- force-online <prefix>
- Method to keep files with <prefix> online. The method should be called prior to ingesting any files with the prefix, to prevent them from being rolled out on tape.
- A call to the method may fail if the qouta for online files has been exceeded.
- In the future, a call to this method with a prefix for which files already is on tape may bring the files online.
- release-online <prefix>
- Method to release files with a prefix to be rolled out on tape.
- status-online
- Method to list which prefixes are kept online.
- May in the future provide more information of the online/offline state.
Additionally the contract is that if a force-online call fails (i.e. the online files qouta is exceeded), it will still be possible to ingest files in the bitrepository, they will however be rolled out on tape by the usual policy.
