ADE_XL active database for multiple sessions

Hi all,

i met some issue with ADEXL and hoping someone here can help.

say i open on ADE_XL session  (i.e. the ADEXL view) for sim1 first, and then i  open another ADEXL view for another simulation  sim2 bench.

when i want to go back to view the sim1 to view the simulation results and open the calculator by clicking the calculator button in sim1 ADEXL, the active (so called context by cadence) database is still point to the sim2. 

another problem is that when i run a single point run simulation,  when i click the "plot all" to plot the results, the active database is 

always pointing to the Interactive.<n>/1/<test_name>/psf/     even when i manually open the top psf and make it context database, if i rerun the

simulation, the leaf psf will be loaded automatically by results browser and become context database.  

any suggestion on this?

thanks

jason

    In general there is no memory of which "context" result database was active - there are a few issues here and there with multiple ADE L windows getting out of sync. In general with ADE XL though this doesn't happen.

    In ADE L in the results browser you might have to pick the correct database and do RMB->Set Context (or pick in the calculator from the cyclic field at the top). In ADE L it's sometimes necessary to do Results->Select to reset the active results. 

    My experiments of doing something similar to you worked fine (I was using ISR14, not ISR13), but there may be some specific reason why it's not working. Ideally report the specifics of your issue to customer support and we can aim to fix this. There's occasionally a response that "multiple ADE sessions aren't supported" but that's not correct - it was supposed to have been designed this way, but occasionally there have been particular cases where insufficient testing of multiple session interactions was done and the sessions interfere with each other. Most of those that I know of have gone now though...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
