This is an example of a suite that is designed to run only once.

• An old archive system contains data from 1990-01-01 to 1995-07-12.

• This data needs to be copied to a new archive system.

• The data needs to be processed before it is written to the new archive system.

• These data types can be copied independently.

• The data is organised daily in the old archive. The system should copy one day of data at a time.

• Only two tasks can access the old archive system at the same time.

What to do:

1. Write the suite definition
2. Design it so new data types can be easily added with their own periods

Useful pointers:

• Limits
• inlimit
• ecFlow variables
• Add Trigger
• Repeat
• Using python scripting
• Suite Definition API
