Root configuration files
The following root Configuration Files are crucial for either an Operator Client (OC) and a Forecasting Shell Server (FSS)
| RootConfiguration file | OC | FSS |
|---|---|---|
| *_clientConfig.xml | required | required |
| patch.jar | required | required |
| *_global.properties | required | required |
| splash_screen.jpg | recommended | not needed |
A * means either "oc" or "fss"
clientConfig.xml file(s)
From Delft-FEWS 2018.02 onwards, the different clientConfig.xml files have an important place in the Delft-FEWS root configuration. Different variants (for different components) of clientConfig.xml files exist and will be explained below.
The clientConfig.xml consist of the following elements:
title
Optional element for setting the title of your application/component
clientType
Required element for defining the type. Enumeration of options includes;
- Forecasting Shell
- Operator Client
- Stand Alone
otherRootConfigFiles
One or more reference to the required root configuration files which should always be downloaded when an OC or FSS starts.
connection
Optional element to define the connections to the Master Controller. Only required if you have more than 1 Master Controller connections (multi MC environments).
If there is only 1 Master Controller, the connection details are already within the shortcuts (TO DO: INSERT LINK TO EXPLANATION) you have created when deploying/installing the system.
databaseServer (+ url / user / password)
Required elements for setting the details of the database server if you want to specify those in the <connection>.
