ARCHIVED: About the College Archive Tool (Retired)

The College Archive Tool (CAT) was a web-based application designed to help Indiana University research projects archive Geode-Project directories and store those archives on the IU Scholarly Data Archive (SDA).

CAT file transfers were executed using Globus transfer nodes via GlobusAuth and GlobusTransfer APIs. Security was managed via SSH keys and GlobusAuth tokens were stored in an enterprise HashiCorp Vault instance. Transfer jobs were orchestrated via Apache Airflow, and metadata was preserved in a MySQL instance on the IU Research Database Complex (RDC).
