How do I make my Library Manager auto-refresh after a workarea update?

Hello.

 I apologize if this isn't the correct forum for my question.

 I'm using Cadence 6.1.5 with Library Manager version 2.6

 Up until very recently, my library manager would automatically refresh after doing a workarea update (I'm using the SOS version tool).

 Now it doesn't automatically refresh.  I have to go the View menu and click Refresh after each workarea update.  My coworkers don't have this problem.  I do enjoy adjusting settings in my .cdsenv file, but I don't know what I would have done to cause this.

 What controls the auto-refresh function?  I assume there's a checkbox someplace to turn this function on and off.

 Thank you for any advice you can provide!

 Steve.

    Steve,

    I had a quick dig around and I can't see any way to stop the auto refresh (I assume you're talking about the auto-refresh spotting new libraries which have been added to the cds.lib and it does a "DB auto refresh" message in the library manager?). Note that this auto-refresh doesn't necessarily mean that virtuoso itself can see everything...

    So I'm not sure what your problem is (I looked in the code too). You are probably best logging a service request to investigate this further.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
