Re: AW: [geclipse-dev] Transferring local input files duringjob submission - changes in jdl

Hello Jie!

I think you do not need to change the JDL. The directory in Sandbox just tells the system where to find the files that have to be transfered to the CE. The files will be stored on the directory (on the CE) where the executable will be run. So the executable can find the input files.

I didn't think about solution, where Working Node transfer files from user's local machine. Thanks for this!

Yes - it's possible. We can add to JDL attribute InputSandboxBaseURI like:
InputSandboxBaseURI = { "mariusz.man.poznan.pl" }

It tells that all 'local' files (without server specified) should be staged-in by Worker Node from user's machine 'mariusz.man.poznan.pl'

It works fine in standard gLite ui.
In g-Eclipse it should also works, but not reliable.

Unfortunately in this solution, user's machine should work as gridFTP server. What means should be accessible from the Internet and has opened proper ports, with gridFTP server software installed.

If g-Eclipse wound transfer input files to WN sandbox by yourself, then it could run like standard client machine, not server.

That's why I would stay with transferring local files by g-Eclipse.
