IRODS integration for UNICORE 6

Install Steps:

1. Download the uas-irods-X.jar : or create it yourself by fetching the project from the repository

2. Download the Jargon-2.3.0.jar, slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar and slf4j-nop-1.6.1.jar

3. Copy all jars to the $UNICORE_HOME/unicorex/lib/ directory

4. Modify $UNICORE_HOME/unicorex/conf/uas.config by adding new targetsystem, example:

uas.targetsystem.storage=IRODS
uas.targetsystem.storage.type=CUSTOM
uas.targetsystem.storage.path=/
uas.targetsystem.storage.class=de.fzj.unicore.uas.irods.SMSIRodsImpl

Note::: the variable resolution only works with the classic Perl TSI, not with the embedded Java TSI.

5. Create a configuration file defining the iRODs servers, names of iRODs resources, users.
The file shoudl have te follwing format:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<irods>
<storage>
<hostname>localhost</hostname>
<port>1247</port>
<username>rods<username>
<password>rods</password>
<homeDirectory>/Zone/home/rods</homeDirectory>
<zone>Zone</zone>
<defaultStorageResource>Rescources</defaultStorageResource>
</storage>
</irods>

Example: irods.storages

6. Register the iRODs configuration file with UNICORE using one of the two methods

use the default location for file, which is
$UNICORE_HOME/unicorex/conf/irods.storages
or
add irods.storages.file param pointing to the configuration file when running the unicorex component

Limitations: currently UnIRODS can connect only to one IRODS server
