New in FEWS 2019.02 is the format property as shown in the example above, which can be added to select the export format. The default format is E so to provide backward compatibility with existing configurations that do not include the <properties> element will work as usual.. Additional format supported by FEWS 2019.02 are A and B.
Only for the B format SHEF files, an additional property named "source" can be set to define the "message source" as described in the SHEF coding manual, (defaul value is "FEWS")
The SHEF serializer does not automatically support all the features that are described in the SHEF coding manual, and the following features will need to be configured manually:
- ID mapping to map the FEWS parameter id's to the correct SHEF parameter codes, locations etc. (see the SHEF coding manual)
- unit conversions, especially when the exported SHEF file needs to contain imperial units instead of the SI units used by FEWS internally.
- Time zone conversion.
