Introduction
The MDS4 Archive Service stores information about grid resources and allows that information to be queried by client tools. Information can be added to the archive via a number of different mechanisms: since the Archive Service is an aggregator service implemented using the Aggregator Framework, any aggregator source can be used to provide information for the archive.
This document describes the programmatic interfaces to the Archive Service. See also general Globus Toolkit coding guidelines and GT 4.1.3 best practices.
