The Operations application consists of functions related to Operations activities. Operations functions include starting a new hole, entering leg, site, and hole data entering primary and secondary data for cores, entering beacon and bit inventory and usage data, and entering pump liner sizes. Many of the function in Core rely on the operations data entered here.

The Operations application does not replace any one particular existing ODP system. But it is composed of functions that are similar to existing small systems currently used at ODP, such as LEGS, which stores cruise logistics. However, the functionality of Operations goes far beyond what is currently available at ODP for collection of operations data.

To open the main window for Operations, select the Operations option from the Application menu of the Ocean Drilling Program - Janus window.

The File option for Operations is:

Use the Exit Operations option in the File menu to exit the Operations application. The main Ocean Drilling Program - Janus window returns.

The LSH/Core menu options are those which access windows used to enter and edit key operations data. The options are:

The Primary Core window is used to enter and view the primary core data for each LSH. To open the window, select the Primary option in the LSH/Core menu.

When the window opens, the current Leg, Site, and Hole identifiers along with Seafloor Depth appear at the top. The list box is read-only and contains all existing primary core data for the current LSH. NOTE: This window cannot be used to edit primary core data, therefore you cannot go back later and add more information. You need to enter all primary core information for one LSH before you start a new LSH. Upon entry to the window, the system loads the edit/entry fields that are below the list box with default values dependent on the last core data entered. These defaults are:

• No cores entered: Core =1; Type = H-APC; Top = Seafloor Depth; Bottom = blank; SubTop = 0.0; SubBottom = blank; and Adv = blank. The system automatically enters the first core number that defaults to one (1) and increments the core number by one each time you save a core.
• No cores entered for a revisited hole: Core = core selected by user; Type = H-APC; Top = Seafloor Depth selected by user; Bottom = blank; SubTop = Depth calculated from Top selected by user and Seafloor Depth; SubBottom = blank; Adv = blank. NOTE: If the only core information in the database is for the same S/H, but a different leg than the current leg, then this is a revisited hole. When this happens, the system prompts you with the Core and Bottom Depth of the last core entered for that hole. You may accept these values or enter new values. If you enter a different Core value, the value should be greater than the last Core in order to avoid misleading Core values across legs for the same site/hole.
• Previous core Type 0 - 9 (Drilled Interval): Core = Core value of the previous core; Type = Type value of the previous non-0 through 9 or non-G core; Top = Top value of the previous core, incremented by the Adv value of the previous core; Bottom = blank; SubTop = Top value of previous core, incremented by Adv value of previous core; SubBottom = blank; Adv = blank.
• Previous core Type G: Core = Core value of the previous core, incremented by 1; Type = Type value of the previous non-0 - 9 or non-G core; Top = Top value of the previous non-G core, incremented by the Adv value of the previous non-G core; Bottom = blank; SubTop = Top of previous non-G core, incremented by Adv value of previous non-G core; SubBottom = blank; Adv = blank.
• Previous core Type H or Type V: Core = Core value of previous core, incremented by 1; Type = Type value of previous core; Top = Top value of previous core, incremented by Adv value of the previous core; Bottom = Top value incremented by previous Adv value; SubTop = SubTop value of previous core, incremented by Adv value of previous core; SubBottom = Sub Top value incremented by previous Adv value; Adv = value of previous Advancement.
• Previous core NOT Type 0 - 9 (DI) or G (Ghost), Type H (APC) or Type V (VPC): Core = Core value of the previous core, incremented by 1; Type = Type value of the previous core; Top = Top value of the previous core, incremented by the Adv value of the previous core; Bottom = blank; SubTop = SubTop value of previous core, incremented by Adv value of previous core; Sub Bottom = blank; Adv = blank.

The system increments the core number by one each time you save a core. You can override this in the case of a revisited hole.

When you select a core type of G (ghost core), the Ghost Core window appears. (See Section 1.2.1.1.)

The system places default values into the Top and SubTop fields based on the conditions listed above. The only value not calculated by the system and that does not have a default is Advancement. When you save, this updates the list box with the core data you entered. The system also places the calculated values for Bottom and SubBottom into the list box.

Since there is no core data in the current database for the last core taken from a previously drilled (revisited) hole, you must return to the Start New Hole window (Section 1.2.7) and locate the core number of the last core taken from that hole.

