Rucio web requests are handled via https://cms-rucio-webui.cern.ch/r2d2/request


If you want to make a request (rule in rucio), follow the following tuturial.


This are basic instructions on rucio.

Find the full info on: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/Rucio

- You need to be on sl7 for the commands to work

- initialise the env:

source /cvmfs/cms.cern.ch/cmsset_default.sh
source /cvmfs/cms.cern.ch/rucio/setup-py3.sh
voms-proxy-init -voms cms -rfc -valid 192:00
export RUCIO_ACCOUNT=`whoami`

- in rucio, a transfer is called a rule. In order to create a rule:

rucio add-rule cms:/CMS/DATA/SET/NAME 1 T2_MY_SITE  
rucio add-rule cms:/CMS/DATA/SET/NAME#BLOCK-NAME 1 T2_MY_SITE

- if there is a lot of data, add

--asynchronous

- users can also request rules, who are then to be approved by the admins. This is done with 2 extra modifiers:

--ask-approval

and

--lifetime (in seconds; for reference, 30 days is 2592000 seconds)

- check your rules:

rucio list-rules --account $RUCIO_ACCOUNT List all the rules you have and their state
rucio rule-info [RULE_HASH] monitor the progress of your rule and any transfers it may have initiated

More info here

- requests can also be done for users, but I have not tested this.


- users can also be given quota’s


- datasets can be grouped into containers. This can be handy if several datasets are needed for a specific analysis. All of then can then also be removed together if the analysis is finished. This is done via rucio containers. More info here.
