Check Datakey Validity

If the data source is accessible (see Check Data Source Accessibility) then you may check to see if the datakeys Links that connect a Petrel object (e.g. a well, seismic volume, or horizon) to a data item in an external data store. Given a datakey OpenSpirit can read or write any updates to/from Petrel. referenced by Petrel objects are still valid.  When the OpenSpirit data manager is first displayed the "# with Valid Keys" column will contain "n/a" (unless the data was just imported/exported in the current Petrel session).  In order to check the validity of the datakeys Links that connect a Petrel object (e.g. a well, seismic volume, or horizon) to a data item in an external data store. Given a datakey OpenSpirit can read or write any updates to/from Petrel., select some or all data types and click on this icon:

(this example would check the for the eight highlighted data types)

This will then cause the OpenSpirit Adapter to issue a query that validates that the datakeys Links that connect a Petrel object (e.g. a well, seismic volume, or horizon) to a data item in an external data store. Given a datakey OpenSpirit can read or write any updates to/from Petrel. still reference data items that exist in the external project(s).  

Note: The time to validate datakeys Links that connect a Petrel object (e.g. a well, seismic volume, or horizon) to a data item in an external data store. Given a datakey OpenSpirit can read or write any updates to/from Petrel. will increase with the number of objects being validated and for large projects may take minutes.

After validation the display looks like this (in this example all keys were valid):

Keys will be invalid if the data source is not accessible or if the referenced data items have been deleted from the data source.

Note: You may also validate datakeys Links that connect a Petrel object (e.g. a well, seismic volume, or horizon) to a data item in an external data store. Given a datakey OpenSpirit can read or write any updates to/from Petrel. from the detailed Well, Seismic, Horizon, or Fault tabs. This allows you to just validate selected objects, if desired.
