Installing LAM
Overview
Licensing allows controlled use of Landmark applications in a networked environment. When you
license a Landmark application, you also purchase one or more licenses. The number of licenses
determines the number of users who can access the application simultaneously. The license system
should be transparent to the user and, once installed, require minimal configuration and
maintenance by the network administrator.
This release of DepthTeam Express uses the OpenWorks Release 2003.12 License Application
Manager (LAM). LAM is based on GLOBEtrotter Softwares (http://www.globetrotter.com) updated
Flexible License Manager (FLEXlm) v7.2 technology. The OpenWorks Release 2003.12 LAM
Server software must be installed and configured as part of the OpenWorks installation process as
previous FLEXlm server versions will not work with this release. This should be completed before
installing any point product.
A detailed guide for managing LAM on UNIX or Windows appear in the LAM 2003.12 Guide. A
hardcopy of the guide plus the UNIX and Windows Release Notes are included in the Release
2003.12 box. Please read these documents before attempting the install.
Note
Before installing LAM Release 2003.12 server, please uninstall all existing previous versions
of LAM servers.
Every Release 2003.12 application requires a Release 2003.12 license to run. The process for
obtaining and installing a license is discussed in the next section.

You must have the hostid for your system in order to request a license. To obtain the hostid on any
platform, enter the following:
1. first install the LAM
2. then from the appropriate folder /../lam/bin
3. type lmhostid
This will display the FLEXlm host ID of the machine. The length of the hostID will
depend on the platform.
Jan 2004

Once you receive your license, you must add it your license.dat file (typically in the $OWHOME/
lam directory) and restart the license manager. After the license manager has been restarted your
newly installed software will be able to run.
For more information on managing the LAM, refer to the LAM 2003 Guide or to the OpenWorks
2003.12 Installation Notes for Linux which are included on the OpenBooks CD, Volume 1.

Quick Configuration
After installing the products from CD, the following elements that are required to run DepthTeam:
OpenWorks 2003.12 must be installed prior to installing DepthTeam.
The environment variable OWHOME must be set to a location so that OpenWorks and the
file $OWHOME/lam/license.dat can be found.
The environment variable DTHOME must be set to the parent directory of the DepthTeam
products.
The directory $DTHOME/bin must be added to the shells PATH.
The environment variables and paths for TDQ, OpenVision and DepthTeam Express must
be set according to each products individual installation notes (please refer to the individual
product Release notes).
Note
If you have OpenVision installed, $DTHOME/bin must precede $OVHOME/bin in the path.
A license.dat file must be installed, and the license manager must be running. You can point
to an alternate license file by setting the environmental variable LM_LICENSE_FILE.

If you have modified your .lgc(login|profile), you will need to manually add the following lines.
To .lgclogin add:
if ( -d ${OWHOME}/DepthTeam ) then
setenv DTHOME ${OWHOME}/DepthTeam
set path = ( ${DTHOME}/bin ${path} )
endif
To .lgcprofile add:
if [ -d ${OWHOME}/DepthTeam ]; then
DTHOME=${OWHOME}/DepthTeam
export DTHOME
PATH=${DTHOME}/bin:$PATH
fi
The license manager should already be installed and running, but you should make sure that your
license.dat contains licenses for the DepthTeam products that you want to use.

New Features
The following features were included in the 2003.12 Release of DepthTeam Express.
Deviated wells: The ability to handle Time-Depth tables from deviated wells has been added.
DepthTeam Express will now load an x,y positional coordinate along with each time/depth pair
so that the correct spatial position will be honored when calculating the velocity cube. This
option is only accessible with the Depthteam Express interpolator. The behavior of the TDQ
interpolation option remains unchanged.
Interpolation over used surfaces: Velocity cube domain conversion now includes an option
to interpolate the results along the used horizons.
Extract along a deviated well: In addition to being able to extract a velocity from a straight
well and the mid-point of a deviated well, it is now possible to extract a velocity trace along the
deviation of a well following the exact well path.

Fixed Problems
Analytic Function Manager
Analytic Function Manager can now be used to edit an already edited/created layer. (146563)
Analytic Function Manager will now save coefficients or equations where edit layers initially
set to constant. (151667)
Data Import/Export
Coordinates for grid nodes in XTYV vs SEGY exports are now correct. (167908)
On Data Import 2003.3.1.1 it is now possible to read in custom ASCII file. (519681)
Data Import FILTER option is now working in Load ASCII Velocity File option. (601235)
Cube Manager
Cube Manager now imports average velocity or XYTV depth cubes. (122261)
Importing TDQ volumes (.avf files) into DTE using Cube Manager now works. Note that the
imported file must contain a header defining the velocity file type. (160926)
The problem where there was a 15 ms top difference between TDQ and DTE in Cube Manager
resulting in incorrect instantaneous velocities is fixed. (163198)
The maximum out of range value in Cube Manager has been increased from 9999 to 20,000.
(164633)
The avf file from version of Cube Manager 2003.3.2 using FUNCTION_TYPE=TVave is now
recognised by DTE. (305954)
The 3D Constrained Dix Inversion in Cube Manager now gives reasonable results in shallow
zones. (519304)
Function Viewer/Editor
VELF RMS velocity files no longer causes the Function Viewer to hang. (155428)

Surface Manager
The problem with coordinates or values in Surface Manager when extracting surfaces from a
volume is fixed. (162507)
The Surface Manager ASCII Surface Export now has a null removal option. (518580)
Velocity Function Manager will now start when importing ASCII velocity function with
header. (159000)
Velocity Function Manager now supports analytical model using linear velocity within depth.
(306200)
General
DTE can now read data from NFS 3 filesystems larger than 2 Terabytes. (142180)
The addFloat method of VMFParamSet no longer introduces round off errors. (517671)
DTE Linux now reads sierra models that contain faults. (519400)
Documentation format description added for Surface ASCII import and export. (306556)
OpenVision
OpenVision now displays the velocity part of the cube with Exceed from a Solaris box.

Known Issues
These are the current known issues present in the R2003.12 release.
SaveAs: Always use SaveAs instead of Save in DepthTeam Express to avoid the possibility of
losing model data. Using SaveAs (instead of Save) will prevent the loss of model data in the
event of a system or network failure that occurs during the save process.
Stacksize: Occasionally DTE models may crash on opening or saving with VDS errors. This
issue may be solved by changing the stacksize. In the users home directory, open the file
.lgclogin and add the line stating the stacksize limit, as shown below.
<.lgclogin> ...
if ( -d ${OWHOME}/DepthTeam ) then
setenv DTHOME ${OWHOME}/DepthTeam
set path = ( ${DTHOME}/bin ${path} )
limit stacksize 65536
endif
Graphics cards: It is possible that DTE may not work properly if an incorrect graphics card or
OpenGL driver is installed. See Hardware Requirements on p.3. Please refer to the OpenVision
release notes for 3D display requirements.
Layered Dix Inversion condition: When performing Layered Dix inversion, it is necessary to
ensure that there is always at least one horizon deeper than all the horizons used in the
inversion. In other words, if a model includes four horizons, then only the first three can be used
in the inversion. If it is necessary to include the forth horizon in the calculations, then a fifth
horizon (that is deeper than the preceeding horizons) must be added prior to performing the Dix
inversion. The new horizon must not be included in the calculations.
Editing T/D points in FVE When horizons are displayed in the Function Viewer/Editor, then
editing of additional T/D points is disabled. To enable editing of T/D points, click the Select
Mode arrow and then the Edit button again to restore editing functionality.
Updating OpenVision after editing T/D points in deviated wells When adding or moving
data values in the Function/Viewer Editor, the position data required to display these edited
values correctly in OpenVision is not automatically updated until the model is first saved,
closed and then reopened again.
Updating OpenVision after smoothing T/D points in deviated wells Similar to the previous
issue, if a T/D function is smoothed, the position of the modified data values are not
automatically updated until the model is first saved, closed and then reopened again.
Platform dependent display of Deviated wells When T/D tables extend below the end of a
position log, the displayed behaviour depends upon the installed platform. On IRIX systems,
the lower portion of a T/D curve is displayed using a linear interpolation of the last few points
of the position log. However, on both Solaris and Linux platforms, any points in a T/D table
that extend below the end of the position log are displayed straight down from the last x,y value
of the position log. For more information, see OpenWorks Release Notes, Known Issues
137059.
