5) Before you can upload the data you should press the "Check availability in catalog" button. After pressing the button the display will check for which periods the selected time series are already available in the archive. In addition it will check which time series are edited in the periods for which the data is already archived. In the example below there is already data available in the archive for a part of the selected period. The last selected time series also has 2 data edits in the period for which the data is already archived.
6) After step 5 the button "Upload to archive" will enabled. Note that when you change the selected time series the button will be unavailable again and that you should check the availability of the data again. When you press the button "Upload to archive" the selected time series will be uploaded to archive. For the periods for which the time series are not already archived to time series will be exported to netcdf and uploaded to the archive. For the periods for which the data is already archived only the edited values will be uploaded in pi-xml format to the archive. Both uploads are handled by the webservices of the archive. To insert the edited data into the archive a workflow in FEWS must be executed. To insert the newly added netcdf-files into the archive a task at the archive server must be executed. The upload process will determine automatically to which areas the time series belong. This area is determined by the value of a configured location attribute id. It is possible to configure more than one location attribute id. If a location belongs to multiple areas the new data will be added to all areas.
