CWMS Service Logins

Improvements for CWMS 3.5

  • CWMS Server Setup now allows for users to reorder the Data Sources. Local Login remains at the top.
  • Watershed Properties > Server Configuration tab no longer displays a server selection combo box. Now, only the current logged in server is displayed with a tooltip to display the host url.
  • Watershed Properties > Server Configuration no longer has the ability to change server properties as they are no longer tied to the watershed
  • There is a Properties button which launches the server properties from the current logged in cwms server. If user is logged out, then the Properties button is read only.
  • Users can switch between watersheds and are no longer prompted to login when switching between watersheds.
  • New Watershed Dialog - No longer contains field for changing servers for the watershed
  • DSS Extract/Post - No longer contains fields for the active login URL and port (these were unused and for display purposes only)
  • Open Watershed - if the user is currently not logged into the servers configured for the watershed, the user will no longer be prompted to login to a new set of servers

The CWMS login establishes connection to the CWMS host server for data access through:

  • Time Series Icons
  • CWMS-Vue CAVI Plugin
  • Extract/Post Editors
  • Data Validation Editor
  • Data Status Summary Report

Logging into a different server than the one originally configured for the Watershed

When logging into a server that is different than the watershed's server, the retrieval of CWMS data will work if time series records and HEC-DSS file location names match between the different servers. So, CWMS time series record data previously configured for the watershed will work with a different server connection as long as the CWMS time series data records are the same in both databases (and any remote HEC-DSS files configured for the watershed are named the same and in the same locations on each server). This includes the Extract and Post processes, Time Series Icons, Data Validation, and Data Status Summary.
