Description of tables in BOOKKEEPING schema in the Flysafe database
FILES
The FILES table describes the status of all data-files which have been or need to be processed. This information is used by the bookkeeping service on the flysafe website
ID | unique file id |
filename | unique file name |
file_type | Type of file ie MPR, ECMWF, |
file_size | Size of file in bytes |
status | Status of file ie new, processed, archived |
filename_time | Time associated with filename as timestamp. |
time_in | Timestamp when file was first registered |
time_changed | Timestamp of last status change |
Flysafe Grid-Store Catalog
The following three tables are used to implement the Flysafe Grid-Store catalog. If files are being archived or copied the Grid-Storage, this is administratred in the following tables.
For Grid-Storage it is preferable to have a limited number of big files instead of many small files. Therefore files are first collected into bigger archives, which are then stored as archive to the Grid-Storage. This is also maintained in the tables below.
FILE_CATALOG
Every file to be stored gets an entry in the FILE_CATALOG table.
id | ID for file |
filename | Unique filename |
filetype | Type of file (MPR, tar, etc) |
path | Original path of file on Flysafe server |
ARCHIVE_FILE
Files can be collected together in archive (usually tar files). These archive files are also registered as files in the FILE_CATALOG table. The ARCHIVE_FILE table contains the information about which files are in what archive file.
archive_id | Id of archive file in FILE_CATALOG table |
file_id | Id of file in archive in FILE_CATALOG table |
archive_path | Path of file in archive |
FILE_REPLICA
The FILE_REPLICA table contains the actual storage location of the stored files. It is possible to have more replicas of the same file.
file_id | References in file_catalog |
replica_id | replicanumber, ie 1 for first replica, 2 for second etc |
surl | SURL is the storage location. |
stored | timestamp with time of storage |
adler32 | adler32 checksum of file |
verified | boolean indicator |
Auxiliary tables
SRMREQUEST
The SRMREQUEST table is used when it is requested to have a file or group of files restored from SRM. In this table the status of the request is maintained so that it can be shown on a website. It is also possible to check all requests for a specific user.
id | Unique ID |
username | Name of user who requested the restore |
status | Status of the request |
time_start | Timestamp when request was started |
time_changed | Timestamp when request was changed |
