• URBS parameter adapter from Deltares (this wiki), responsible for:
  
  • Conversion of the Delft-FEWS PI Parameter XML file to the *.ini file that will be used by the URBS pre adapter. This parameters file can incorporate location attribute modifiers written by Delft-FEWS 
  • Documentation of this adapter can be found on this page.
• URBS pre and post adapter from Don Carroll, responsible for:
  • Extraction of the start date, end date and time increment for the data series from the startDate, endDate and timeStep.
    • Please note that the pre and post adapter will assume a GMT+10 time zone, even if you specify differently. For any questions regarding this behavior (which does not correspond to the documentation, see link below), please contact Don Carroll.
  • Conversion of time series files for rainfall, gauging station and inflow data (i.e. the “.r”, “.g” or ‘.i” files) from Delf-FEWS PI XML to native URBS formatted files.
  • Creation of the modelAdapter.bat file, to start the URBS model
  • Conversion of the URBS output files to a single Delft-FEWS PI XML time series file
  • Conversion of log messages from both the model run and the pre- and post adapter to Delft-FEWS PI XML log files
  • For more info see URBS pre and post adapter

a vec file can be configured which will get the "URBS_VEC_TAGS" group from the Parameters.xml and will replace the corresponding tags is the specified vec file with the values of the parameter.

When "URBS_ASTERISKS" group is defined in Parameters.xml all %ASTERISK_<x>% tags will be replaced with an * where the <x> corresponds to one of the values in the string value of "URBS_ASTERISKS" parameter, separated by /

For this to work, the user also needs to define the “vecFile” key to the exportRunFileActivity.
