cdb2oa from command line on multi processors?

Hi all,

is it possible to run cdb2oa from the command line on multiple processors? I'm looking for a way to speed it up a little, i'm converting a whole projects worth of libs from cdb 5141 to OA IC6 & its taking some time.

Cheers

Stu

    Hi Andrew, sorry but what do you mean by dependencies?

    Here is an example of the command i am running:

     cdb2oa -cdslibpath 5141_cds.lib -lib STU_LIB -log .STU.log -mapundefinedpingroups strong -ignorelocks -oalibpath ./NEW_OA_LIB -abspath -mapviaparams

    One issue i can see is that this command currently writes the new lib to my OA cds.lib, so 2 parallel cdb2oa runs may attempt to edit the new cds.lib at the same time. I'll check the manual see what i can do to disable writing to cds.lib (which is not really required anyway as I can do that manually).

    Thanks

    Stu
