### Background
<!-- TOC -->

Rawdata or Project folders from Biowulf can be parked at a secure location after the analysis has reached a endpoint. Traditionally, CCBR analysts had access to the GridFTP Globus Archive for doing this. But, this Globus Archive has been running past 95% full lately.

This document outlines how a projects folder can be directly parked on HPCDME as a single "tar.gz" ball. It is assumed that HPC DME API CLUs are already setup as per [these](https://ccbr.github.io/HowTos/HPCDME/setup/) instructions.
<!-- /TOC -->

Here are the steps:
### 1. <a name='Background'></a>Background

#### Create tarball
Rawdata or Project folders from Biowulf can be parked at a secure location after the analysis has reached an endpoint. Traditionally, CCBR analysts have been using GridFTP Globus Archive for doing this. But, this Globus Archive has been running relatively full lately and it is hard to estimate how much space is left there as the volume is shared among multiple groups.

Once you have a list of files that you want to include in the tarball, create the tarball. This may take a while and should be submitted as a slurm job.
### 2. <a name='parkit'></a>parkit

```bash
% cd /data/CCBR/projects
% du -hs /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796
440G /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796
% echo "tar czvf ccbr796.tar.gz /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796" > do_tar_gz
% swarm -f do_tar_gz --partition=ccr,norm --time=24:00:00 -t 2 -g 100

```
[**parkit**](https://github.com/CCBR/parkit) is designed to assist analysts in archiving project data from the NIH's Biowulf/Helix systems to the HPC-DME storage platform. It provides functionalities to package and store data such as raw FastQ files or processed data from bioinformatics pipelines. Users can automatically:
- create tarballs of their data (including `.filelist` and `.md5sum` files),
- generate metadata,
- create collections on HPC-DME, and
- deposit tar files into the system for long-term storage.
**parkit** also features comprehensive workflows that support both folder-based and tarball-based archiving. These workflows are integrated with the SLURM job scheduler, enabling efficient execution of archival tasks on the Biowulf HPC cluster. This integration ensures that bioinformatics project data is securely archived and well-organized, allowing for seamless long-term storage.

#### Create filelist
> :exclamation: **NOTE**: HPC DME API CLUs should already be setup as per [these](https://ccbr.github.io/HowTos/HPCDME/setup/) instructions in order to use **parkit**
Sometime you just want to know what files are in the tarball. Hence, it is important to upload a filelist along with the tarball.
> :exclamation: **NOTE**: `HPC_DM_UTILS` environment variable should be set to point to the `utils` folder under the `HPC_DME_APIs` repo setup. Please see [these](https://ccbr.github.io/HowTos/HPCDME/setup/#edit-bashrc) instructions.
```bash
% tar tzvf ccbr796.tar.gz > ccbr796.tar.gz.filelist
```
[`parkit_folder2hpcdme`](https://github.com/CCBR/parkit/blob/master/README.md#parkit_folder2hpcdme) is the preferred **parkit** command to completely archive an entire folder as a tarball on HPCDME using SLURM.

