Scenario and Script database: set up the training 
Set-up 
 environment
To 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 
  • 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)
    • Create 
     a WaterCoach folder Add 
    •  the 
     application_config.xml fileAdd a bin 
  • Add a jre folder (copy of the jre folder in the operational FEWS system) new as of FEWS 2013.02)
  • Add an ConfigCourse_WC.exe and ConfigCourse_WC.jpif file to start the WaterCoach (obsolete as of FEWS 2013.02)
    • Create the folder 
    •  folder 
     containing the WaterCoach binaries (new as of FEWS 2013.02)Add a folder Demo  ConfigCourse_WC for the system 
      • Demo_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

    Application 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.xml
    Inspect 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? (obsolete as of FEWS 2013.02)
    • 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 the configuration of timeControl, what do all the options imply?
    • do you want to use a different experienceLevel?
    • 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 WaterCoach.exe.
    Try it!
    Inspect the elements of the example and make modifications:
     scriptStart
    •  dataStop,

    •  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_WC
    WaterCoach.exe. Select the scenario and script you have created.

    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.

      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.

    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.
