Can't list when the upload was done with another tool

[michelpereira]

Hi.
I've upload all my data using FastGlacier and I can't get an archive list using glacier-cli, I'm using the same access key id and access secret.

Everything goes OK when I create a new vault using glacier-cli and upload files using the command line.

What more information can I give to you?

Hi,

Due to the way Amazon Glacier works, the only way that a different program can pick up the contents of a vault uploaded to by another tool is to do an inventory retrieval, which is a slow operation (~4 hours). Further, the inventory is only updated by Amazon infrequently (every 24 hours if the vault has changed I think).

So the only way to get a different tool to pick up changes is to wait a couple of days and then have the tool retrieve the latest inventory and update its cache with the results.

In glacier-cli you can do this with the vault sync command.

Note that this is as a result of Amazon Glacier's design, not due to the implementation of any particular tool.

Since it sounds like glacier-cli is working as designed, I'll close this issue. If you find a bug operating vault sync, please file another issue. Note that issue #5 affects the vault sync command since inventories are lazily generated contrary to Amazon's documentation. I hope to fix this soon.

I've done new tests and it's not working, the job is created but I can't get the data. How can I contribute with more information regarding this issue?
