Making Transfers

To issue a transfer between accounts, use the command gtransfer. If the allocation id is specified, then only credits associated with the specified allocation will be transferred, otherwise, only active credits will be transferred. Account transfers preserve the allocation time periods associated with the resource credits from the source to the destination accounts. If a one-to-one mapping exists between project and account, then the fromProject/toProject options may be used in place of the fromAccount/toAccount options.

gtransfer {—fromAccount source_account_id | —fromProject source_project_name | -i allocation_id} {—toAccount destination_account_id | —toProject destination_project_name} [-d description] [-h | —hours] [—debug] [-? | —help] [—man] [—quiet] [-v | —verbose] {[-z] amount}

Example 17. Transferring credits between two accounts

$ gtransfer --fromAccount 1 --toAccount 2 10000

Successfully transferred 10000 credits from account 1 to account 2

Example 18. Transferring credits between two single-account projects

$ gtransfer --fromProject biology --toProject chemistry 10000

Successfully transferred 10000 credits from account 1 to account 2
