I would start out by checking out Apache OODT RADIX: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OODT/RADiX+Powered+By+OODT That will automatically install a full stack of OODT for you and give you an idea how to organize OODT and the files and workflows and elements. Then keep asking questions and we’ll help. You may also want to check out some user guides e.g., the File Manager one is a start: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OODT/OODT+Filemgr+User+Guide Keep the questions coming!
