Globus Preview
Globus Preview hosts the latest Globus features before they go live on production servers. For Globus Portal Framework, it can be a great way to test new search features before they are publicly available.
You can read more about Globus Preview here.
Enabling Globus Preview is done through the Globus SDK. See here for how the Globus SDK supports environments, but in general you will want to set the following:
export GLOBUS_SDK_ENVIRONMENT=preview
python manage.py runserver
Next, run through the checklist below to make sure everything is switched over to "preview" service config values. Check that:
- Developer Keys have been swapped
- Groups have been changed
- Services/Scopes that don't support preview are disabled
Note, that switching to preview will not automatically purge the database of existing users or sessions. If you are logged in on your local test-box before switching, Globus Portal Framework will attempt to send Globus Production tokens to Globus Preview servers, resulting in many 401 UNAUTHORIZED messages. For these reasons, you should never deploy services that switch between environments.
