Accomplishments
Segregated DKIST native clients - All native client applications were currently using a single globus client: DKIST Native Clients. We were unable to test changes to the globus client without impacting PROD. At a minimum three clients were required: SIM, STAGE and PROD. This was completed.
Fixed a bug where re-creation of dataset-inventory/asdf would put a second movie in vimeo orphaning the first. When re-creating dataset-inventory and asdf’s (which we do with updates to dkist-inventory) causes a movie to be published. With the movies being published to Vimeo, this re-publish activity will created a copy and an orphan (won’t be linked in dataset inventory) the old one.
