If your user account has the Read, Write, or Own permission level on various collections, you can download one or more of data files in those collections, from DME to an Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 bucket.
To download one or more collections to data files to S3:
Prepare an S3 bucket, as described in Preparing to use Amazon Web Services S3 with DME.
Consider whether you want to download a single collection or multiple collectionsdata file or multiple data files:
- To download a single collectiondata file: Plan to specify the path for that collection in data file in the command.
- To download multiple collectionsdata files: In your file system, create a file that lists the paths for all of the DME collections data files you want to download, delimited by newline. Plan to use the -f option to specify that file in the command.
If you are using Cygwin on Windows and downloading multiple collectionsdata files, run the following command in Cygwin to change end-of-line delimiters from Windows standard to Unix standard in the collection file list file:
Code Block sed -i "s/\r$//" <collection<file-list>
Run the following command:
Code Block dm_download_collectiondataojbect_s3 [optional parameters] [collectionarchive-logical-path] <destination S3 bucket> <destination-path> [AWS credentials file path]
The following table describes each parameter:
collectionParameter Description [-D <REST-response>]
An optional parameter, specifying a path and filename in your file system. The system always creates a response file:
- If you specify this parameter, the system saves the response from the server to the specified file in the specified location.
- If you omit this parameter, the system saves the file as download-
collection- dataobject-response-header.tmp in your home directory.
[-o <output-json-file>]
An optional parameter, specifying a path and filename in your file system. The system always creates an output file:
- If you specify this parameter, the system saves the output to the specified file in the specified location.
- If you omit this parameter, the system saves the output as download-
collection- dataobject-response-message.json.tmp in your home directory.
If the command is successful, the output file is empty.
[-f <paths-file>]
or
[
logical-archive-
collectionpath]
One or more paths within DME. Select one of the following methods to specify the
collectionsdata file or
collectionsdata files that you want to download:
- To specify multiple
collections- data files, use the -f parameter to specify a path and filename in your file system, of a file that lists the paths for all of the DME
collection- data files you want to download, delimited by newline.
- To specify a single
collection- data file, specify the path for the DME
- data file you want to download.
<destination S3 bucket>
The name of the destination S3 bucket. <destination path>
The path to and the name of the folder in the destination bucket. Do not begin the path with a slash. [AWS credentials file path]
The location of the credentials file. If your credentials file is in the default location, as noted in Preparing to use Amazon Web Services S3 with DME, you can omit this parameter.
The following example downloads a data.txt data file from the Project_1 collection from the PI_Lab1 collection in 1 collection in DME to a bucket1 bucket in a collectionA collection.

dm_download_collectiondataobject_s3 /Example_Archive/PI_Lab1/Project_1/data.txt bucket1 collectionA |
For another example, consider the following command.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|

dm_download_collectiondataobject_s3 -f collectionfile-list.txt bucket1 collectionA |
With the following code in the specified collectionfile-list.txt file, the above command downloads multiple collections data files from various locations in DME.
