A normal SeisSpace user, (a non-administrative user) will only see three icons:

Wh When en first first op open ened ed,, be befo fore re setting up any projects, one folder named Hosts displays in the tree view. This is an empty folder until SeisSpace is configured. See Configuring SeisSpace for SeisSpace for more information.

As the configuration progresses you will begin to see more information displayed in this tree view and in the table view on the right. The Navigator Navigator will optionally try to reinitialize itself at the same location where you exited from. The default behavior is to present the list of "DataHome’s" under the hosts when the Navigator is started.

Job Viewer icon The Job Viewer tracks jobs that are submitted manually from the Flow Editor or from a table list or tree list. Jobs submitted via the Flow Replication Job Table are not tracked in this Job Viewer. Select a flow in the table and use the toolbar icons to view the job output or kill the flow.

For more information refer to the Working Working with the Job Viewer Viewer documentation.

Network View icon Network View displays the job components of an executing job. It shows

Using SeisSpace

In the Table pane you must drop the item into the empty space below the table, onto the Name column header, or into the white "informational" column space. You can also drop an item from the table pane into the tree view. For example, copying a ProMAX flow, dataset or table from one line to anot an othe herr. Th Thee drop drop loca locati tion on is sens sensit itiive to the the loca locati tion on yo you u are are tryi trying ng to drop drop an object. You should also only be able to drop a Line onto an Area for example. You CANNOT copy any object from one project (Data-Home) to another.

Copying SeisSpace Datasets We have disabled the ability to copy SeisSpace datasets in the Navigator. An error dialog will be presented if you try to copy a SeisSpace dataset. There is a fundamental difference in the way that ProMAX datasets are addressed in the flows compared to how SeisSpace datasets are addressed. In the interest of trying to prevent the user from accidentally deleting or overwriting the wrong datasets, we are forcing you to manage datasets as comp co mple lete tely ly sepa separa rate te en enti titi ties es..

You must reselect the input dataset for this process in the copied flow.

Sorting Tables The table pane can be sorted by clicking MB1 on any of the column headers. • Click a selected selected column once to sort alphabetically alphabetically (or (or numerically) numerically) in ascending order.

Another manager called the “Flat File DB Manager” or “DB Instance Manager” is being started. There is one FFDB manager for each user for each opened project. These can be tracked using Network View. If you restart the workmanager you will also need to kill all of the FFDB managers. The FFDB managers will then restart as you re-open projects. The FFDB managers should die automatically when a workmanager is killed. If there are orphaned FFDB managers, they will appear to reconnect to the Navigator, but you will soon find that they are really useless. The first major clue is that you cannot submit any jobs for execution. Kill these FFDB managers using the network view and then restart them by restarting the navigation from the host level. As you expand the projects, the FFDB managers will restart and show the

Purging Flows The conventional ProMAX Flow Builder keeps one copy of the packet.job file and up to five versions of older printouts. The SeisSpace Flow Builder will keep an unlimited number of copies of flow files and printouts from previous prev ious executions. executions. You can purge (delete) the oldest instances of the flow by using the Edit -->Purge pull down down menu or or the Purge Purge Icon.

For example, a flow with 25 instances can be purged down to only instances 21 through 25 using the default of five. The -1th instance is retained as the packet.job. the number of instances remaining after a purge can be configured in the preferences dialog. You can also select multiple flows or even complete subprojects to apply the purge option. NOTE NOTE : Purging cannot be undone.

The default is set to enforce the 30 character limit for backwards compatibility with the ProMAX user interface. The alternative is to have unlimited length. For this property change to take effect you will need to exit from the Client, edit the prowess.properties file and then restart the client.

We have attempted to keep this synchronization in place for a variety of things that users may decided to do, such as renaming templates or renaming lines, etc. We believe that we can handle many of these types of activities but we do recommend that you try to keep these actions to a minimum. NOTE: NOTE: The synchronization synchronization will not remain intact if you delete directories and/o d/or files les off of disk isk ou outtsid side of the the naviga igator tor. At thi this tim time, it is diffic ifficu ult to delete information in the database that is left stranded there by manually deleting information off of disk.

Flow Replication Components Most of the SeisSpace Flow Replication components are shown below. These include a flow in template mode in the editor, a tree view of the columns in the replica table and a validation table. The other components, not shown here, are the replica table of replacement values, and the job status table.

Flow mode vs. Template mode in the flow editor When you change a flow from a regular flow to a template, the flow is automatically converted from the individual dialog box mode to the scrollable window mode with the template parameter selection "circles" turned on. Similarly if you take a template and remove all replication components (i.e. de-templatize it) it will be reverted back the user preference preference flow edit edit display mode mode which is "individua "individuall dialog box" box" by default. Templates are always presented in the flow builder in "template mode" which is the scrollable window with the replacement values showing.
