The TIBCO OpenSpirit Scan Utility is a separately licensed product that many users of ArcGIS Desktop use in conjunction with the TIBCO OpenSpirit Extension for ArcGIS. It is designed to be run as a scheduled task that can read all the projects in a company's office and maintain a set of feature classes representing the scanned well, seismic, and interpretation data. Feature classes may be created as shape files, file geodatabase, or in ArcSDE. The features created by the Scan Utility contain a field which has the OpenSpirit datakey so a link is maintained back to the original source project. The output of the scan utility may be added to ArcGIS Desktop and the TIBCO OpenSpirit Extension for ArcGIS may then connect to the original projects to drill down to display additional information or send data selection events to other OpenSpirit enabled applications.
