## DESCRIPTION

**pegasus-sc-client** generates site catalog by querying sources like OSGMM, MYSOG, etc.

## OPTIONS

- **-D***property=value*

  The **-D** option allows an experienced user to override certain properties which influence the program execution, among them the default location of the user’s properties file and the **PEGASUS\_HOME** location. One may set several CLI properties by giving this option multiple times.

  The **-D** option(s) must be the first option on the command line. CLI properties take precedence over the file-based properties of the same key.

- **--source** *src*

  the source to query for site information. Valid sources are: OSGMM

- **-g** *grid*, **--grid** *grid*

  the grid for which to generate the site catalog information.

- **-o** *vo*, **--vo** *vo*

  The Virtual Organization (VO) to which the user belongs. The default VO is LIGO. The collector host should be set by default unless overridden by the property **pegasus.catalog.site.osgmm.collector.host** according to the following rules:

  • if VO is ligo then collector host queried is ligo-osgmm.renci.org

  • if VO is engage then collector host queried is engage-central.renci.org

  • for any other VO, engage-central.renci.org will be queried and in all the paths the name of the engage VO will be replaced with the name of the VO passed. e.g if user specifies the VO to be **cigi**, **engage** will be replaced by **cigi** in the directory paths.

- **-s** *scfile*, **--sc** *scfile*

  The path to the created site catalog file

- **-p** *propfile*, **--properties** *propfile*

  Generate a Pegasus properties file containing the SRM properties. The properties file is created only if **--source** is set to *OSGMM*.

- **-v**, **--verbose**

  Increases the verbosity of messages about what is going on.

- **-V**, **--version**

  Displays the current version of Pegasus.

- **-h**, **--help**

  Displays all the options to the **pegasus-sc-client** command.

## EXAMPLE

Runs **pegasus-sc-client** and generates the site catalog:

```
$ pegasus-sc-client --source OSGMM --sc osg-sites.xml --vo LIGO --grid OSG
```
