general ComplexType |
|
|
dataSetPeriod | string | By default the daily data sets are created. It also possible to create monthly data sets. For operational purposes it is recommend to use daily data sets. For migrating data from other systems to the FEWS archive it might be convenient to export the data in montly data sets. |
archiveFolder | string | Export destination folder, assumes that the account running the FEWS (FSS) application has write access |
relativePeriod |
| Exports entire the dataset by day. |
idMap | string | idMap applied to translate internal FEWS identifiers to identifiers that meet NetCDF-CF criteria.E.g. netcdf does not allow a full stop ('.') in the variable name. netcdf does not allow a full stop ('.') in the variable name |
ignoreNonExistingLocationSets | bool | If this option is set FEWS will not log an error when an location set is not configured. |
verifyExportedTimeSeries | bool | if this option is set FEWS will verify if data in the exported netcdf is the same as in the FEWS database. |
netcdfObservedExportActivities ComplexType |
|
|
fileName | string | without nc extension, preferably no spaces |
areaId | string | area to which the dataset belongs |
sourceId | string | defines the source of the data set |
ncMetaData | string elem. | optional metadata tags within NetCDF file following CF convention. Supported by the internal catalogue of the THREDDS Data Server |
includeFlags | bool | default=TRUE; if TRUE, a list of flags is stored, each value pointing to the associated flag |
includeTimeSeriesProperties | bool | default=TRUE, if TRUE the properties of the time series will also be stored in the NetCDF file. |
includeComments | bool | default=TRUE; if TRUE, a list of comments is stored, each value pointing to the associated comment |
thresholdGroupId | string | identifies FEWS ThresholdGroup which is used to detect threshold crossings to be highlighted in the metaData.xml |
timeSeriesSets |
| FEWS timeseries sets |
*When an existing file is locked while it needs to be overwritten, the export function writes a new temporary file. The FileSweeper, a scheduled process, renames this file when the lock is removed from the original file.
