Description of tables in BOOKKEEPING schema in the e-Ecology 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 e-Ecology 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 |
e-Ecology Grid-Store Catalog
The following three tables are used to implement the e-Ecology 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 |
