traning training environment for the Delft-FEWS application ConfigCourse_WC
, you have to take the following steps:
Create a FEWS_WaterCoach folder - Add a stand alone copy of the operational
ConfigCourse_WC
Create a WaterCoach
folder Create the folder Add a FEWS bin
folder (this can be a copy of the operational FEWS version, but also a newer version with new functionality you want to train) - Add the
ConfigCourse_WC.exe
and ConfigCourse_WC.jpif
file to start the ConfigCourse_WC system (copy these files from the bin folder of the operational system and modify the region dir in the .jpif file)
Add a jre
folder (copy of the jre folder in the operational FEWS system)ConfigCourseWC system Add a folder Demo
for the - (first) scenario
- Add a folder
Demo_script
for the (first) script for this specific scenario- Add the
script_config.xml
file and all the necessary files that are referenced in the script
- Add
the localDataStore
- a folder
localDataStore
containing the local data store for this scenario (this may be a copy of the localDataStore folder from the operational system)

application_configApplication Configuration: WaterCoachDisplay.xml
Create the
application config xml file (you can use this example)
You can rename this file to match the name of your forecasting system, e.g. ConfigCourse_WC.xmlInspect the elements of the example and make modifications:
- change the preferred language with the
locale
keyword (e.g. to "NL" or "EN") - check the path for the
fewsExecutable
- check the path for the
fewsRegionDir
- does the
fewsSystemTimeUpdateInMinutes
match your fews configuration? - check the path for the
scenarioScriptDatabasePath
- check if the
fileAssociation
is correct for your system - check whether the configuration of
timeControl
, what do all the options imply? - do you want to use different {{experienceLevel}}s?
- does the
fewsPiPortNumber
match your fews configuration?

Create the script_config.xml file from scratch, or check out this example - navigates to another wiki page.
Note: The script file should always be named script_config.xml.
With the example script_config.xml in place you can run the Water Coach by double clicking the
ConfigCourse_WCWaterCoach.exe.
Try it!
Inspect the elements of the example and make modifications:
title
timeZone
dataStart
scriptStart
scriptStop
The example script runs for 1 minute. dataStart
, dataStop
, displayStart
What is the difference between dataStart
and displayStart
?
How can you use this?
How long does the example script run?
Extend the length of the
script - game by changing the value of the
scriptStop
foreastNote
Below, we will take a closer look at stories
, forecastTable
and dictionaryFiles
You can run the Water Coach by double clicking the
ConfigCourse_WCWaterCoach.exe. Select the scenario and script you have created.
Test your modifications!

Experiment with the start, stop, and popup keywords in a story. -
requiredExperienceLevel
Experiment with the experience levels. Do you want to make changes to your script_config.xml? -
once
With the once option you can simulate a phone call. How can you fit that into your script? -
condition
is a method to make the script more interactive
We take a closer look at the condition
below -

, which is a sperate file. Where can you find this file? - Add a reference to another dictionary file
- Fill this dictionary file with
word s and their definition
A dictionary could be used to aid a less experienced trainee Every time the dictionary is used, this is logged for after action review Can you find the log file for this training session? Connecting the dotsSo far, alterations to the script have been made without referring to the scenario, i.e. the contents of the Delft-FEWS local data store. Start-up Delft-FEWS and inspect the data that is available. Construct a simple script with events for a trainee in which he/she has to inspect the data in Delft-FEWS in order to be able to publish a forecast (for a location and parameter of your choice). Give feedback at the end of the script about the forecast that he/she made. |
