How to check for schematic last save and last extracted in OA

vlau2 over 16 years ago

I have a piece of SKILL code in cdba that used 2 database data:

cv~>lastSchematicExtraction

cv~>instanceLastChanged

which now returns nil in OA.

I want to check whether this schematic needs to checkNSave (extract) again.

What is the equivalent functions in OA?

Hi,
for the lastSchematicExtraction you can use the following function under OpenAccess:
dbIsConnCurrent(cv)
I think for the instancesLastChanged property, cellview counters are used instead - the function dbSetConnCurrent() can be used to bring the counter up to date.
Regards,
Lawrence.

By the way. dbIsConnCurrent() also works in CDB versions (it was added a few years ago), so the best thing is to always use that, and then it will work with either underlying database.
Regards,
Andrew.

Yes,
The function dbIsConnCurrent( cv ) is what I am looking for.
Thanks,
