DESCRIPTION

       The tc-convert program is used to convert the transformation catalog from one format to another.

       Currently, the following formats of transformation catalog exist:

       Text
	   This is a easy to read multi line textual format.

	   A sample entry in this format looks as follows:

	       tr example::keg:1.0 {
		       site isi {
		       profile env "JAVA_HOME" "/bin/java.1.6"
		       pfn "/path/to/keg"
		       arch  "x86"
		       os    "linux"
		       osrelease "fc"
		       osversion "4"
		       type "installed"
		   }
	       }

       File
	   This is a tuple based format which contains 6 columns.

	       RESOURCE  LFN  PFN  TYPE  SYSINFO  PROFILES

	   A sample entry in this format looks as follows

	       isi  example::keg:1.0  /path/to/keg  INSTALLED  INTEL32::LINUX:fc_4:  env::JAVA_HOME="/bin/java.1.6"

       Database

OPTIONS

       -Dproperty=value
	   The -D option allows an experienced user to override certain properties which influence the program execution, among them the default
	   location of the user's properties file and the PEGASUS_HOME location. One may set several CLI properties by giving this option multiple
	   times.

	   The -D option(s) must be the first option on the command line. CLI properties take precedence over the file-based properties of the
	   same key.

       -I fmt, --iformat fmt
	   The input format of the input files. Valid values for the input format are: File, Text, and Database.

       -O fmt --oformat fmt The output format of the output file. Valid values for the output format are: File, Text, and Database.

       -i infile[,infile,...] --input infile[,infile,...] The comma separated list of input files that need to be converted to a file in the
       format specified by the --oformat option.

       -o outfile, --output outfile
	   The output file to which the output needs to be written out to.

   Other Options
       -N dbusername, --db-user-name dbusername
	   The database user name.

       -P dbpassword, --db-user-pwd dbpassword
	   The database user password.

       -U dburl, --db-url dburl
	   The database url.

       -H dbhost, --db-host dbhost
	   The database host.

       -v, --verbose
	   Increases the verbosity of messages about what is going on. By default, all FATAL ERROR, ERROR , CONSOLE and WARNINGS messages are
	   logged.

       -q, --quiet
	   Decreases the verbosity of messages about what is going on. By default, all FATAL ERROR, ERROR , CONSOLE and WARNINGS messages are
	   logged.

       -V, --version
	   Displays the current version number of the Pegasus Workflow Planner Software.

       -h, --help
