Installscape/Cadence Installation Questions

growingmind

Hello,

I have Cadence IC6.17 installed on Centos 6.

I want to install further add ons to this version such as hotfixes for this version and also Incisive and Assura.

My first question is,do I have to tell Installscape where the original installation of IC6.17 is before I add on a hotfix to it or any additional programs like Incivisve or Assura ?

How do I tell it where the existing installation is ?

Next, does Incisive have to be installed after or before IC6.17 ? Someone told me Incisive has to be installed first, but this does not make sense, but I could be wrong.

Finally, I would like to use a particular hotfix of Assura not necessarily the latest release due to my setup.

Would the best procedure be to install the base Assura version using Installscape and then the hotfix I desire ?

Thank you.

    With InstallScape you can either update an existing installation (which will delete the old parts of that installation and replace it with the latest hotfix). Or you can install in a fresh directory and then it will install the pieces it needs from the base release and hotfix release to build the entire installation. If you are doing the "Update" process in InstallScape (one of the installation modes) it would ask you where the current installation is.

    You do not have to point at an IC release to install INCISIVE (or the newer XCELIUM) or ASSURA releases.

    The order you install the releases in doesn't matter.

    In general I would suggest you just install the hotfix release directly as then it will only download the very few parts of the base release that haven't been hot fixed. This is assuming you use installscape directly rather than downloading the release images and then installing (again, you could just install the hotfix first) - doing so would mean that you download a lot of stuff that doesn't get used. If you use installscape itself to download and install releases it only downloads the components it needs, so that's more efficient in terms of the amount of data it needs to download.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
