Development Tasks / Deploy

The software that is created and tested in the development environment via the PyCharm IDE must be deployed to the operational environment, which does not include PyCharm.

1. Clone the Repository

Clone the Colorado's Decision Support System (CDSS) Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Tools from GitHub. Step-by-step instructions, provided by GitHub Help, are listed below.

  1. Open Git Bash.
  2. Change the current working directory to the location where you want the cloned directory to be made.
  3. Type git clone and then type https://github.com/OpenWaterFoundation/cdss-app-snodas-tools.git.
  4. Press Enter. The repository clone will be created.

2. Create Folder/File Structure for Deployed Environment

  1. Determine/create the location on the local computer for the deployed version of the SNODAS Tools. Name this folder SNODAS_Tools.
  2. Create the following folders under the SNODAS_Tools folder.
    aws
    config
    scripts
    staticData\WatershedConnectivity
    processedData
    TSTool\6_CreateTimeSeriesProducts\SnowpackGraphsByBasin-tsp
  3. Move the following files from the repository to the deployed environment.

3. Set Variables in the Configuration File

  1. Open the configuration file SNODAS_Tools\config\SNODAS-Tools-Config.ini in the deployed environment.
  2. Change all setttings in the configuration file. Settings are explained as comments inside the configuration file as well as in the File Structure section of the Developer Documentation.
  3. Make sure that the relative path in section handler_fileHandler option args is set to the location where you want the log file to be stored. Recommend that the relative path is set to ..\processedData\SNODASTools.log.

4. Set Variables in the Task Scheduler Batch File

  1. Open the task scheduler batch file SNODAS_Tools\scripts\copyAllToOwfAmazonS3.bat in the deployed environment.
  2. Change OSGEO4W_ROOT to point to the base OSGEO4W install folder.
  3. Change PYCHARM to point to the pycharm program.
  4. Change PYTHON_JOB to point to the SNODASDaily_Automated.py script in the deployed environment.

5. Set Variables in the Python Scripts

  1. Open the SNODAS_utilities.py script SNODAS_Tools\scripts\SNODAS_utilities.py in the deployed environment.
  2. Change Configfile to the relative path of the configuration file SNODAS_Tools\config\SNODAS-Tools-Config.ini.
  3. Do the same for the SNODASDaily_Automated.py SNODAS_Tools\scripts\SNODASDaily_Automated.py and the SNODASDaily_Interactive.py SNODAS_Tools\scripts\SNODASDaily_Interactive.py.
