Yep, I think bfost mentioned this, but the best way to take care of it here is two-fold: 1. Just use the InPlaceDataTransferer. It will neglect to transfer the product files (which is what you want since you don't have any) 2. Just pass dummy refs: fefs are only used for cataloging locations of products, and also passed to the data transferer to do with how it likes. If you use a transferer that doesn't bother to transfer, then you're fine there. Another option would be to use the StdProductCrawler (part of cas-crawler). It expects .met files (in CAS format) and will look for: Filename FileLocation ProductType To be set to ingest into the FM. If you're using InPlaceDataTransferer, then FileLocation can be a dummy value and it will still work. > The filemgr user's guide (ie. > http://oodt.apache.org/components/maven/filemgr/user/basic.html) documents > how to ingest a product file assuming you actually have the product on hand. > However, if I only want to ingest the metadata, how would I go about doing > this? See above. Good luck!
