Further debugging information for a HEC-RTS forecast is created for two of the software applications that are part of the HEC-RTS default program order - HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS. The debugging information will display in the individual software applications' log files.
HMS Tab
Another debugging tool that is available to the user, is to debug the HEC-HMS software application. By default, the HEC-HMS debugging capability is turned off. From the Options dialog, click the HMS tab (Figure 1). To turn on HMS debugging, select Debug (Figure 1). Now from the HMS log file, the user will be able to view XML (eXtensible Markup Language) calls from the HMS software application.
RAS Plugin Tab
For the HEC-RAS software application there are two debugging tools – display debug calls for the HEC-RAS software application and display the HEC-RAS Computations dialog (Figure 2). From the Options dialog, click the RAS Plugin tab (Figure 3).
To have debugging information included in the HEC-RAS log file, click Debug XML calls to RAS (Figure 3), this will debug XML calls in the HEC-RAS software application. To display further debugging information, click Show Native Compute Window (Figure 3), this will display the HEC-RAS Computations dialog (Figure 2) during a forecast run that includes HEC-RAS.
