1.4 Config Subdirectories

The location of the CHPS Configuration directory may vary depending on the RFC, but the subdirectories are standard among all River Forecast Centers.

The configuration directory contains subdirectories with logical names.

Commonly Used Subdirectories

Some of the subdirectories you will become familiar with in your role as a configuration focal point include:

region RegionConfigFiles form the basis for this RFC-specific configuration, including all locations, parameters, etc.
workflow WorkflowFiles contain definitions of workflows for running sequences of modules.
module ModuleConfigFiles contain configurations of all modules used to handle data and run forecast models (ModuleParameters and ModuleDataSetFiles may also be helpful).
System directory SystemConfigFiles include definitions of the functional elements DELFT-FEWS has available (plug-ins). The layout of the time series display in the main GUI is also defined in these files.

Click the reference link at the bottom of the page for a complete list (with brief descriptions) of the configuration files located in the configuration subdirectories.

Root Configuration Files

Root configuration files define Operator Client (OC) and/or Forecasting Shell Server (FSS) behavior. The files may be unique to each OC or FSS.

Warning! DO NOT edit root configuration files without consulting the Hydrologic Services Branch!
