Abstract
DIRAC and Rucio are two standard pieces of software widely used in the HEP domain. DIRAC provides Workload and Data Management functionalities, among other things, while Rucio is a dedicated, advanced Distributed Data Management system. Many communities that already use DIRAC have expressed their interest in using DIRAC for Workload Management in combination with Rucio for Data Management. In this paper, we describe the integration of the Rucio File Catalog into DIRAC that was initially developed for the Belle II collaboration.
Highlights
DIRAC (Distributed Infrastructure with Remote Agent Control) [1] is a piece of software initially developed for the LHCb collaboration [2]
Each file in the catalog has a Logical File Name (LFN) and each LFN can have a list of associated Physical File Names (PFN) that correspond to the physical copies of the files at different sites
Before the implementation of the Rucio File Catalog (RFC) plugin, two file catalogs were supported by DIRAC:
Summary
DIRAC (Distributed Infrastructure with Remote Agent Control) [1] is a piece of software initially developed for the LHCb collaboration [2]. It is designed as "interware" as it provides a complete solution for managing distributed resources. Developed by the ATLAS collaboration [4], Rucio has quickly gained popularity outside ATLAS due to its advanced features.
