A post refers to the process of saving data from the forecast.dss file to either a 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. HEC-RTS supports posts for DSS gridded data and time series data, and WISKI time series data. The Post Editor (Figure 1) is used to create and define post groups that disseminate data to a WISKI database.
Now that you have successfully computed a forecast and reviewed results, you might want to save data from the forecast.dss file to other DSS files. This task is done from the Post Editor Information about the Post Editor and post groups is detailed in Data Extract and Post Editors. This appendix will provide information on WISKI and KiWIS details.
