Hi, The globus actors have to be used in a particular sequence, which is demonstrated in the test workflow "workflows/test/nmiworkflow-example.xml". This file is only available in the development version of Kepler, not in the beta releases. (You can also get it fro the web here: http://cvs.ecoinformatics.org/cvs/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/kepler/workflows/test/nmiworkflow-example.xml?content-type=text/plain
If you open that file, you'll see that the Globus proxy actor is connected to the globus job actor and the grid ftp actor (and provides the proxy credentials). You have to configure the proxy actor to provide your proxy certificate information, which has to be locally available on the local host (in the configuraiton dialog, it asks you to browse to your cert files). The proxy actor output is connected to the input string of the globus actor (providing the proxy certificate). One caveat is that I am not sure if these actors are working at all. There are new versions of the globus libraries and I'm not sure what version is being used here -- if it works for you I'd really like to know about it. Thanks.
