- To run the Sync Tool, open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the Sync Tool is located
To display the help for the Sync Tool, run
Code Block java -jar duracloudsync-{version}.jar --helpWhen running the Sync Tool for the first time, you will need to use these options:
Short Option
Long Option
Argument Expected
Required
Description
Default Value (if optional)
-h
--host
Yes
Yes
The host address of the DuraCloud DuraStore application
-r
--port
Yes
No
The port of the DuraCloud DuraStore application
443
-i
--store-id
Yes
No
The Store ID for the DuraCloud storage provider
The primary storage provider is used
-s
--space-id
Yes
Yes
The ID of the DuraCloud space where content will be stored
-u
--username
Yes
Yes
The username necessary to perform writes to DuraStore
-p
--password
Yes
No
The password necessary to perform writes to DuraStore. If not specified the sync tool will first check to see if an environment variable named "DURACLOUD_PASSWORD" exists, if it does exist the sync tool will use its value as the password, otherwise you will be prompted to enter the password. Please note that when using the environment variable or the -p parameter you must escape your password according the conventions of your commandline shell. For example, if If you're using bash for example, any dollar ($) or backslash (\) chars must be escaped with a backslash. So the password p$ssw\rd would need to be entered as p\$ssw\\rd. There are many other special characters that need to be escaped. Here is a complete list of bash special characters for your reference.
Not set
-c
--content-dirs
Yes
Yes
A list of the directory paths to monitor and sync with DuraCloud. If multiple directories are included in this list, they should be separated by a space.
-j --jump-start No No This option indicates that the sync tool should not attempt to check if content to be synchronized is already in DuraCloud, but should instead transfer all content. This option is best used for new data sets. Not set -a --prefix Yes No A prefix to be added to the content IDs of all files in the content directories as they are added to DuraCloud. The same prefix applies to all files in all content directories. For example, if a content directory is C:/users/bob/pictures with one file in it, C:/users/bob/pictures/001.jpg, and the prefix value is "bobs-pictures/", the file would be given a DuraCloud content ID of bobs-pictures/001.jpg. Note that the name of the content directory is not included in the path, so if you would like for it to appear as part of the content ID, you will need to include it in the prefix. Also note that the prefix does not need to be a directory name, it can be any value. If, however, you would like for it to appear as a directory path, do not forget to end the prefix with a "/" character. Not set -w
--work-dir
Yes
No
The state of the sync tool is persisted to this directory. If not specified, this value will default to a directory named duracloud-sync-work in the user's home directory.
duracloud-sync-work
-f
--poll-frequency
Yes
No
The time (in ms) to wait between each poll of the sync-dirs
10000 (10 seconds)
-t
--threads
Yes
No
The number of threads in the pool used to manage file transfers
3
-m
--max-file-size
Yes
No
The maximum size of a stored file in GB (value must be between 1 and 5), larger files will be split into pieces
1
-n --rename-updates <suffix>
No No <suffix> indicates that updates should be synced to the cloud and renamed. Specify an optional suffix to override default ( ".orig"). To prevent updates altogether, see option -o. (Note that this option cannot be used together with either the -o or the -d options.)
-o --no-update No No Indicate that changed files should not be updated. In order to perform updates without overwriting, see option -n.
-d
--sync-deletes
No
No

Not set
-x
--exit-on-completion
No
No
Indicates that the sync tool should exit once it has completed a scan of the content directories and synced all files; if this option is included, the sync tool will not continue to
monitor the content dirsNot set
-l
--clean-start
No
No
Indicates that the sync tool should perform a clean start, ensuring that all files in all content directories are checked against DuraCloud, even if those files have not changed locally since the last run of the sync tool
Not set
-e --exclude Yes No The full path to a file which specifies a set of exclusion rules. The purpose of the exclusion rules is to indicate that certain files or directories should not be transferred to DuraCloud. The rules must be listed one per line in the file. The rules will match only on the name of a file or directory, not an entire path, so path separators should not be included in rules. Rules are not case sensitive (so a rule "test.log" will match a file "test.LOG"). The rules may include wildcard characters ? and *. The ? matches a single character, while * matches 0 or more characters.
Examples of valid rules:
test.txt : Will match a file named "test.txt"
test : Will match a file or directory named "test"
test.* : Will match files like "test.jpg", "test.txt", "test.doc", etc
*.log : Will match files named "test.log" or "daily-01-01-2050.log" as well as a directory named ".log"
backup-19?? : Will match a directory named "backup-1999" but not "backup-190000" or "backup-2000"Not set
