Globus Toolkit 3.9.5: Migrating from GT3 to GT4

Introduction

This guide provides information for migrating from GT3 to GT 3.9.5.

Migrating to Globus Toolkit 3.9.5

The Belfast E-science Center has started publishing preliminary information from their experiences porting from 3.0.2 to 3.9.4. This is still a work-in-progress, but could be helpful until more formal information is published. The article is posted in the Globus Documentation Project (GDP).

Thanks to Terry Harmer and Julie McCabe for their contribution.
