Differences between RMP Sandbox and RMP

Understand the differences between running projects in the RMP Sandbox and the RMP production environment.

Statewide projects in RMP Sandbox

The RMP automatically pushes Authorised Statewide Snapshot or Max Fuel Loads project runs from the RMP to the RMP Sandbox.

If an Authorised run has asset types that do not exist in the RMP Sandbox, it will:

  • Create an asset type as an option in the defaults for future projects, but it will be initialised as empty.

  • Initialise configuration values, such as Cost & Recovery, to those found in the Authorised runs.

All other default inputs will remain the same.

The project will function as if you created it in the RMP Sandbox, and in the same way as RMP, you can:

  • Clone runs

  • Override inputs and configurations of each run

  • View and download all the inputs and outputs

  • Upload polygons for Areas of Interest and Assets of Interest

Additional flexibility in inputs and configurations

Supplemental Wildfire History (SWP)

The RMP Sandbox enables you to upload the Supplemental Wildfire History (SuppWFH) input in more project types than the RMP.

For more information on Supplementary Wildfire History (SuppWFH), see the SWP table.

Scenario dates

You can configure the scenario date and time of the Phoenix run start and end for all project types, but the following rules apply:

  • The start and end time must be within a single day

  • There must be weather available for the run, including at least 2 hours before the start time

  • You cannot set the end time to be after 23:00

For more information on scenario dates in RMP Sandbox differences (scenario dates).

Ignition times

You can change Phoenix ignition times (in RMP, ignitions always start at 11:00).

Outputs

RMP Sandbox projects have the same outputs and comparison features as they do in RMP. You can share these outputs with other users (who have permission to view them). For a complete list, see Modelling outputs.
