gd_dbsetup

Creates and populates the .geodise directory with configuration files.

Syntax

gd_dbsetup

gd_dbsetup(hostprompt)

Description

gd_dbsetup creates a .geodise directory in the user’s home directory if one does not exist then copies the necessary configuration files into it. The user is prompted to configure the name of the Globus server and directory where gd_archive will store data files and this information is saved in .geodise/ClientConfig.xml.

Example locations for the .geodise directory are:

Windows	C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\.geodise
Linux	$HOME/.geodise

gd_dbsetup(0) creates a .geodise directory as above but does not prompt for the name of the Globus server and directory where gd_archive will store data files, using default values instead. The default settings are either taken from a previous copy of ClientConfig.xml in .geodise or from ClientConfig.xml in the distribution.

Notes

The file .geodise/ClientConfig.xml can be edited to manually configure settings such as which Globus file store to archive files on, see installation document for more information.
