Major changes#

  • iscached accepts search ids and resource ids and got the flags -v and -vv for verbose output

  • group_files_by_tape got many new input parameters: * JSON output: --json and --json-pretty * verbose mode: -v and -vv * use search query as input --search-query '<search_query>' * searches for more than one tape: --set-max-tape-number-per-search <N> / --smtnps <N> * --count-tapes * --full * --details

Changes that might break established workflows#

  • resource_type and resource_permissions: expect a resource path by default xor a resource id via --resource-id

  • group_files_by_tape: width of status in normal text output (value in brackets) increased by one

  • please use resource_path instead of resourcepath; the latter might be deprecated and removed in future

All fixes and new features#

  • general: * minor bugfixes in the error output messages * properly exit when wrong parameters are provided (in some situations) * new flag --help <command> to print the help for a specific command; e.g. slk_helpers --help mkdir will print the help for mkdir * new hidden flag --pid will print the Linux process id of the Java virtual machine * no command help is printed when a command is used the wrong way * fixed: commands which expect a list of Strings did not recognize wrong parameters but interpreted them as items of the list

  • checksum: did not work after update to 1.8.1

  • iscached: * fixed a bug which caused iscached not to work properly in 1.8.2 * also accepts search ids (via flag --search-id) and resource ids (via flag --resource-id) in addition to resource paths and resource ids * got the flags -v and -vv for verbose and double verbose mode, respectively

  • resource_type and resource_permissions: expect a resource path by default xor a resource id via --resource-id

  • size: accepts resource ids (via flag --resource-id) in addition to resource paths

  • group_files_by_tape * new flags --json and --json-pretty to print output as JSON * new flags -v (same as --print-progress) and -vv for verbose and double-verbose output, respectively * new parameter --search-query '<search_query>' * new parameter --set-max-tape-number-per-search <N> / --smtnps <N> which causes the searches to be run not for one tape but for a maximum of N tapes – only if less than 50 files are to be retrieved per search and only for N <= 2 * internal searches are performed differently; partly more efficient * width of status in normal text output (value in brackets) increased by one * minor bug fixes

  • gen_file_query * --not-cached (currently not working) and --tape-barcodes TAPE1,TAPE2,... * minor bug fixes
