Overview
Imports time series data from files in Hydrologic Engineering Center Data Storage System format: http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-dss/
The information about time series is stored as "dss path" in 6 parts:
/<part A>/<part B>/<part C>/<part D>/<part E>/<part F>/
From that will be extracted:
- location id (if <part A> is present): <part A>/<part B>
- location id (if <part A> is NOT present): <part B>
- parameter id: <part C>
- qualifier id (if <part F> is present): <part F>
<part D> and <part E> are ignored in this import but provide information about the data and time storage.
This format is also available in the export module: HecDss (export)
Import type
The import type is HecDss.
Example
Here is an example file with dss path //CAMP FAR WEST OUTFLOW/FLOW-LOC/27SEP2010/IR-DAY//
Here is a very simple import configuration example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <timeSeriesImportRun xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/timeSeriesImportRun.xsd"> <import> <general> <importType>HecDss</importType> <folder>$IMPORT_FOLDER$/OBS</folder> <failedFolder>$IMPORT_FAILED_FOLDER$</failedFolder> <backupFolder>$IMPORT_BACKUP_FOLDER$/OBS</backupFolder> </general> </import> </timeSeriesImportRun>
