Have you ever wondered whether it is possible to do the following things?
For those of you who are familiar with WaterObjects.NET you'll be aware that it is and has been possible for a long time to write .NET code against the WaterObjects object model to carry out tasks such as reading and writing model data and also reading model results. With regards to the kind of use cases described above, what has been lacking in the past is an easy way to write code that can be coupled with WaterGEMS in a way that can execute automatically and also the provision of generic support for doing the types of things that data processing tools might need to do, such as command line processing, interacting with files and directories, file archival, working with databases, providing configuration support and logging operations.
In the following series of documents you will find a description of a framework called the Haestad.DataIntegration Framework (HDI). Included in these documents are a description of several off-the-shelf functionalities (built on the framework) that enable automatic, configurable, conversion of WaterGEMS energy costs and hydraulics results into comma separated values (CSV) format. Such support could be useful if wanting to automatically publish results data for key assets to other systems such as Bentley AssetWise Operational Analytics, Power PI, OSI PI, or other real-time/dashboarding type system.
Furthermore, you will find documents that describe how using this framework it is possible to write software components that have the following traits:
The series of documents that describe this framework are listed below. The first document is a good place to start as it provides a bird's eye view of the framework, plus describes how the additional documents relate to the various pieces of the framework. For instance, if you are interested in publishing results to CSV format after a SCADAConnect Simulator auto-compute, then you may be able to jump right into the "WaterGEMS to CSV User Guide". If, however, you have more specific requirements that may require some kind of customization, you might be better off starting with the "Publishing Hydraulic Modeling Data to 3rd Party Systems" document. The last two documents talk specifically about how to hook custom post calculation logic into SCADAConnect Simulator, though this is not a requirement for utilizing the framework.

Some of the functionality described in this document is available with WaterGEMS versions as early as WaterGEMS 10.01.XX.XX, however, some of the most recent functionality, including in-process data exchanger support in SCADAConnect Simulator, require the latest Update 2 of WaterGEMS (10.02.01.06) in addition to the latest patch set (Patch01 or higher - please contact Technical Support via the Forum or Service Request Manager).
