Introduction

In this chapter some additional configuration is described which is required in providing DELFT-FEWS as an operational forecasting system. Only the elements relevant to DELFT-FEWS as either a stand-alone system or as an operator client are described. Configuration of the Master Controller as the hub of a live forecasting system is described in a separate document.

The items to be configured are predominantly the root configuration files. These determine how a local client is started (ie if it is in stand alone mode or if it is an operator client), as well as for the live system the details on the Master Controller to connect to and options for synchronisation.

The root configuration items include;

• clientConfig
• logConfig
• RollingBarrel_Database (this file should not be changed and is not described)
• synchConfig
• synchChannels
• synchProfiles

This chapter also describes the procedure in setting up scheduled current forecasts in the live system and the procedure for setting up enhanced forecasting.
