groupImportPattern

Since 2024.01 - Option to specify groups of files that need to be imported together. This can be useful for forecasts spread over several files which should be imported as one forecast i.e. a group of files, in particular if each file is added to the import folder at a different time.

The filenames must contain the forecast date and time. The pattern to define a group is specified in fileNameDateTimePattern, with the expected number of files for one forecast in numberOfFiles. The files will be imported only when all expected files are in the import folder. A time span also has to be specified in waitingTime to define when to consider the forecast as failed and move it to the failed folder. If more than the waiting time has passed between the forecast time and T0, the forecast is considered failed and the files are moved to the failed folder.

For example, for the following configuration:

<groupImportPattern>
	<numberOfFiles>6</numberOfFiles>
    <fileNameDateTimePattern>'timeseries_'MMddHHmm'_?'</fileNameDateTimePattern>
    <waitingTime unit="day" multiplier="1"/>
</groupImportPattern>

with the import folder containing the files: 

• timeseries_01011200_1
• timeseries_01011200_2
• timeseries_01011200_3
• timeseries_01011200_4
• timeseries_01011200_5
• timeseries_01011200_6
• timeseries_01021200_1

The first six files will be imported because six files are matching the pattern "timeseries_01011200_?". But the last file will not be imported yet because it is the only file matching the pattern "timeseries_01021200_?" .

fileNamePatternFilter

Option to filter files that need to be imported based on their filename. This can be useful if there are files in the import folder that should not be imported:
