Overview

The archive display can be used to interact with the FEWS-archive.

The main functions which are supported by this display are:

  • management of events in the archive,
  • search for events and download data related to events from the archive,
  • search for data in the archive

 

Configuration

To use the archive display, configure it as <explorerTask> in Explorer.xml. For example:

		<explorerTask name="Archive Catalogue">
			<iconFile>Archive.png</iconFile>
			<mnemonic>A</mnemonic>
			<displayConfigFileName>ArchiveModuleDisplay</displayConfigFileName>
			<toolbarTask>false</toolbarTask>
			<menubarTask>true</menubarTask>
			<accelerator>ctrl A</accelerator>
			<loadAtStartup>false</loadAtStartup>
		</explorerTask>

The ArchiveModuleDisplay configuration

 

The configuration file for this display resides in the DisplayConfigFiles folder. It primarily contains references to the archive server, while it also specifies tte download folders, i.e. the destination folders for data being downloaded.

 

While the xsd is mostly self explaining some remarks can be made:

  • it is recommended to use global properties to define the server details and the download folders.
  • When Historical Events are defined as an event type, the defaultHistoricalEventTimeStep needs to be defined. This time step becomes part of the historical event definition as the system needs to know which of the archived observed timeseries has the proper timestep for use as a histroical event.
  • Not all archive systems will hold/store all dataset types. To prevent confusion with the user, the search options can be restricted to a limited list of dataset types that can be searched for, using element searchDataTypes.
