NAME

       arc-infoindex-server - ARC Information Index Server

DESCRIPTION

       The  arc-infoindex-server  accepts registrations about local information systems and other arc-infoindex-
       servers creating an hierarcical information system for discovering Grid resources

SYNOPSIS

       arc-infoindex-relay -c conffile -f fifo

OPTIONS

       -c conffile
              The configuration file, usually /etc/arc.conf

       -f fifo
              The FIFO on which the server will accept queries

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       arc-infoindex-server accepts registrations with information about local  information  systems  and  other
       arc-infoindex-servers.  It also responds to status queries returning the list of registered resources and
       their registration status (valid, invalid or purged).

       Queries are accepted on a FIFO and are normally forwarded from a slapd server through  an  arc-infoindex-
       relay  process.  The first line of a query should contain the name of a FIFO on which the response should
       be returned. The remaining part of the query should be a Globus MDS query in LDIF format.

       To stop arc-infoindex-server write the special query "STOP" to the server FIFO.

FILES

       /etc/arc.conf
              Several resource  indices  can  be  kept  in  the  same  server.  Each  of  them  should  have  an
              [infosys/index]  block in the configuration file. The set of resoures that are allowed to register
              to each index can be limited using allowreg keys.

              Here is an example configuration:

              [infosys/index/Sweden]
              allowreg="*.uu.se:2135"
              allowreg="*.lu.se:2135"
              allowreg="*.liu.se:2135"
              allowreg="*.umu.se:2135"
              allowreg="*.chalmers.se:2135"
              allowreg="*.kth.se:2135"
