Data Connectors

GeoFrame

• Added 3x performance improvements to Charisma seismic write functionality. (21339)
• Added CDP and SP filter to remove noise from CDP and SP positions when creating IESX 2d lines. (21468)
• Added Linux 2.4x and SunOS 5.10 to the list of valid operating systems for GF 43. (21795, 21747)
• Fixed a problem returning attribute property MinValue, MaxValue, and DataUnit values in same units as HorizonGrid2dPropertyAccessor values if the Grid's unit is different than the unit corresponding to the Grid's measurement in the Display unit system. (20976)
• Fixed a problem with projection scale factors in GeoFrame. (21858)

Kingdom

• Added functionality to adjust Fault Z values to sea level and negative going down if in depth domain. (20505)
• Fixed a problem where the Kingdom data server generates a Java crash log at shutdown. (21662)
• Fixed a problem where a unusual string is displayed in a Copy log file when copying TWT well logs from IE44 to Kingdom 8.5 64bit. (21509)
• Fixed a problem with pick location if the bore elevation is null. (21325)
• Fixed a problem where min/max sample doesn't match with float array values returned from the data connector. (21092)

• Fixed a problem where the starting point of MD/TVD should be 0.0 instead of elevation when creating two-point MD/TVD array for straight bore which has no deviation survey. (22001)

OpenWorks 2003.12

• Fixed a problem retrieving any SeisWorks 2d/3d seismic datasets or 2d/3d horizons if one of the files cannot be opened (22437)
• Fixed a problem with improper handling of multiple dir.dat entries and restricted permission to SeisWorks directories. (22328)
• Fixed a problem with scrambled grid data due to wrong internal orientation when retrieving OpenWorks 2003.12 non-seismic grids and SeisWorks 2003.12 seismic grids where the 3d survey has orientation of X-axis: InLine.  (21876)
• Added functionality to generate a better error message in the Copy Manager log if 3d surveys and 2d lines fail to copy to OpenWorks 2003.12. (21964)
• Added a few additional well status codes to the Finder and OpenWorks (2003 and R5000) data connectors. (21845)
• Fixed a problem in the OpenWorks data connector where inserting a well failed if the value for LeaseNumber already existed in the OpenWorks LEASE_MASTER table, and a value for LeaseName did not exist in the database. (21999)
• Fixed functionality to no longer create a two point path when both TD and Bottom Z values are null. (21829)
• Fixed a problem where seismic horizon queries failed if non-conforming data (e.g. 1E37 * 1000) was accidentally written to a horizon. (21774)
• Added the PathXYOffsetCRS column to the WellBore table. The PathXYOffsetCRS defines the coordinate system from which the PathXOffset, PathYOffset, and PathAzimuth columns are referenced. When inserting/updating a WellBore, applications may also specify a value for the PathXYOffsetCRS, indicating the coordinate system from which the PathXOffset, PathYOffset, and PathAzimuth values are referenced. If PathXYOffsetCRS is null on insert/update, the data connector will assume the values are referenced from the project table Coordinate System, as before. (21705)

OpenWorks R5000

• Added a few additional well status codes to the Finder and OpenWorks (2003 and R5000) data connectors. (21845)
• Fixed a problem in the OpenWorks R5000 data connector where a log indexed in time would not display properly in the 3d viewer. (21150)
• Added functionality to the Data Source Configuration panel that allows users to select the District Field from a list. The district field is no longer user editable.  (21497)

Finder

• Added a few additional well status codes to the Finder and OpenWorks (2003 and R5000) data connectors. (21845)
• Fixed problem computing Pick ValueTVD for Finder. (21854)

Petra

• Added read/write support for Petra native entities CalibData, CalibData1, MoProdDef, MoProdData, and GridHeader. (21664, 21665)
• Added relationships to the native Petra model. (21661)
• Fixed a problem inserting null values for the interpreter field in the Petra data connector. (21948)
• Fixed a problem where Petra native model query "select * from logname" or "select * from PetraProject" produces exception. (21666, 21667)
• Fixed problem in not inserting/updating the BotLat, BotLon, SurfLat and SurfLon attributes for a well properly. (21856)
• Fixed a problem where updating 'PickSource' nullifies 'Interpreter'. (21851)
• Fixed the problem where well bores fail to copy from into Petra when PathDip and PathAzimuth are NULL. (21962)

PPDM

• Added KB to the PPDM reference value catalog. (21579)

Known Issues

The following are the most significant issues known at the time of the release of v3.2.1. The FAQ area contains an up to date complete list of all known problems. The FAQ area can be found by going to the support section of the OpenSpirit web site (www.openspirit.com/support).

ArcMap Extension

• Sending projected grids as a GIS grid selection event does not work properly at this time.
  Workaround: Re-project the grid to lat/long and resend.

CopyManager

• Cannot copy from OpenWorks/SeisWorks to OpenWorks/SeisWorks where the source includes projects from the same data store configuration as the target.
  Workaround: Create a mirror data store configuration to use as the target. Please contact support@openspirit.com if you need assistance with this workflow.
• When copying well or interpretation data into OpenWorks R5000, if the incoming data is assigned to a private interpreter who is not owned by the unix account running the data connector, then the well or interpretation data cannot be copied. Interpreters inserted by the OpenSpirit copy process are, by default, private interpreters.
  Workaround: To address this issue, the interpreter can be set to public, or the unix account could be granted Manage access on the target project.
• Copy jobs built with v31x or v3.2.0 will not work with v3.2.1. Workaround: change the XML to select the project using the following format instead of referencing projectSets:
  <projectSelection>
  <projectIds>
  <projectId dsin="IE_42" dst="GeoFrame_4" proj="IE_CLOUDSPIN_42"/>
  </projectIds>
  </projectSelection>

3D Viewer

• Images are either not displayed or displayed in a squashed manner depending on graphics card version, graphics driver, and Microsoft patch version.

Data Connectors

• Kingdom - Cannot create slice volumes, and cannot create or display brick volumes in Kingdom projects
• Kingdom - Problem saving non-seismic grids into TKS8.5. Grids are lost after the data connector is shut down. Issue exists for only TKS8.5 - 64bit.
• GeoFrame - when a seismic survey is referenced to a Local Coordinate System which is different from the Display Coordinate System of the project, the survey Coordinate System is not honored.
• Some polylines are missing when both 2d and 3d faults are copied into TKS84.  Issue fixed with TKS85. Workaround: copy 2d and 3d faults in separate copy jobs.

Windows Vista

• OpenSpirit Master installation are not supported at this time, only Satellite installations.
• Vista security "locks down" C:\Program Files which prevents some Desktop Admin tools from updating changes.
  Workaround: Install into a directory other than C:\Program Files
• Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) must be disabled in order for the OpenSpirit viewers to work properly.

General

• When installing on 64bit Windows platforms, do not install in the C:\Program Files directory.  The default (C:\Program Files (X86)) should be selected, or any other custom location that is not C:\Program Files.

• Broadcasting SLICE and BRICK volumes from the 3D Volume tab in the DataSelector to the Excel Adapter when 3D Volumes are toggled to “Listen” causes only one record to be received by Excel. 
  Workaround: Broadcast the related 3D Survey(s) from the 3D Survey tab and toggle the Excel Adapter to “From 3D Seismic Survey select.”

• When 3d volumes are selected for live trace coverage scanning and the job is saved to an XML file (to be used for command-line processing), the volumes are not saved in the XML file. 
  Workaround: The user must go through the user interface in order to do 3D Volume live trace coverage scanning.
