setConfig

This function manipulates the current madrat configuration. In general, NULL means that the argument remains as it is whereas all other inputs will overwrite the current setting. For values which can be reset to NULL (currently only "extramappings") you can achieve a reset by setting the value to "".

Usage

setConfig(
  ...,
  regionmapping = NULL,
  extramappings = NULL,
  packages = NULL,
  globalenv = NULL,
  enablecache = NULL,
  verbosity = NULL,
  mainfolder = NULL,
  sourcefolder = NULL,
  cachefolder = NULL,
  mappingfolder = NULL,
  outputfolder = NULL,
  pucfolder = NULL,
  tmpfolder = NULL,
  nolabels = NULL,
  forcecache = NULL,
  ignorecache = NULL,
  cachecompression = NULL,
  hash = NULL,
  diagnostics = NULL,
  debug = NULL,
  maxLengthLogMessage = NULL,
  redirections = NULL,
  .cfgchecks = TRUE,
  .verbose = TRUE,
  .local = FALSE
)

localConfig(...)

Arguments

...: Arguments forwarded to setConfig
regionmapping: The name of the csv file containing the region mapping that should be used for aggregation (e.g. "regionmappingREMIND.csv").
extramappings: Names of additional mappings supplementing the given region mapping. This allows for additional aggregation levels such as subnational aggregation.
packages: A character vector with packages in which corresponding read and calc functions should be searched for
globalenv: Boolean deciding whether sources/calculations in the global environment should be included or not
enablecache: Is deprecated and will be ignored. Please use ignorecache instead.
verbosity: an integer value describing the verbosity of the functions (2 = full information, 1 = only warnings and execution information, 0 = only warnings, -1 = no information)
mainfolder: The mainfolder where all data can be found and should be written to.
sourcefolder: The folder in which all source data is stored (in sub-folders with the name of the source as folder name). In the default case this argument is set to NA meaning that the default folder should be used which is <mainfolder>/sources
cachefolder: The folder in which all cache files should be written to. In the default case this argument is set to NA meaning that the default folder should be used which is <mainfolder>/cache
mappingfolder: A folder containing all kinds of mappings (spatial, temporal or sectoral). In the default case this argument is set to NA meaning that the default folder should be used which is <mainfolder>/mappings
outputfolder: The folder all outputs should be written to. In the default case this argument is set to NA meaning that the default folder should be used which is <mainfolder>/output
pucfolder: The path where portable unaggregated collection (puc) files are located. NA by default, which means <mainfolder>/puc
tmpfolder: Path to a temp folder for temporary storage of files. By default set to <mainfolder>/tmp
nolabels: vector of retrieve models (e.g. "EXAMPLE" in case of "fullEXAMPLE") which should NOT apply a replacement of known hashes with given code labels
forcecache: Argument that allows to force madrat to read data from cache if the corresponding cache files exist. It is either a boolean to fully activate or deactivate the forcing or a vector of files (e.g. readTau, calcTauTotal) or type (e.g. Tau, TauTotal) that should be read from cache in any case.
ignorecache: Argument that allows madrat to ignore the forcecache argument for the given vector of files (e.g. readTau, calcTauTotal) or types (e.g. Tau, TauTotal) called by calcOutput or readSource. The top level function must always be part of this list.
cachecompression: logical or character string specifying whether cache files use compression. TRUE corresponds to gzip compression, and character strings "gzip", "bzip2" or "xz" specify the type of compression.
hash: specifies the used hashing algorithm. Default is "xxhash32" and all algorithms supported by digest can be used.
diagnostics: Either FALSE (default) to avoid the creation of additional log files or TRUE to write a log of diagnostic outputs to "diagnostics.log". Setting diagnostics to a file name is deprecated.
debug: Boolean which activates a debug mode. In debug mode all calculations will be executed with try=TRUE so that calculations do not stop even if the previous calculation failed. This can be helpful to get a full picture of errors rather than only seeing the first one. In addition debug=TRUE will add the suffix "debug" to the files created to avoid there use in productive runs. Furthermore, with debug=TRUE calculations will be rerun even if a corresponding tgz file already exists.
maxLengthLogMessage: in log messages evaluated arguments are printed if the resulting message is shorter than this value, otherwise arguments are shown as passed, potentially with unevaluated variable names
redirections: A list of source folder redirections, intended to be set by redirectSource. See that function's documentation for more details.
.cfgchecks: boolean deciding whether the given inputs to setConfig should be checked for consistency or just be accepted (latter is only necessary in very rare cases and should not be used in regular cases)
.verbose: boolean deciding whether status information/updates should be shown or not
.local: boolean deciding whether options are only changed until the end of the current function execution OR environment for which the options should get changed.

Functions

localConfig(): A wrapper for setConfig(..., .local = TRUE)

Note

setConfig must only be used before the data processing is started and changes in the configuration from within a download-, read-, correct-, convert-, calc-, or full-function are not allowed! Only allowed configuration update is to add another extramapping via addMapping. Currently the use of setConfig within any of these functions will trigger a warning, which is planned to be converted into an error message in one of the next package updates!
