This user guide describes how to perform various activities in DME. This Getting Started page tree provides introductory guidance, depending on how you intend to use DME:
If you need to move a large volume of data, you can do so using a Globus endpoint. DME uses Globus for high performance transfer of large files. Endpoints are destinations that represent locations on a file transfer service server, such as gridftp. The following activities in DME require a Globus endpoint:
- Registering multiple files
- Downloading a collection of data files
- Downloading multiple collections
- Downloading a single file asynchronously
- Downloading multiple files
- You can choose whether to use the web application's graphical user interface (GUI) or Command Line Utilities (CLU).
- If you want fine-grained control of the activity, or if you want to integrate it into your scientific workflow, consider using CLU.
- Otherwise, consider using the GUI.
All users ultimately use the Production tier. Some users initially use the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) tier as a training environment.
