A post refers to the process of saving data from the forecast.dss file to an HEC-DSS file or a WISKI database. A post selects an output time series from the forecast.dss file and disseminates it in an external data location. Compute output can be stored as historical results to be viewed or used in future forecasts. CWMS and HEC-RTS support posts for HEC-DSS gridded data, HEC-DSS time series data, and WISKI time series data. The Post Editor is used to create and define post groups that disseminate data to a WISKI database.
For more information about the Post Editor and post groups, see Data Extract and Post Editors. This tutorial will provide information on WISKI and KiWIS details.
