User:Jcreer/SMS:Corrupt Project Data

Occassionally, files used in SMS become corrupted. This can happen for a few reasons:

• A file was blocked from saving correctly by system security
• The save process was terminated early
• Project files were copied incorrectly or without all necessary files
• An unknown error occured

When files become correct, contact Aquaveo technical support to report the issue.

Rebuilding a corrupted project

In the meantime, the component pieces of the project can be reassembled in SMS and saved out as part of a new project file. We've listed an example of the file types to reassemble below.

• [project name].map: The Map Module coverages saved to the project. The model-specific boundary conditions will likely need to be entered again.
• [project name]_meshes.h5: These are the meshes that were in your project. You will need to load this before loading any of the datasets saved in the [project name]_datasets folder. Although not pictured in the example screenshot below, you may have a similar file for scatter sets.
• Any GIS layers, such as rasters or shapefiles, will need to be loaded again.
• Similar to loading in the *.map file, you can reload SRH simulations (including the coverages linked to them) by loading the SRHHYDRO file, found under the [project name]\SRH-2D\[simulation name] folder(s).
• To load solutions for SRH simulations that were already run, import the XMDF.h5 file from the same directory as the SRHHYDRO file.
