Overview
Location sets may be used to define logical groups of locations. Often an action may need to be taken on a whole set of locations (e.g. validation). By creating a LocationSet the action need only be defined once on a location set and not on individual locations. Any location may appear in more than one location set. Internally a location set is simply evaluated as a list of locations.
The location set configuration file is included in the RegionConfigFiles\ folder: LocationSets.xml
Shape file, GeoJSON file and CSV file
It is possible to define locationSets with locations that are automatically generated (so NOT defined in the locations.xml) from an ESRI Shape (dbf) file, geoJSON file or from a CSV table. See all detailed information at the next page
Database Table
It is also possible to define locationSets with locations that are read directly from a database. The contents of the database table are on the fly read and converted to a DBZ file. This DBZ file will be used by FEWS. This is for backup purpose in case the database is not available any more, like in stand-alone test environments. See all detailed information at the next page
