To override default values and to set global variables

In the global.properties file in the root dir of the region

Updated behavior of the system

Use with caution

DelftFEWS200701

alwaysAllowDummyModuleInstanceRuns

TransformationModule is allowed to edit time series created earlier in the same workflow, the TM can create simulated time series for any ModuleInstanceId and this can create unexpected behaviour when making runs current, this can mess up the branching information of other workflows

false

alwaysAllowWriteSimulatedBelongingToAlreadyRunnedModuleInstance

general adapter import activities time series sets should have the same ModuleInstance as the general adapter

false

ARCHIVE_EXPORT_PATH

ARCHIVE_IMPORT_PATH

checkFileWillExistOnCaseSensitiveFileSystem

boolean

if configuration runs on Linux, this needs to be true

false

COUNTRY / LANGUAGE / VARIANT

string

E.g. COUNTRY=AU, LANGUAGE=EN, VARIANT=BOM

COUNTRY /LANGUAGE / VARIANT selects the language files that are used in the user interface

LANGUAGE default is english

Empty string

DEFAULT_EXPIRY_DAYS

Any number of days

Sets the default expiry time for timeseries in the database. You can override this when storing individual timeseries by specifying the expirytime in the timeseriesSet

10 Days

DEFAULT_EXPIRY_DAYS_LOGEVENT

DEFAULT_EXPIRY_DAYS_LOGEVENT_MANUAL

doCaseConsistencyCheckOnMc

boolean

Check new config files for case insensitive matches on the MC, to prevent config corruption in (case-insensitive) MsAccess localDataStores

false

EXPLORER_SYSTEMCAPTION

any string value

Option to set the window title of the FEWS Explorer (i.s.o. Explorer.xml). In Explorer.xml the element <systemCaption> underneath <systemInformation> should contain a reference ($EXPLORER_SYSTEMCAPTION$) to this global property variable

localDatastoreFormat

firebird

Use firebird for the local datastore (instead of msaccess). Useful if you have large (> 2GB) datastores. Notice that in case of using firebird the localDataStore should be located at the physical hard disk and not at the network.

msaccess

USE_CURRENT_SIMULATED_WITH_COLD_STATE_SELECTION

boolean

By default current simulated data of a module instance is visible during a run until the running forecast has started a new chain (i.e. selected a cold state) for that module instance. Setting this property to 'true' allows the use of a cold state selection in combination with timeseries of a current (approved) simulated forecast run

false

timeSeriesWriteCacheSizeMB

50

Temporary time series (synchLevel 9) are written to the database when the size of the write cache is not large enough to hold them in memory. This will slow down the system. By increasing the size of the the timeseries write cache this can be avoided. In general this is only needed if you process large amounts of gridded data.

10 Mb

SCHEMALOCATION

If you do not want to use the Deltares schema location server, only used when FEWS writes xml files

http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/

PI_SCHEMALOCATION

If you do not want to use the Deltares schema location server, only used when FEWS writes xml files

http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/pi-schemas/

UseLenientPiTimeSeriesParser

makes the PITimeSeriesParser more tolerant to other data formats (e.g. 31-02)

false

readCompleteBranchSimulatedHistoricalWhenReadCompleteForecast

since 2012.01 readCompleteForecast only reads the current historical run instead of the complete branch

used for compatibility with version FEWS 2011.02

GA_shiftExternalTimesToYear2000

boolean

This setting is used to export data from the General Adapter always starting in the year 2000. True means this setting is used. This overcomes the issue with running FEWS after the year 10.000 which caused problems. Internally the dates are handled normally.

false

REPORT_HTML2PDF_PROGRAM

%REGION_HOME%/Modules/Reports/bin/html2pdf.cmd

location of html2pdf program, required in case generatePDF=true in reports module

-

REPORTS_LEFTCOLMCID

MCID

Reference to MCID (e.g. MC00 or MC01) to put benchmark values in left or right column of a specific system status report

REPORTS_RIGHTCOLMCID

MCID

Reference to MCID (e.g. MC00 or MC01) to put benchmark values in left or right column of a specific system status report

mapLayersCacheDir

any local directory

Local directory to keep an up-to-date cache of maplayers which are retrieved from a network drive. Allows central maintenance of MapLayer-files without storage in the central database.

LANGUAGE

string

Set LANGUAGE=REGIONAL to automatically use the selected language in your Windows Regional Settings.
To fix the language, you also can define a specific language, like NL (Dutch). Default language is EN (English).

Spain LANGUAGE=es, Germany LANGUAGE=de

EN

E.g. VARIANT=BOM

JdbcServerPort

integer

IP port number on which the JDBC server will listen after startup

2000

T0

string

Date/time to set the system time to (only available for stand-alone systems). The date/time should conform to the pattern as configured for the system (in the Explorer xml)

maxConfigFileSizeMB

real

Maximum size of configuration files that can be imported into the localDataStore using the ConfigManager

unlimited

runInLoopParallelProcessorCount

integer

Maximum nr of cores (CPU's) Delft-FEWS can use to run ensemble loops in parallel. Set to 100 to use all available cores.

1

tempDir

string

Sets the temp dir to something other than the windows default e.g. =F:/Temp

Windows default

localDataStorePoolDir

any local directory

Sets the dir where a pool of max. 10 localdatastore directories is stored to be used by OC at Citrix like systems. Useful in case of using firebird as localdatastoreformat, which requires the localdatatstore to be at the physical disk drive (not at the network!).
For example: localDataStorePoolDir=C:/FewsLocalDataStores
>> creates C:\FewsLocalDataStores\<Region>\localDataStore0, ...1, ...2 etc
