Python scripts configuration

• b2safe_neo4j.conf_template is a template for the configuration file of the main script b2safe_neo4j_client.py prefilled with default values. So it needs to be duplicated and/or renamed to b2safe_neo4j.conf before filling it out with the setup specific information. It consists of 4 parts:
  • Logging - with 2 values needed to be specified: log level, default is log_level=DEBUG, and the file where to safe the logging information, dafault values is log_file=log/b2safe_neo4j.log, so in a file named b2safe_neo4j.log in folder log under the installatioin path.
  • GraphDB - connection information of the neo4j instance: http address of the neo4j browser address=localhost:7474 and the data of the connection user, so the username= and password=. The last configuration point path specifies the last part of the URI needed for the graph creation in the neo4j instance. The default suggested from the neo4j is /db/data, so the graph will be created under http://localhost:7474/db/data/.
  • MessageSystem - connection information of the messaging system like ARGO system: access token and the URL of the endpoint, as well as the size of the buffer and under which subscription of the messaging system to look for the messages for the metadata component of the B2SAFE, e.g. subscription=B2SAFE_NOTIFY.
  • iRODS - connection information of the iRODS instance: the name of the iRODS zone like zone_name=cinecaDMPZone and the endpoint consisting of the host_name:port information like zone_ep=dmp1.novalocal:1247 and the information about the iRODS resources to be used as well as the logical home directory in iRODS like irods_home_dir=/cinecaDMPZone/home.
