Appendix C. Index Service Command Reference

1. End-user command line tools for WS MDS Index Service

The index service exposes information via service groups and is accessed using the same command-line tools used to query other WSRF services for information. These tools are part of Java WS Core.

A set of functionally equivalent tools exist written using WS C core. They tend to be faster alternatives to the above java programs.

2. Administrative command-line tools for WS MDS Index Service

The mds-servicegroup-add(1) command in the Aggregator Framework is used to configure the Index Service to query information from various sources.

The globus-index-add(1) command line tool is written using WS C and offers similar functionality to mds-servicegroup-add(1) with a few new options.
