db_add_file_to_db#

Summary#

This application adds a file to a DB.

The name and location of the file are required. This application should complement the ones for updating parameters, adding entries to the DB and getting files from the DB.

Command line arguments#

file_name (str or list of str, required): Name of the file to upload including the full path. A list of files is also allowed, in which case only one -file_name is necessary, i.e., python applications/db_add_file_to_db.py -file_name file_1.dat file_2.dat file_3.dat If no path is given, the file is assumed to be in the CWD.
input_path (str, required if file_name is not given): A directory with files to upload to the DB. All files in the directory with a predefined list of extensions will be uploaded.
db (str): The DB to insert the files to. The choices are either the default CTA simulation DB or a sandbox for testing.
