WLCG Tape REST API discussion

Friday 25 Jun 2021, 15:00 → 16:45 Europe/Zurich

Cedric Caffy (CERN), Mihai Patrascoiu (CERN)

The aim of this meeting will be to discuss and validate the message exchanged between the client and our common API.

In order to ease this process, Andrea kindly created a Github repository in which there is a simple Open API definition project (thanks!). This allows to edit and simulate the interactions that a client will have with our API (messages exchange, error cases...).

Please feel free to edit this project ahead of the meeting so that we just have to validate/modify these message exchanges during our next meeting. Here is the link to the Github repository: https://github.com/wlcg-storage/wlcg-tape-rest-api

Github project to the OpenAPI definition program

The fact that the FILEINFO activity is asynchronous poses a problem for FTS, mainly for the file archival tracking workflow.

Mihai Patrascoiu will do a short presentation to explain to us the different issues he might have if FILEINFO is asynchronous
