In the FEWS Explorer and the TimeSeries Display, a number of options are available under the <F12>. They are meant to be used during debugging or testing and useful functionality might end up in the GUI in a later version. Below are the options available in 2016.01, most of the options are self-explanatory but some additional descriptions of the functionality are included here.

NB. If option <timeSeriesStatus>remotely updated snapshot</timeSeriesStatus> is enabled in the explorer.xml an additional F12 option appears 'time series status'. This option allows the user to 'load database snapshot' or 'update database snapshot'. These snapshot files are used where the calculation of the status icon is complex or has a long relative view period, thus improving the refresh performance of these icons. 


Database sub-menu options
log database table spacesLogs to table spaces to the Logs dialog and log.txt
replicate central databaseMakes a copy the database. Since 2017.02 the user can make a subselection
cancel replicate action

show connectionsShows current connections to the central database (live system)
log database info
 

log time series blob id sequences
 

set minimal execution time before logging sql statements Recommended settings are: 500-1000 or 1200-millis

delete childless task runs and childless single tasksOption to clean up childless tasks (since 2017.02). Since 2018.02 this is included in the ImportAmalgamate.
delete all what-ifs with deprecated xsdSince 2022.01. Before migrating to the new what-if templates the old what-ifs should be deleted

default configExports current config to disk
 

default config as zipExports current config to disk in a zip file
 

default dbf/dbz as csv filesExports current dbf/dbz files as comma separated value (csv) files
 

location sets as csv filesExports location sets as comma separated value (csv) files

qualifiers as csv fileExports qualifiers as comma separated value (csv) files
export time series metadata in database as csv fileExports the identifying info of all time series in the database as csv fileExports csv file with 1 line for each time series and columns for: all filters it is visible in, module Instance Id, parameter id, parameter name, location id, location name, qualifiers, timeStep, valueType, timeSeriesType, aggregation, domainParameters, cycle, ensemble, ensembleMember. Useful for debugging like detecting if some time series are not visible in a filter. 
export all modifiersExports all modifiers
 

current warm statesExports all current warm states
 

all warm statesExports all warm states

A complete set of Warm States which can be used as Cold States can be exported. In the Explorer using F12+T,
current warm states are exported for the current module runs.
T0/system time is ignored. It exports for current
module runs and for the current branches. This can give problems when the historical module instance id of the
state is also used in another workflow that does not produce states.
Code has been changed so it will search in
the whole branch till the system time. A folder structure to the exported warm states
for both export 'current' warm
states and export 'all' warm states. The most recent state in the current branch per module instance is exported.
This is the same method as used in the export state activity

irregular grids to esri shape filesExports all irregular grids to ESRI shp file format
 

rating curvesExports all rating curves
 

save current visible map as png fileExports current visible map extent as png file
 

Riemann boundary calculation constantsCalculates the constants needed for the Riemann boundary
transformation and exports them to several (csv) attribute files.
On wiki.
save deleted rows as zip fileExports the deleted rows from the DeletedRows table. Used when examining Foreign Key errors.

log obsolete modules and explorer plugins

Scans all  module config files and all display config files to detect the obsolete configuration 

Also the  explorerTask’s  without <displayConfigFileName>   are scanned.  When any obsolete plugin is detected,  the following message is logged  :

INFO – <obsolete module>  is obsolete and not supported anymore after Fews version <version>    <link to the module documentation on the Wiki >


User settings sub-menu options
delete user settings in databaseDeletes the user settings for the current user from the database and restarts FEWS with empty user settings. If an old user_settings.ini file is found, the user is prompted to choose whether this file should also be deleted.
import user settings from fileThe user is asked to select a .ini file from which the user settings should be imported. The user settings for the current user are overwritten by the imported user settings and FEWS is restarted using the new settings.
export user settings to fileThe contents of the user settings for the current user in the database are written to the specified a .ini file.
