ADE Distributed Job Name History

StevenMikes
StevenMikes over 7 years ago

Running Virtuoso version ICADV 12.3-64b.500.19

Submitting jobs in ADE with the Distributed Processing option Job Submit form.

The first field is 'Job Name', it automatically started at job001 and increments every time.

My question is: The form will not ever let you reuse a job name, even if you ran that job months ago and the results are long gone.

I searched in local and home .cadence directories but could not find where this job name history is being stored. How do I reset it so I can 

start over? Thanks!

    Steve,

    There is the "reuse job name" option on the form. However, you're probably asking more about the history of job names, which is maintained in the ~/.adpState file (in your home dir). Provided you're not running anything, it's fairly reasonable to blow that file away.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
