Plug-Ins

The RTS Plug-Ins tab provides information on the plug-ins that are currently being used in HEC-RTS for the four basic software applications in the default program order, plus the plug-ins for MFP, scripting, and supplemental software. The RTS Plug-Ins tab provides a list of the plug-ins available in HEC-RTS and from this tab you can enable and disable the list plugins.

RTS Plug-Ins Tab

From the Options dialog, from the RTS Plug-Ins tab (Figure 1), you can view whether a software application is running; view a software application's log file; and, restart a software application if that application has stopped.

1. From the Options dialog, click the RTS Plug-Ins tab (Figure 1), a table will display. The information contained in the table (Figure 1) is all about the available software applications, supplemental software, and scripting. Information includes the name of the software application; the version being used; the watershed (project) that is open; server status; and, the capability to view the log file.
2. As long as the plug-in for each item in the table (Figure 1) is providing you will see a version number; server status will be up; and, for a log file you will be able to view. If you see unknown or N/A, that does not mean there is something wrong, it just means that the required information needed by HEC-RTS is not being provided.
3. If the ResSim, FIA, or RAS plug-in's server status is Down, select that plug-in's row, click Start Server (Figure 1), HEC-RTS will re-start the selected plug-in.
4. In the Log File column (Figure 1), if View is displayed, then you can click View and the log file for the selected plug-in will display (Figure 2).
   

Plugins Tab

From the Options dialog, click on the Plug-ins tab (Figure 3), a table of the plug-ins that are enabled by default for HEC-RTS will display. Besides providing a list of the available plug-ins, you can also disable plug-ins for all watersheds. It is not recommended that you disable plugins.
