The GDMP client-server software system is a generic file replication tool that replicates files securely and efficiently from one site to another in a Data Grid environment using several Globus Grid tools. In addition, it manages replica catalogue entries for file replicas and thus maintains a consistent view of names and locations of replicated files. All kinds of file formats are supported for file transfer and for Objectivity database files a particular plug in exists. All files are assumed to be read-only.

GDMP is a collaboration between the European DataGrid project (in particular the Data Management work package, Work Package 2 (WP2)) and the Particle Physics Data Grid Project (PPDG). GDMP part of the official DataGrid software system.
