DES (Data Exchange Server) documentation
The DES software, implemented entirely by authors at the Center for Sensing Solutions at Eurac research, is a stand-alone application that enables a concurrent execution of configurable Task Plugins and enables Data transfers to different systems by means of a set of Processor definitions in XML format. It has been primarily developed to fit the requirements of the Eurac satellite receiving station processing chain and Data Infrastructure where big amounts of data are processed and transferred from system to system or delivered to some end users. The DES implements a concurrent, multi-threaded and platform independent mechanism to execute configurable Tasks or Jobs implemented in form of dedicated plug-ins or scripts, and enables data transfers using different standard protocols like HTTP, SFTP, FTP, SSH. However, the DES may be seen as a general, multi-tasking application to implement data management and processing workflows. The main concept behind the DES is that data is organized in a hierarchical structure that reflects a predefined scheme and that Events or Tasks are data driven and can be triggered by files.
