ATLAS WebUI#

file version: 9 Jul 2026

Overview#

ATLAS is the main interface for interaction with the DKRZ tape archive. ATLAS can be accessed via a command line interface atlas and a WebGUI, whereas the CLI has a few more options.

URL: https://tapearchive.dkrz.de (available from calendar week 29 onwards)

Below is a screenshot of the web interface after login. This is the file browser view. On the left-hand side, you see a pane with “resources”, “favorites” and “navigation”. The latter contains the items “jobs”, which opens a “jobs view”, and “reports”, which opens an overview of your quota usage.

The Versity developers are still adapting the WebGUI to our needs and the configuration is not finalized at the time of writing this documentation. Therefore, locations and labels of buttons are due to changes.

Left Pane#

  • resources: Select a resource/storage to browse through. Later, the tape archive and /work will be available as resources.

  • favorites: Store favorite folders via drag-and-drop from the file browser view. Click a favorite to jump to the specific folder.

  • jobs: Opens jobs view. List active and finished jobs which ATLAS runs/ran for you. E.g. data transfers started by the copy button or by atlas cp are displayed here.

File Browser View#

If you are unsure what specific buttons mean, please have a look at Getting started

  • Upload: transfer one or multiple files from your local system where the web browser is opened to Versity

  • Download: transfer one or multiple files from Versity to your local system where the web browser is opened

  • New Folder: create new folder

  • Copy: copy files or directories between two locations onto which ATLAS has access; either duplication of a file within the HSM or a transfer between Lustre filesystem and HSM; a job is started in the background and WebGUI can be closed

  • Move: move files or directories between two locations within the HSM filesystem. It performs a real move when used with different filesystems. Please use copy instead for this purpose. A job is started in the background and WebGUI can be closed.

  • Delete: remove file or directory

  • Permissions: set normal permissions and extended ACLs

  • Retention: set retention period; within this period a file cannot be modified or deleted

  • Checksum: Calculate a checksum of a type the user selects

  • Stage: copy a file from tape to cache

  • Release: tell ScoutAM to remove the file from the cache during the next cache cleanup

  • Tags: view, set and/or remove user-defined key-value pairs

  • Show Hidden: toggle to show hidden files; these are files which names start with a dot .

Jobs View#

This view shows all active jobs and all past jobs of the previous week. You can cancel running jobs and purge the list.