• This button exits the window.
• Clicking on this button updates the database with the primary core data just entered. It also adds a row to the list box that contains those new values and calculates the values for Bottom and SubBottom.
• This button clears the Advancement edit/entry field. In addition, when you clear, the system resets the appropriate default values in the edit/entry fields

The Ghost Core window allows you to enter top and bottom depths for a ghost core. A ghost core is one whose contents come from an already drilled part of a hole (i.e., a hole has collapsed and been redrilled - no new hole has actually been created). When you select core type G in the Type choice box of the Primary Core window, the Ghost Core window appears.

Upon entry to the window, the Top Depth field contains the seafloor depth and the Bottom Depth field contains the bottom depth of the hole. Enter the top depth for the ghost core (it must be greater that seafloor depth and less than the bottom depth). Then enter the bottom depth (it must be greater than top depth and less than bottom depth of a last hole drilled).

• Clicking on this button exits the database with the top and bottom depth you entered for the ghost core and then exit the window.
• This button exits the window.

The Secondary Core Data window is used to enter additional information about the existing cores that were entered in the Primary Core window. To open the window, select the Secondary option from the LSH/Core menu of the Operations window.

When the window opens, the current Leg, Site, and Hole appear at the top in the Query panel. The values that are in the list box are those values specific to the LSH queried last. The highlighted row in the list box is the next row for which you must enter Time on Deck (TOD) and Drilling Time. If Drilling Time and TOD have been entered for all of the cores, then no unique panels displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the window. In the lower right corner, the window displays unique data entry panels that depend on the core type of the core. These panels are:

• If the core selected in the list box is type H or V, the window displays the APC panel. (The view of the window above shows the APC panel.) The Drilling Time defaults to 5. Saving values entered in this panel results in a database update, but the values do not appear in the list box.
• If the core selected in the list box is a type other than H or V, the window displays the Non-APC panel. (Show below.) Saving values entered in this panel results in a database update and the population of the Non-APC columns in the list box.

• If the core selected in the list box is type N, the Non-APC panel appears and includes a Motor Driven Core Barrel (MDCB) sub-panel. (Shown below.) Saving values entered in this sub-panel results in a database update but no update to the list box.

• If the core selected in the list box is type P, the Non-APC panel appears and includes a Pressure Core Sampler (PCS) sub-panel. (Shown below.) Saving values entered in this sub-panel results in a database update but no update to the list box.

• Clicking on this button saves all the data for a core that you added since the last save. The window remains open so that you can add more data. NOTE: The button is inactive when the window opens. It becomes active when you enter or edit data.

• Clicking on this button closes the window. If you have made changes since the last save, you receive a prompt that asks if you wish to save the changes. If you answer "Yes", then the system saves the data. If you answer "No", any new data is not saved and the window closes.

• Use this button is to search the database and then load the list box with existing values for the Site and Hole entered in the query fields.
• Clicking on this button updates the database with the secondary core data just entered. NOTE: This button is inactive when the window opens. It becomes active when you select a row in the list box.

The Edit Core window allows you to edit some primary core data. You cannot edit primary core data using the Primary Core window. To open the window, select the Edit Primary option from the LSH/Core menu.

When the window opens, the list box at the top contains all sites/holes for the current leg. The highlighted row shows the current Leg, Site, Hole, and Seafloor Depth. The large list box at the bottom contains data for the LSH combination highlighted above. All of the fields below the list box contain read-only data and they can be edited only after you click on the appropriate button. The core data that can be edited are core number, core type, and advancement.

There are certain conditions and restrictions that apply to this window. The are:

• If a core has sections, the Delete button is not available.
• Changes to some data might effect tables in the database. Popup messages appears in these cases.
• You cannot change the type for cores of type G.

The Output/Reports menu contains one option which is used for accessing reports for Operations and other Janus applications.

The Report Pick List window is used to select and view reports for each application. Access the window by selecting the Pick List option from the Reports menu.

When the window opens, the category selected in the Filter panel defaults to Operations. The list box contains the names of all Operations-related reports. The panel at the bottom shows a brief description of the information in the highlighted report. You can see a list of reports for another application by selecting that application in the Filter panel.
