Rucio client and Rucio API

If the rucio (client or API) is used for file transfers, the pilot expects several rucio environment variables to be set.

  • RUCIO_LOCAL_SITE_ID: (e.g. "BNL-ATLAS-OPP"). In ATLAS this is set by the local setup which is sourced before the pilot starts
  • RUCIO_ACCOUNT: Typically this would be set to 'pilot' before the pilot starts
  • RUCIO_LATITUDE and RUCIO_LONGITUDE: Optional. Only set for VP sites

The pilot itself, sets RUCIO_LOGGING_FORMAT to '%(asctime)s %(levelname)s [%(message)s]'.

See the rucio client documentation for more details.
