Root configuration files

Root configuration files define the behaviour of DELFT-FEWS on the local machine. These files are synchronised in the live system environment, nor are they available in the database. The files must be installed locally with the DELFT-FEWS system.

clientConfig

The clientConfig File determines if the instance of DELFT-FEWS is to run as a stand alone system, or if it is to connect to the master controllers defined below.
Since 2011.01 the clientConfig file is no longer required for stand alone. Stand alone is the default when the client config is missing

Elements of the clientConfig configuration

clientType

Definition of the client type. Enumeration of options includes;

• Operator Client
• Stand Alone

logging

Since 2014.01 it is possible to send errors from the OC/FSS/standalone client to the windows or linux event log. This option is not enabled by default.

synchConfig

Looks something like this for an OC:

...

The only setting that may demand editting is the <login timeout="10" />, which controls the timeout for a login attempt of the OC on the MC (in seconds). (This element may be absent, in which case the timeout is 10secs)
It may be needed to extend this timeout if the JMS server is very busy (very many clients starting up and synchronising at the same time, e.g. when all the PCs for a workshop are all starting up at the same time).
Note: the xml config can only extend the time out from the default 10 secs. Settings less than 10 secs are ignored)

Working with pool of localDataStores (under Citrix)

A standard installation will have to be adjusted to work well in a Citrix environment. It is possible to keep your own localDatastore folder, which is then stored on your personal home directory on the Citrix server or the localDatastore can be stored centrally on the hard drive of the citrix server, in what we call a pool directory. This pool can currently exist of a maximum of 11 users at the same time (hard coded). In this case 11 localdatastore folders are created in de pooldirectory.

...

   3. in the file \<name of application root directory>\citrix_global.properties the following line will have to be added: localDataStorePoolDir=[C:\FewsLocalDataStores]
     with an extra line after this line. Please also be aware that the localDataStorePoolDir is case sensitive. Obviously you can determine yourselves where this pooldir is located.

Global.properties file

User_Settings.ini

The user_settings.ini file is a root configuration file which stores personal preferences of the user (SA and OC) like the available (un)docked windows, GUI colors etc.
