descMetaData user command test

Test Objectives

Exerscise valid command options in descMetaData user command
Exercise some invalid command options to test exception handling

APIs affected by this test

managerAPI: directs processing of the insertion user commands to the ligolwAPI and metadataAPI and returns the user command status to the user.
ligolwAPI:
- Retrieves the data to be ingested from the specified url to ilwd object and sends the ilwd to the metadataAPI for insertion.
metadataAPI:
- insert the metadata ilwd data from ligolwAPI into the specified database.

Setup

Using ligotools

If ligotools is desired, check that ligotools is mounted:

        ldas:ldas:ldas-dev.ldas-dev:test> df /ligotools
        Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
        /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s6    498316151 326700089 171616062  66% /export

Set up a default ldas account and password via ligotools utility ldaspw. Currently ligotools does not support job submission via globus sockets.

Default is use the LDAS ldasJob package included in installation. Globus socket is supported.
Test driver descMetadata.tcl is found in /ldas/testbin and is part of ldas installation. Supporting generic test scripts are in /ldas/lib/test and /ldas/libexec.


        
        
        Test Execution
		
        Login to dev gateway as user ldas
		cd <your work directory>
		
        Usage:  /ldas/testbin/descMetaData.tcl [options] >& descMetData.log & 
        Options described are specific to descMetaData but when running generic options are included.

        

            
                Option
                Description
			

                <--database>
                database name at a site e.g. dev_1
        
e.g. with globus sockets
        
   	descMetaData.tcl --site dev -debug 0 -verbose lpse --enable-globus 1 --enable-gsi 1 
    	--database dev_1 </dev/null >& descMetaData.log &
        and with tcl sockets
        descMetaData.tcl --site dev -debug 0 -verbose lpse --enable-globus 0 --enable-gsi 0 
        --database dev_1 </dev/null >& descMetaData.log &
        To enable debugging, set debug level to 1 or greater         
   	descMetaData.tcl --site dev -debug 1 -verbose lpse --enable-globus 1 --enable-gsi 1 
    	--database dev_1 --qa-debug-level 1 </dev/null >& descMetaData.log &
        
        
		
		
Test Validation:
		When test has completed, check the end for all passes and no unexpected failures.
        e.g.
