Figure 1: Illustration of interaction between Data Interface Module (DiM) and Data Conversion Module (DCM).



Binaries

For FEWS versions 2018 and earlier The DCM has had a seperate separate bin folder and its own patches . They can be requested through FEWS Supportand was using the installed Java runtime version 1.8 (or earlier) These can still be requested through FEWS Support.

Starting with FEWS release 2019.02 rather then distributing a separate bin folder (which would need to include Java 11 runtime files) the choice was made to include DCM in the main FEWS distribution. The code of the data conversion module is now part of the main Delft_FEWS.jar and is run using the Delft-FEWSc.exe executable. The deliverable package for DCM that can be requested through FEWs support now contains a standalone configuration to use as a template for you project and a startup script (DataConversion.sh / DataConversion.bat) that you can use to start the DCM.

File structure of DCM after installation

Figure 2: Overview of directory structure after installation of the DCM.

After installation of the DCM your system will contain the following files (see Figure 2): 

  • bin bin                                  Directory containing a subset of the Delft-FEWS jars. Directory containing the FEWS distribution (2019.02 or newer)
  • DataConversion_SA     FEWS Region Home directory for the DCM (contains the XML-configuration files)
  • jre7                                Java Runtime Environment
  • DataConversion.bat bat       Script file needed to run DCM on a Windows machine
  • DataConversion.sh       Script file needed to run DCM on a Linux machine
  • lcp.bat                            Helper file for DataConversion.bat 

This is the complete set of files needed to run the DCM, the FEWS . In the directory DataConversion_SA one can find all configuration files of the DCM (see Figure 3). The DCM configuration is based upon the Delft-FEWS configuration; this implies that its configuration is distributed over several configuration files. All configuration files are written in XML format.
