Re: Environment variables to source from $home/.cadence/dfII

slim15

Hi,

Is there an environment that I can set to source file viva.ini from $HOME/.cadence/dfII/viva/viva.ini ? Everytime when I run Virtuoso Visualization and Analysis (VIVA), the software will create a brand new directory and file in the path that I am executing it. I have tried setting CDS_WORKAREA, $CDS_SEARCHDIR, and CDS_PROJECT to $HOME but none of them work.

    I've not tried this, but it's possible changing the order in a  setup.loc file might affect things. I'm not sure that's a good idea though as it affects multiple other things too.

    I suggest you contact customer support to talk through your exact requirements and then we can see if this can be done right now, or whether it needs an enhancement. ViVA tends to save its preferences automatically without user intervention... and I've not really explored trying to convince it to use/store them elsewhere.

    Andrew.
