Scenario and Script database: set up the training Set-up environmentTo set-up a 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 Add the application_config.xml fileAdd an ConfigCourse_WC.exe and ConfigCourse_WC.jpif file to start the WaterCoachCreate 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, see below) Add a jre folder (copy of the jre folder in the operational FEWS system)Add a folder Demo ConfigCourse_WC for the systemDemo _scenario 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
) Anchor |

| jpif | jpif | jpif file
The .jpif file for the Water Coach has the following content:
..\FEWS_WaterCoach\jre
-jar
WaterCoach.jar
ConfigCourse_WC.xml
Optionally, you can pre-fill the form with which you select the scenario and such. In that case, add all of the following lines:
Name
(i.e. Name of the participant)
Demo
(i.e. Name of the scenario to be selected)
Demo_script
(i.e. Name of the script to be selected 1
(i.e. speed up factor)

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
(optional, WC will search for system defaults if nothing is specified) - 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?

Script configuration: script_config.xml
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:
scriptStart
scriptStop
-
displayStart
What is the difference between dataStart
and
scriptStart
-
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
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!

Column | width | 45% | Stories
There are two types of stories. Inspect the Stories of the example
Visualization of the stories
By now we have created a nicely filled script. To get a visual overview of the activity in the script, you can use the showVisualizeScriptButton
option. Make sure you have this button configured in your application config xml file and visualize your script.
Do you like what you see?By keeping the Water Coach open, you can quickly visualize changes made to the script by reopening the visualization.

Frames
Inspect the Frames of the example and make modifications:
-
title
is how the frame is presented to the trainee
Change the title to reflect the content of the frame -
start
, stop
and popup
define how a frame is executed
Add a story to the script that contains at least three frames.
Make the first frame active for the first 30 seconds of the script, the second for the next 30 seconds and so on.
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 -
file
Add a file (e.g. pdf or png) to the ScenarioScriptDatabase.
Add a frame to the inbox or a story that displays this file. -
message
How does a message appear to the trainee?
The tools provided can be used in any way you like, get creative!

Dictionary Files
Inspect the Dictionary files that is referred to in the example.
Inspect the Dictionary, which is a sperate file. Where can you find this file?

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 dots
So 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.
