Topic:
Suggested spanning criteria for interpretation/seismic DSLs.

Description:
Session Manager > Project > Update.   

Solution:
 Setting for loading seismic data:

  When loading seismic data to a project DSL (disk storage location) it is best
  to set the spanning criteria for the seismic DSLs to a file size of between
  100MB and 2GB, depending on the size of the DSLs available. 

  Objective:  Remember, a project is limited to 100 DSLs in total and only 64
  DSLs across which one seismic volume may span, so you need to ensure that the
  file size is not too small otherwise too many volumes may be created.
  You also do not want to exceed the 2GB file size limit imposed upon IESX by
  UNIX file size limits. 

Setting for interpreting in a project:

  It is best when interpreting in a project to set the spanning criteria for the
  interpretation DSLs to either percent free or disk space free.  The percent
  free should be set to between 1 and 10 percent and the disk space
  free should be set to greater than 10MB. 

  Objective:  The user must be prevented from filling a disk to 100% of its
  capacity which could easily occur if the spanning criteria where set to file
  size. 

Ordered DSLs

  There must be at least two or more DSLs in the ordered DSLs list to write
  to, otherwise spanning will not be able to occur. 

Available DSLs

  Available DSLs are DSLs which are assigned to the project and are available
  for use but are not presently selected for writing to.  They may still
  however be read from if they contain data.
