Globus v5 update completed

November 9, 2022

The Globus services CISL provides were updated to version 5 during the scheduled downtime on Monday and Tuesday. Endpoints including NCAR GLADE and NCAR Campaign Storage were converted to mapped collections and user-created shared endpoints are now guest collections.

Aside from the terminology difference, users should still be able to search the same names and use the same collection UUIDs as before. Those who have been using InCommon certificates for unattended workflows will need to migrate those workflows to use new guest collections. Guest collections can also be used to share data with external collaborators. Use of the NCAR Data Sharing Service is no longer necessary.