#### Create Project
#### 2.1. <a name='parkit_folder2hpcdmeusage'></a>`parkit_folder2hpcdme` usage

If the Project collection does not exist in HPCDME (verify using the web interface), then you may need to create it.
```bash
parkit_folder2hpcdme --help

#### Create Analysis
#### 2.2. <a name='parkit_folder2hpcdmetest'></a>`parkit_folder2hpcdme` testing
If the Analysis collection does not exist in HPCDME (verify using the web interface) under the Project collection, then you may need to create it.
##### get dummy data
```bash
% cd /data/kopardevn/SandBox/parkit
% bash create_empty_analysis_collection.sh /CCBR_Archive/GRIDFTP/Project_CCBR-796/Analysis
dm_register_collection /dev/shm/Analysis.metadata.json /CCBR_Archive/GRIDFTP/Project_CCBR-796/Analysis
# make a tmp folder
mkdir -p /data/$USER/parkit_tmp
# copy dummy project folder into the tmp folder
cp -r /data/CCBR/projects/CCBR-12345 /data/$USER/parkit_tmp/CCBR-12345-$USER
# check if HPC_DM_UTILS has been set
echo $HPC_DM_UTILS
```
Done! Now you have a location ready for the the tarball to be parked.

#### Create metadata

Using `meta` script from [`pyrkit`](https://github.com/CCBR/pyrkit), we can then generate the required `.metadata.json` file for the tarball. Analysis collection `/CCBR_Archive/GRIDFTP/Project_CCBR-796/Analysis` should already exist in the HPCDME vault.
##### load conda env
```bash
% echo "/data/kopardevn/SandBox/pyrkit/src/meta combined --input /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796.tar.gz --output /CCBR_Archive/GRIDFTP/Project_CCBR-796/Analysis" > do_get_metadata
% swarm -f do_get_metadata --partition=ccr,norm --time=24:00:00 -t 2 -g 100
# source conda
. "/data/CCBR_Pipeliner/db/PipeDB/Conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
# activate parkit or parkit_dev environment
conda activate parkit
# check version of parkit
parkit --version
```
If the file is large (100s of GB), then this may take a while as the md5sum of the file is being calculated. Hence, this should be submitted to the slurm.

Metadata also needs to be created for the filelist file. These files are generally small (few MBs) and the following command can be directly run on an interactive node.
<details>
<summary></summary>
```bash
% /data/kopardevn/SandBox/pyrkit/src/meta combined --input /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796.tar.gz.filelist --output /CCBR_Archive/GRIDFTP/Project_CCBR-796/Analysis
v2.0.2-dev
```
</details>
The above command, when run sucessfully, will create `/data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796.tar.gz.filelist.metadata.json`
##### run `parkit_folder2hpcdme`
#### Transfer
```bash
parkit_folder2hpcdme --folder /data/$USER/parkit_tmp/CCBR-12345-$USER --dest /CCBR_Archive/GRIDFTP/Project_CCBR-12345-$USER --projectdesc "some_description" --projecttitle "some_title" --makereadme --hpcdmutilspath $HPC_DM_UTILS --executor local
````

`dm_register_dataobject` cannot be used for large files (>10GB), but it can be replaced by `dm_register_dataobject_multipart`
<details>
<summary></summary>

```bash
% dm_register_dataobject_multipart /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796.tar.gz.metadata.json /CCBR_Archive/GRIDFTP/Project_CCBR-796/Analysis/ccbr796.tar.gz /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796.tar.gz

```

Depending on the size of the file, this step can be done in a reasonable amount of time (<1hr) and can be run in an interactive node.
</details>

Remember, the filelist file also needs to be registered separately like this:
> :exclamation: **NOTE**: change `--executor local` to `--executor slurm` when submitting to SLURM

```bash
% dm_register_dataobject /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796.tar.gz.filelist.metadata.json /CCBR_Archive/GRIDFTP/Project_CCBR-796/Analysis/ccbr796.tar.gz.filelist /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796.tar.gz.filelist
```
> :exclamation: **NOTE**: add `--rawdata` when folder contains raw fastqs

As filelist files are smaller (few MBs), we can run `dm_register_dataobject` in place of `dm_register_dataobject_multipart`.
##### verify transfer

#### Cleanup
Transfer can be verified by logging into [HPC DME web interface](https://hpcdmeweb.nci.nih.gov/browse?base).

Once the tarball is successfully transferred over the HPCDME, it can be deleted from the local filesystem.
![alt text](verification.png)

```bash
% rm -f /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796.tar.gz
```
##### cleanup

The contents of the local analysis folder can also be deleted.
Delete unwanted collection from HPC DME.

```bash
% cd /data/CCBR/projects/ccbr796 && rm -rf *
# load java
module load java
# delete collection recursively
dm_delete_collection -r /CCBR_Archive/GRIDFTP/Project_CCBR-12345-$USER
```

A note can be added to the recently emptied folder stating where the contents are currently parked.

Done!

> **NOTE FOR LARGE FILES**: It is recommended by HPCDME staff that files to be transferred should not be too large (1TB or smaller). Hence, if the file to be transferred is larger than 1TB, it should be split into 1TB-size chunks and upload those.

> ```bash
> split -b 1T ccbr796.tar.gz "ccbr796.tar.gz.part_"

> ...
> ```
> Once these files are downloaded then can be joined together using the `cat` command before ungzipping/untaring.
> ```bash
> % cat ccbr796.tar.gz.part_* > ccbr796.tar.gz
> ```
