Retrieve the GMD server catalog and initialize an acquisition inventory

Loads the authoritative server catalog for the seven recognized modules and .dta files, then builds the local acquisition inventory. On a first run the inventory contains the five active download modules as unavailable; current "ASPIRE" and "L" rows are retained only when a prior inventory already records them as available. Obsolete rows and superseded checksums are removed.

Usage

dlw_gmd_list(inv_gmd_list = "dlw_gmd_inv")

Arguments

inv_gmd_list

Character scalar. Acquisition inventory artifact ID. This ID controls loading, comparison, and persistence.

Value

Invisibly, a copy of the verified durable acquisition data.table.

Details

The write uses inv_gmd_list consistently. Any thrown, null-version, or malformed write result is treated as uncertain and reconciled by reloading durable state; the function aborts unless the intended inventory is verified.

Note

This function expects a working release to be configured via pipfun::setup_working_release(). When called from pipdata_get_gmd(), the release is already set. When called standalone, ensure setup_working_release() has been invoked first.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
pipfun::setup_working_release("20260206", "TEST")
gmd_list <- dlw_gmd_list()
head(gmd_list)
} # }
