We need to mark which are required and which are optional
Introduction
The regional configuration items form the basis of the region specific configuration of DELFT FEWS as a forecasting system for a particular river system or administrative region. It includes definitions of the parameter, locations, units and flags used , which may vary per application of the system.
The region configuration items include (items is bold are required for a minimal system):
- Parameters definition of the parameters used for time series
- Locations definition of all locations
- LocationSets definition of sets of locations
- Branches definition of branches (used for displaying longitudinal profiles)
- Grids definition of grids used in the system.
- TimeUnits Definition of time units supported by the system (used for mapping external time units to internal time units).
- Filters Definition of filters in the main map display
- ValidationRuleSets Definition of validation rule sets
- Thresholds definition of threshold types
- ThresholdValueSets definition of threshold values for all locations and data types.
- ValueAttributeMaps attributes to be mapped from time series values for use in reports.
- ColdModuleInstanceStateGroups Definition of groups of cold module states.
- ModuleInstanceDescriptors Definition of instances of modules
- WorkflowDescriptors Definition of workflows
- IdMapDescriptors Definition of ID maps used for mapping external parameters and ID's to DELFT-FEWS locations and parameters.
- FlagConversionDescriptors Definition of Flag conversions used for mapping external data quality flags to DELFT-FEWS data quality flags.
- UnitConversionsDescriptors Definition of unit conversions used for mapping external units to DELFT-FEWS units.
- CorrelationEventSetsDescriptors Definition of sets of correlation events (used by correlation module only).
- TravelTimesDescriptors Definition of sets of travel times for correlation events (used by correlation module only).
- HistoricalEvents Definition of historical events to be plotted against real time forecast data for reference purposes.
Many of the configuration items required will include references to strings. To avoid duplication, a tag can be defined in the global.properties file in the root configuration and the tag name used in the XML file (see also System Configuration).
