Endpoints and Collections

1. Overview

Endpoints and Collections are entities in Transfer that represent part of a Globus Connect Server or Globus Connect Personal installation. They are identified by a globally unique id, and collections provide access to data on their underlying filesystem either through synchronous File Operations or asynchronous Task Submission.

Globus Connect Server endpoints and collections are read only in Transfer, and can be managed by the Globus Connect Server Manager API.

Globus Connect Personal collections are managed by the Transfer API, see the Globus Connect Personal Management Document.

For information on how roles delegating aspects of the endpoint’s administration to other users, and operations for managing them on Globus Connect Personal endpoints, see Roles.

For managing Access to guest collections (including Globus Connect Server guest collections), see: Guest Collection Permission Management

For searching endpoints and collections by name or other categories, see Endpoint and Collection Search.

1.1. Subscribed Endpoints and Collections

Premium features, such as creating guest collections and using the Advanced Collection Management resources, require a Globus subscription.

Users must be members of a Globus subscription group to associate a subscription with an endpoint or collection. Subscription group managers and administrators do not need to have any effective roles on an entity to associate or dissociate it with their subscription, but the entity must either be unsubscribed or already under a subscription they manage to make changes. Endpoint or collection administrators may associate the entity with any subscription they have a subscription group membership for regardless of the entity’s current subscribed status.

For Globus Connect Server, the subscription is associated with the endpoint using the Globus Connect Server Manager API.

For Globus Connect Personal, the subscription is associated with the mapped collection using the Transfer API. The associate a collection with a subscription resource can be used by both collection administrators and subscription managers to associate a Globus Connect Personal mapped collection with a subscription. Collection administrators may also use a collection update with a subscription_id set in the collection document.

Guest collections and Globus Connect Server mapped collections cannot have a subscription associated with them directly, but will inherit the value and premium behaviors from their parent entities.

2. Document Types

2.1. Endpoint or Collection Document

The endpoint or collection document (DATA_TYPE of "endpoint"[1]) represents a single transfer endpoint or collection definition and is returned by both endpoint and collection search and get endpoint or collection by id.

2.1.1. Entity Types

Since the same document is returned for all kinds of Globus Connect Server and Globus Connect Personal endpoints and collections, the entity_type field is used to determine which of those entities the document refers to.

GCP_mapped_collection

These entities represent top level installs of Globus Connect Personal. They are managed in Transfer and do not require additional consent for data access. The gcp_connected field can be used to determine if the Globus Connect Personal client is currently running and connected to Globus.

GCP_guest_collection

This category is made up of guest collections created to share data from a Globus Connect Personal mapped collection. Their host_endpoint_id[1] will be non null and set to the Globus Connect Personal mapped collection. Like Globus Connect Server v5 guest collections access is controlled by permissions created in Transfer.

GCSv5_endpoint

These entities are the top level installation of a Globus Connect Server v5 used for administration and configuration across the installation. They cannot be used for data access, and as such will have non_functional set to "true".

GCSv5_mapped_collection

These entities are used for accessing data via mapping Globus Auth identities to local accounts. They will have a non null non_functional_endpoint_id that refers to their host endpoint. All Globus Connect Server v5 mapped collections will have an authentication_timeout_mins set, and if the high_assurance field is set to "false", then the mapped collection will require a data_access consent before it may be accessed.

GCSv5_guest_collection

Globus Connect Server v5 guest collections are created off a Globus Connect Server v5 mapped collection and are used for sharing access with Globus Auth identities that do not have mappings to local accounts. They will have both a non null non_functional_endpoint_id that refers to their Globus Connect Server v5 host endpoints, and a non null mapped_collection_id that refers to the mapped collection they provide access to. Like Globus Connect Personal guest collections access is controlled by permissions created in Transfer.

GCSv4_host and GCSv4_share

These entity types are no longer supported by the Transfer API.

[DEPRECATED] Use display_name instead.

network_use

string

Level of concurrency and parallelism to be used for transfer performance.

This setting is adjustable only for subscribed entities. For Globus Connect Personal mapped collections, the setting may be specified through the Globus Web App. For Globus Connect Server, the setting may be specified for an endpoint or a storage gateway through the Globus Connect Server command line interface or manager API. Settings specified on a storage gateway will be inherited by its mapped collections, overriding the settings specified on the parent endpoint.

For unsubscribed entities the "normal" level will be automatically used. This field will be null for guest collections as they inherit the network use setting for their parent mapped collections.

Allowed values for network_use are:

"normal"

The default setting. Uses an average level of concurrency and parallelism. The levels depend on the number of DTNs.

"minimal"

Uses a minimal level of concurrency and parallelism.

"aggressive"

Uses a high level of concurrency and parallelism.

This value can only be set on Globus Connect Personal mapped collections using the Transfer API. Globus Connect Server v5 endpoints use the Globus Connect Server Manager API to set their subscription_id. Child entities inherit the field from their parents.

If you only have access to one subscription id, you can PUT with the special string "DEFAULT" to use that subscription id.

tlsftp_server

string

For Globus Connect Server v5 collections, the url for the tlsftp server used for data access. Will be in the form of "tlsftp://{collection_domain}:{port}". null for other entity types.

user_message

user_message_link

string

Link to additional messaging for clients to display to users when interacting with this entity. ASCII string with an http or https URL. Basic checking is done to make sure this is a valid URL, but the administrator is responsible for running a website at this URL and verifying that it’s accepting public connections. This value can only be set on endpoints and Globus Connect Personal mapped collections, but will be inherited by child collections under them.

username

string

[DEPRECATED] Use owner_id and owner_string instead.
Note
