[AWIPS #YFI-843426]: Re: [comethelp] Re: UCAR AWIPS Simulator Console #9 Issues

Hi Tim,

Yes, you've got it exactly.  The regex="true" flag is necessary because you are 
specifying
a range of keyValues (HWRF*).  If you only want two model runs then yes your 
specification 
is correct, but you could include the <modTimeToWait> flag if you want.  What 
this does, is
say you get two model runs (for some reason) really close to one another:
Model_run_1 : 00:00z
Model_run_2 : 06:00z
Model_run_3 : 06:02z

The modTimeToWait flag will increase the versionsToKeep by 1 if data matching 
this rule has 
been stored within modTimeToWait (optional, should only be specified with 
versionsToKeep).
So in the above scenario, if modTimeToWait was 15 minutes:
<modTimeToWait>00-00:15:00</modTimeToWait>
Then it would keep all 3 of those models around until the next model runs come 
in, and then
I believe it would purge the oldest two.

So your entry would look like:
  <rule regex="true">
    <keyValue>HWRF*</keyValue>
    <versionsToKeep>2</versionsToKeep>
    <modTimeToWait>00-00:15:00</modTimeToWait>   <-----this line is optional!
  </rule>

Does that answer all your questions?
