Configuring Other Landmark Applications
Z-MAP Plus / Other Data
Unlike OpenWorks and SeisWorks which have strong project management, Z-MAP Plus
and some other data can be widely scattered in different locations.
WOW needs to know where to look for these data. The methodology employed is to
maintain a list of parent directories in configuration files in $OWHOME/WebApps/conf.
For Z-MAP Plus, the directories specified are simply start points for directory browsing, i.e.
no project structure is assumed. To configure, add directories to zmap_projdirs.dat:
prompt> cd $OWHOME/WebApps/conf
prompt> cp zmap_projdirs.dat.default zmap_projdirs.dat
prompt> vi zmap_projdirs.dat
… and add top-level directories for browsing in WOW, e.g.:
#########################################################################
#
# This file contains a list of project directories for Z-MAP Plus.
# File format:
# - directory (required)
# - district (optional; use 'all' if shared between districts)
#
#########################################################################
/data1/gom/zmap GOM
/data2/int/zmap INT
/data3/misc/zmap all
An identical concept is provided for ‘Other Data’, e.g. directories containing SEG-Y, LAS,
CGM, DGN, Shape, DBF and general ASCII and Web files; other_projdirs.dat:
prompt> cd $OWHOME/WebApps/conf
prompt> cp other_projdirs.dat.default other_projdirs.dat
prompt> vi other_projdirs.dat
… and add top-level directories for browsing in WOW.
Alternatively, members of the WOW_ADMIN_GROUP can configure both these files through
the browser by clicking on ‘Admin’ on the WOW top bar.
ASCII/Web files: Both these modules also cater for two special categories of files:
• files that are composed only of ASCII characters
• files that are universally recognized by Web browsers, e.g. with extensions of .html,
.gif, .jpg etc. These are referred to as mime types.
If there are ASCII file types (e.g. .vel for velocity surveys) which should be viewed
through WOW, do the following:
