View source for Mbirn: BIRN SRB Usage

In order to utilize the SRB commands in your local environment check to see if there are any located locally.

== MGH ==

* At MGH the commands are in /usr/pubsw/bin

Example:

which Sinit

* /usr/pubsw/bin/Sinit

Sinit -v

* Using Port 5825.
* Client Release = SRB-3.2.0, API version = F.
* Server Release = SRB-3.2.0, API version = F.
* Client mcatZone = birnzone
* Server mcatZone = birnzone

Overall notes:

* Use Shelp to find the commands.
* Use 'man Shelp' to learn the help command and to find out other commands manual pages. Ex: 'man Sinit'

== MGH setup of the .srb environment ==

To access the SRB domain from the command line follow the www.nbirn.net suggestions once logged in at

* DataGrid [https://portal.nbirn.net/BIRN/cgi-bin/DataGrid/advanced.cgi [1]]

and

* Click on SRB settings at [https://portal.nbirn.net/BIRN/cgi-bin/settings/srb_settings.cgi [2]]

"NOTE: Create a directory .srb and the .MdasEnv file as they recommend.

The .MdasAuth file only needs your password and nothing else. It does not follow the same format at the .MdasEnv file."

== Initiating a session ==

Like telnet, ftp, http, etc the session must be initiated and closed when finished

 <nowiki>*Sinit will open the connection
 *Sexit will close the connection
 </nowiki>
