How to add an upcoming Member Node¶
The upcoming node list appears on the MN Dashboard at www.dataone.org.
The upcoming nodes are retrieved directly from a static XML document located at:
which is in the member-node-info repository under /production/upcoming.
The static XML document is the same structure as the Node List that can be obtained from a Coordinating Node, but includes only nodes that are to be listed as upcoming.
To add a MN to the upcoming list, add another <node> ... </node> section by copying from the template in that folder. Fill in the field values, which should be available from the corresponding MN Deployment ticket, the fields for which are described in the MNDeployment ticket fields description document.
Keep in mind that this is an XML document, and care must be taken to ensure the resulting file is valid XML. Check with a command like:
curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DataONEorg/member-node-info/master/production/upcoming/upcoming.xml" | xml fo
Where xml is the command for the XMLStarlet application.
