Install guide

Customizing the WOW Interface
Although WOW will install and run ‘out of the box’, it is designed to form part of a larger
subsurface E&P portal. For example, the portal would cover project databases via WOW,
other internal databases, links to electronic document management systems, external links
etc. WOW behaves identically to any other Web site that contains a combination of static
and dynamic content. This means that WOW URLs can be called from or embedded in
any other Web page.
Knowledge of html and Web authoring is required to create Web pages that invoke WOW
components. The static pages and style sheets that provide the default WOW interface
reside in $OWHOME/WebApps/htdocs. Halliburton recommends that you do NOT modify
these files. Rather, create a new Web page that links to the relevant WOW page directly.
The ‘home page’ for the Apache installation is /var/www/html/index.html. This file is
replaced with the WOW home page on installation, but any client-provided page may be
used. In this case, the full WOW URL is http://<host>.<domain>/wow/, with the
trailing slash required.
Changing the Color Scheme
WebApps 5000.0.1.8 introduces a choice of color schemes, which applies to all client
browsers accessing the Apache server. The 'dark' and 'light' schemes broadly match the
choice offered in OpenWorks and DecisionSpace. The default is 'dark'.
To change to light:
prompt> cd $OWHOME/WebApps/htdocs; cp wow_css.js.light wow_css.js
To change to dark:
prompt> cd $OWHOME/WebApps/htdocs; cp wow_css.js.dark wow_css.js
Note that browsers may cache both JavaScript and style sheet files, so that refreshing the
browser may be required to get WOW to display correctly.
Changing Default Project Listings
In WOW R2003, the choice of district would determine the list of SeisWorks projects, and
the choice of SID the list of OpenWorks projects. In R5000, each OpenWorks project
belongs to a specific district.
In some sites it may be preferable for the choice of district to govern the OpenWorks
project list, e.g. if there are multiple unrelated districts all sharing a single instance. To
change the default behavior of listing all OpenWorks projects for the instance, set the
environmental variable OW_DISTRICT_FILTER in the wow.env file, e.g.:
prompt> cd $OWHOME/WebApps/conf
prompt> vi wow.env
… uncomment and edit the lines below as required:
# Filter OpenWorks projects by current district,
# or display all for current SID (1=on 0=off)
OW_DISTRICT_FILTER=1; export OW_DISTRICT_FILTER
