r)       When srmAbortRequest is requested for srmBringOnline request, the request gets aborted, but those files that are brought online will remain in the space where they are brought in, and are not removed.� Clients need to remove those files through srmPurgeFromSpace or srmRm.

5.5.1. Notes on the Behavior

a)      The default value of �lifetime� for Volatile or Durable files will be the lifetime left in the space of the corresponding file type. The default value of �fileStorageType� is Volatile.

b)      TURL returned by the srmPrepareToPut may not be used for read access with any protocol. An explicit srmPrepareToGet or srmBringOnline is required.

c)      TAccessPattern may conflict with the type of the target space associated with target space token, when both provided. In this case, TAccessPattern in the input parameter TTransferParameters must be ignored.

d)     Input parameter TSpaceToken is provided at the request-level, and all files in the request will end up in the space that is associated with the target space token if the space is enough for all files.

e)      Input parameter targetFileRetentionPolicyInfo of TRetentionPolicyInfo is to specify the desired retention policy information on the file when the file is written into the target storage system.

f)       If both input parameters TSpaceToken and TRetentionPolicyInfo are provided, then their types must match exactly. Otherwise, the request may be rejected and SRM_INVALID_REQUEST must be returned.

g)      Only push mode is supported for file transfers that client must �push� the file to the prepared TURL.

h)      Input parameter targetSURL in the TPutFileRequest has to be local to SRM. If targetSURL is not specified, SRM will make a reference for the file request automatically and put it in the specified user space if provided. This reference SURL will be returned along with the �Transfer URL�.

i)        srmPutDone() is expected after each file is �put� into the prepared TURL.

j)        Input parameter desiredPinLifetime is the lifetime (expiration time) on the TURL when the Transfer URL is prepared. It does not refer to the lifetime of the SURL.

k)      Input parameter desiredFileLifetime is the lifetime of the SURL when the file is put into the storage system. It does not refer to the lifetime (expiration time) of the TURL.

l)        The lifetime of the SURL starts as soon as SRM receives the srmPutDone().� If srmPutDone() is not provided, then the files in that space are subject to removal when the lifetime on the TURL expires or the lifetime on the space expires.� The lifetime on the TURL can be found in the status of the file request as output parameter remainingPinTime in TPutRequestFileStatus.

m)    If request is accepted, SRM assigns the requestToken for asynchronous status checking. In such case, the returned status code should be SRM_REQUEST_QUEUED.

n)      Input parameter totalRequestTime means: All the file transfer for this request must be complete within this totalRequestTime. �Otherwise, SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT must be returned as the status code with individual file status of SRM_REQUEST_SUSPENDED.

o)      �If totalRequestTime is 0 (zero), SRM server must continues the request until completed.

p)      Client may use srmResumeRequest() to resume the request in the status of SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT because of the totalRequestTime.

q)      Client must use srmAbortRequest() to terminate the request in the status of SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT because of the totalRequestTime.

r)       SRM server may terminate the timed-out request after a certain period of time.

5.7. srmCopy

 

This function is used to copy files from source storage sites into the target storage sites. The source storage site or the target storage site needs to be the SRM itself that the client makes the srmCopy request. If both source and target are local to the SRM, it performed a local copy. There are two cases for remote copies: 1. Target SRM is where client makes a srmCopy request (PULL case), 2. Source SRM is where client makes a srmCopy request (PUSH case).�

1. PULL case: Upon the client�s srmCopy request, the target SRM makes a space at the target storage, and makes a request srmPrepareToGet to the source SRM. When TURL is ready at the source SRM, the target SR M transfers the file from the source TURL into the prepared target storage. After the file transfer completes, srmReleaseFiles is issued to the source SRM.
2. PUSH case: Upon the client�s srmCopy request, the source SRM prepares a file to be transferred out to the target SRM, and makes a request srmPrepareToPut to the target SRM. When TURL is ready at the target SRM, the source SRM transfers the file from the prepared source into the prepared target TURL. After the file transfer completes, srmPutDone is issued to the target SRM.

When specified target space token is provided, the files will be located finally in the targeted space associated with the space token.� It is an asynchronous operation, and request token must be returned. The status may be checked through srmStatusOfCopyRequest with the returned request token.

5.7.1. Notes on the Behavior

a)      The default value of �lifetime� for Volatile or Durable files will be the lifetime left in the space of the corresponding file type. The default value of �fileType� is Volatile.

b)      When aborted, target SURLs need to be provided.

c)      Input parameter TSpaceToken is provided at the request-level, and all files in the request will end up in the space that is associated with the target space token.

e)      If both input parameters TSpaceToken and TRetentionPolicyInfo are provided, then their types must match exactly. Otherwise, the request may be rejected, and SRM_INVALID_REQUEST must be returned.

f)       If request is accepted, SRM assigns the requestToken for asynchronous status checking. In such case, the returned status code should be SRM_REQUEST_QUEUED.

g)      Pull mode: copy from remote location to the SRM. (e.g. from remote to MSS.)

h)      Push mode: copy from the SRM to remote location.

i)        Always release files through srmReleaseFiles from the source after copy is done, if source is an SRM and PULL mode was performed.

j)        Always issue srmPutDone to the target after copy is done, if target is an SRM and PUSH mode was performed.

k)      Note there is no protocol negotiation with the client for this request.

l)        Input parameter desiredTotalRequestTime means: if all the file transfer for this request must be complete in this desiredTotalRequestTime. Otherwise, the request is returned as failed at the end of the desiredTotalRequestTime, and SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT must be returned as the status code with individual file status of SRM_REQUEST_SUSPENDED. All completed files must not be removed, but status of the files must be returned to the client.

m)    If totalRequestTime is 0 (zero), SRM server must continues the request until completed.

n)      Client may use srmResumeRequest() to resume the request in the status of SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT because of the totalRequestTime.

o)      Client must use srmAbortRequest() to terminate the request in the status of SRM_REQUEST_TIMED_OUT because of the totalRequestTime.

p)      SRM server may terminate the timed-out request after a certain period of time.

q)      When both sourceSURL and targetSURL are local, local copy must be performed.

r)       Empty directories are copied as well.

s)       If a targetSURL is provided with some directory structure, the directory structure must exist, and SRM will not create the directory structure for the targetSURL.� In such case, SRM_INVALID_PATH must be returned. srmMkdir may be used to create the directory structure.

t)       If the sourceSURL and targetSURL are provided as directories (copying directories) when SRM implementation supports, then all sub directories will be copied over from the source to the target, and complete sub-directory structure will be created only if TDirOption indicates them.

7.2. SRM WSDL discovery method

 

May 1, 2003

 

�

A) SURL format:

srm://host[:port]/[soap_end_point_path?SFN=]site_file_name

 

where [�] means optional, and letters in bold are fixed.

 

We note if the SURL contains the soap_end_point_path, then� it is not possible to change the soap endpoint without changing all the previously published SURLs.

 

Example SURLs:

 

Without soap_end_point_path:

srm://dm.lbl.gov:4001/ABC/file_x

 

with soap_end_point_path:

srm://dm.lbl.gov:4001/srm_servlet?SFN=ABC/file_x

 

 

B) Given that soap-end-point-path clause is provided, then the soap endpoint is:

https://host[:port]/soap_end_point_path

 

C)� If port is missing, the default port assumed is 8443, which is the port for https with GSI.

 

The discussion below assumes no endpoint in the SURL, and shows how the soap endpoints and wsdl can be found given an SURL�

 

 

Issues:

 

1. We wish to have a way of finding the SRM WSDL for multiple versions from the SURL.

 

2. We wish to support clients that know what SRM version they want to use.� For example, a client that uses version 1.1, should be able to got the WSDL and/or the SOAP endpoint for it directly.

 

3. We wish to have a default where an SRM version number is not mentioned.� The version returned in this case is whatever the SRM currently supports, or if multiple versions are supported, the SRM chooses what to return.

 

4. We wish to allow a file accessed by a previous SRM version to be accessed by a future SRM version without having to change the SURL.� Furthermore, if the file can be accessed by either version simultaneously (that depend on the SRM implementation) that should be possible too.

 

5. We wish to have a way for a client to find out which version the SRM supports and the endpoint without having to read the WSDL.� This is necessary in a changing world, where new version can be introduced.�

 

6. We wish to have a client that can use multiple SRM versions to find out which SRM version is supported by the SRM.� This is probably the most realistic scenario, since we cannot expect all SRMs to support the same version at any one time.

 

7. We wish to have a client find out which SRM versions are supported for accessing a particular file, in case that files can be accessed by multiple SRM versions simultaneously.� This is related to point 3 above.

 

This is a long wish list, but the proposed solution is simple.� We assume that the WSDL will contain the version number.� First, we propose that every SRM WSDL starts with:

SRM version number--> (e.g. <!--SRM version 2.1.3-->)

 

Now, the solution is as follows:

 

Give an SURL: srm://host[:port]/path/file (e.g. srm://dm.lbl.gov:4001/ABC/file_x)

The following can be derived:

Case 1)

For clients that know what SRM versions they want to use:

https://host:port/srm/srm.version.wsdl

https://host:port/srm/srm.version.endpoint

 

For example, given the SURL above, and the client uses version 1.1, you derive:

https://dm.lbl.gov:4001/srm/srm.1.1.wsdl

https://dm.lbl.gov:4001/srm/srm.1.1.endpoint

 

Note: the endpoint returned can be any URI, e.g.: https://gizmo.lbl.gov:10001/srm/v1.0

or:� https://dm.lbl.gov:12345/servlet/srm.1.1)

 

Case 2)

For clients that don�t know the version, and want to use the default:

https://host:port/srm/srm.wsdl

https://host:port/srm/srm.endpoint

 

For the example above:

https://dm.lbl.gov:4001/srm/srm.wsdl

https://dm.lbl.gov:4001/srm/srm.endpoint

 

Case 3)

For clients that want to find out the SRM version and endpoint without getting the entire WSDL:

https://host:port/srm/srm.info

 

The srm.info file will contain:

<!--SRM version number-- --srmEndpoint-->

For example:

<!--SRM version 2.1.3-- -- https://gizmo.lbl.gov:10001/srm-->

 

Case 4)

For servers that support multiple srm version accessing the SAME file:

The same format as above repeating for each srm version.

For example:

<!--SRM version 1.1-- -- https://sdm.lbl.gov:5005/srm-->

<!--SRM version 2.1.3-- -- https://gizmo.lbl.gov:10001/srm-->

 

To summarize, the following is what should be supported for WSDL and endpoint discovery:

 

Given an SURL:

srm://host[:port]/site_file_name

 

The following can be derived:

 

a) https://host[:port]/srm/srm[.version].wsdl

b) https://host[:port]/srm/srm[.version].endpoint

c) https://host[:port]/srm/srm.info

Where the content have the format repeated as many time as there are supported versions:

<!--SRM version number-- --srmEndpoint-->
