Introduction

MeteoAlarmCap is a XML export format following the Common Alerting Protocol standard: http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/cap/v1.2/CAP-v1.2-os.html . The export is used for http://www.rijkswaterstaat.nl/kaarten/waterstand-tov-nap.aspx.

MeteoAlarmCap Export Configuration

The configuration of the MeteoAlarmCap export module is shown in the following example.

The following are the required properties that have to be configured:

The area code is one of the following codes that should be available as externalLocationId in the idMap (only one code is required if a locationset is configured in the timeseriesset):

The following properties are optional and can be used to change the default values. The default values are given:

For exporting description and instruction the MeteoalarmCap export relies on location attributes. 

	<locationSet id="meteoalarm">

The csv file might look as follows:

As MeteoAlarmCap can generate multiple CAP files per forecast, 'exportFileName' create a folder that includes all exported CAP files. 'exportFileName' should be different for each export (e.g. each RWSoS system).
