Abstract:

	This note describes how one may use the dCache product from within the
CDF Application Framework as a replacement for the CDF Disk Inventory Manager
(DIM) and stager components of the CDF Data Handling system using the
DHInputModules. This can be done on central CDF computing platforms (Linux and
IRIX), CDF desktops, and the CDF CAF. This note is also a brief introduction to
the dCache product, providing CDF-oriented examples of its different uses. This
note version has been updated for cdfsoft2 release 5.3.1 and root v3.05/07,
though most aspects are still applicable to earlier releases of cdfsoft2 and
root.
