The global.properties file has two main uses:
- Define global variable that can be used within the (XML) configuration files (e.g. if you define NAME_OFPROGRAM=c:\Myexe.exe in the global.properties file you can use the variable $NAME_OFPROGRAM$ in the configuration files).
- To set software options. A list of available options is given below (all options are case sensitive):

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 |

|
timeSeriesDefaultCacheSizeMB |
50 |
Allocated memory for caching time series. More memory increases the performance of handling time series (e.g. in graphs or spatial display) |
10 Mb |
timeSeriesTaskRunCacheSizeMB |
50 |
Allocated memory for time series that are created during task runs (at a forecasting shell). |
10 Mb |
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 cause a lot of extra work for the rolling barrel later on. |
