 The python interaction with the LTA catalog can be complemented with the use of a specific module developed to give users more control over their staging requests. The python interaction with the LTA catalog can be complemented with the use of a specific module developed to give users more control over their staging requests.
  
-Current released version 2.0 ([[https://git.astron.nl/astron-sdc/lofar_stager_api|master branch]]) is to be used with the new LTA stager (stageit), it is not backwards compatible with the old LTA stager. Older versions of this script (i.e., 1.7 and older) have become obsolete.

 Also note that some functions are not supported in the new LTA stager. The states that a request can be in have been simplified. As such, there is no need for these functions anymore. Upon use, they will display an error stating that the function is deprecated. Please look at the ''stager_access.py''  file for more information. Also note that some functions are not supported in the new LTA stager. The states that a request can be in have been simplified.

 +==== Functionality ====
 +
 +For a description of what the user can do, we list here the functions that are available.
 +
 +**stage(surls)** \\ It takes in a list of surls, queues a staging request for those urls, and outputs the ID of the request.
 +
 +**get_status(stageid)** \\ It tells the user if a request is queued, in progress or finished (success). Possible statuses: "new", "scheduled", "in progress", "aborted", "failed", "partial success", "success", "on hold"
 +
 +**abort(stageid)** \\ It allows users to end a staging request.
 +
 +**get_surls_online(stageid)** \\ It gives a list of the surls that have been staged for the relative request. The list is updated whenever a new surl comes on line.
 +
 +**get_srm_token(stageid)** \\ The srm token is useful to interact directly with the SRM site through GRID/SRM tools.
 +
 +**reschedule(stageid)** \\ If a request failed, it can be rescheduled.
 +
 +**get_progress()** \\ No input needed. It returns the statuses of all the requests owned by the user.
 +
 +Below is an example of how to use this:
