The URA import function (<importType>URA</importType>) imports external historical time series from a specific CSV files for FEWS Basque. Since the csv data is specified in local time format, a timezone has to be configured in the importer:
| No Format |
|---|
<importTimeZone> |
...
<timeZoneName>CET</timeZoneName> |
...
</importTimeZone> |
- These files are received each 15 minutes and included all the signals for that interval.
...
- PORCE: percentage of filling in reservoir in %
...
- Date (day/month/year) and time (hour:minutes)
...
- Value of the signal. The “,” represents the decimal point
...
- Quality of the signal:
- BUENO/BUENA: good; FEWS quality flag: ORIGINAL_RELIABLE
- MALO/MALA: bad; FEWS quality flag: ORIGINAL_DOUBTFUL
- NO DATO: no data; FEWS quality flag: ORIGINAL_MISSING
Configuring the Import
To make the importer known to FEWS, the import module has to be declared in the moduleInstanceDescriptors.xml in the RegionConfigFiles directory of the FEWS configuration:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <moduleInstanceDescriptors xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" |
...
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews
http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/moduleInstanceDescriptors.xsd" version="1.0">
...
<moduleInstanceDescriptor id="ImportURA">
<moduleId>TimeSeriesImportRun</moduleId>
</moduleInstanceDescriptor>
...
</moduleInstanceDescriptors>
|
An example of the URA import configuration will be given here. The importType is named URA which should be configured in the general section of the import.
Special attention should be given to the timezone since URA data is stored in local time;
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<timeSeriesImportRun xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews
http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/timeSeriesImportRun.xsd">
<import>
<general>
<importType>URA</importType>
<folder>$IMPORT_FOLDER$/import/ura</folder>
<idMapId>uraMapId</idMapId>
<importTimeZone>
<timeZoneName>CET</timeZoneName>
</importTimeZone>
</general>
<timeSeriesSet>
<moduleInstanceId>ImportURA</moduleInstanceId>
<valueType>scalar</valueType>
<parameterId>Q.m</parameterId>
<locationId>FewsLocation</locationId>
<timeSeriesType>external historical</timeSeriesType>
<timeStep unit="minute" multiplier="5"/>
<relativeViewPeriod unit="minute" start="0" end="100"/>
<readWriteMode>add originals</readWriteMode>
</timeSeriesSet>
</import>
</timeSeriesImportRun>

The IdMapping configuration uraMapId.xml is very important because this maps the internal FEWS Id's to the URA Id's. An example IdMapping file for the URA importer is shown below.:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<idMap version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews
http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/idMap.xsd">
....
<parameter internal="Q.m" external="QRIO1"/>
<location internal="FewsLocation" external="1080"/>
....
</idMap>
