Incident Cause Codes To Exclude

By default, planned outages and non-outages are not included in the reliability indices. The steps in this topic outline how you can modify the reliability reports to include these cause codes or exclude others.

Open ArchiveQueriesConfig.xml. By default, this file is installed here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Miner and Miner\Responder\Server.
Look for the following XML.
```
<b:Property Key="IncidentCauseCodesToExclude" Value="6,10" /> 
```
The above XML indicates which incidents (by cause) are excluded from the reliability indices. By default Planned Outages (6) and Non-Outages (10) are excluded from the reliability indices.
Modify the Value parameter to include only the types of outages to exclude from the reliability reports. To identify the numerical values that correspond to each cause, advance to step 4.
The Cause domain is defined in ArchiveSchemaConfig.xml. Open this file. By default, it is installed here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Miner and Miner\Responder\Server.

Look for the following XML:

<Domain Name="CAUSE" xsi:type="CodedDomainConfig" DataType="Int32">
    <DomainPair Value="0" Description="&lt;Unknown&gt;" />
    <DomainPair Value="1" Description="Weather" />
    <DomainPair Value="2" Description="Vegetation" />
    <DomainPair Value="3" Description="Animals" />
    <DomainPair Value="4" Description="Foreign Interference" />
    <DomainPair Value="5" Description="Human Cause" />
    <DomainPair Value="6" Description="Planned Outage" />
    <DomainPair Value="7" Description="Undetermined" />
    <DomainPair Value="8" Description="Equipment Failure" />
    <DomainPair Value="9" Description="All Remaining" />
    <DomainPair Value="10" Description="Non-Outage" />
</Domain>

Use the Value parameter in the CAUSE domain (ArchiveSchemaConfig.xml) to identify the types of incidents to exclude from the reliability indices. Enter these values in the XML displayed in step 2 (ArchiveQueriesConfig.xml).

TIP: Making changes to any Archive Explorer report that has a QueryClass Category="Browser" will modify that same report in Responder Web.
Save and close ArchiveQueriesConfig.xml. There is no need to edit ArchiveSchemaConfig.xml for this configuration.
