Batch Oasis import problem and Library "refresh" using SKILL code

vtboy51

I am working on a script to import multiple Oasis files into a single library, each file contains a single layers worth of data from our design, with hierarchy. My initial attempt was to use the "append" option on import, but some very odd things are happening to my data once in Cadence (broken pointers, data shifting, ..). I am seeing AREF/SNAME related errors in the import log, maybe related....?

My second attempt was to import a single file (still using the "append" option) then flatten the data, and then import the next file. Using this method things seem better, but some data seems to be missing.... I have confirmed, by doing the import from the gui, if I do a refresh on my library between each import things look good.

So a few questions, has anyone seen odd behavior like this and have a fix. Second, is it possible to call the refresh command from Skill after each file import?

  • A correction to my original question. After some more testing I acutally need to do a "close data" after each oasis file import, not just a Library refresh. So I am also looking for the SKILL function to execute the close data routine.
