Introduction
The format of data transferred between a regional and central GOCDB instance is documented here. This will be a single XML document containing all objects that have been inserted, updated or deleted.
Example
This example shows a single site being synchronised. This site is either new or to be updated (operation=update).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gocdb_data>
<site scope="EGI" operation="Update">
<primary_key>4839G3</primary_key>
<short_name>RAL-LCG2</short_name>
<description>STFC, e-Science, RAL</description>
<country>UK</country>
<ngi>UKI</ngi>
<timezone>GMT</timezone>
<certification_status>certified</certification_status>
<production_status>production</production_status>
<domain>rl.ac.uk</domain>
</site>
</gocdb_data>
Example 2
This example shows both a service endpoint and a downtime being synchronised.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gocdb_data>
<service_endpoint scope="EGI" operation="Update">
<primary_key>449G3</primary_key>
<hostname>test.host.com</hostname>
<service_type>APEL</service_type>
<ip>10.0.0.1</
<site>RAL-LCG2</site>
</service_endpoint>
<user scope="EGI" operation="Update">
</user>
</gocdb_data>
