cadence ADE automation

I am writing a helper program to automate corner simulations (since cadence corners tool has some issues with our PDK). The user sets up the corners to run, then the program runs these corners through ADE. The program works, however the interface between the GUI and ADE is unreliable for starting simulations and detecting completion. The code looks something like this: ;; ************** START CODE ***************** // pvtRunSim is called when user presses "Start" button procedure(pvtRunSim(session sev_session) ;; sevNetlistAndRun(sev_session) hiRegTimer("pvtRunSimCB(session)" 20) ); pvtRunSim ;; polling routine to check for simulation completion. procedure(pvtRunSimCB(session) prog(( ) if(asiGetStatus(session) == nil then ;; else hiRegTimer(""pvtRunSimCB(session)" 20) ); end if ); prog ;; ************** END CODE ***************** There are many problems with this implimentation: Firstly, sometimes ADE finishes but if there was an error during simulation (especially netlisting errors), asiGetStatus(session) always returns true --> I think this is a cadence bug. Because of this my code will never run the next simulation. Secondly, if ADE exits (user decides to exit ADE) the CB routine is never finished, and for some reason if you try to netlist in a new ADE window, it will always fail (with no error). I don't want to focus on trying to fix these issues, I would rather improve the implimentation. Basically, I would like to setup an ADE callback routine that is called once the simulation has completed. I would like a function like sevNetlistAndRun(session ?callback "myFunc"). Does something like this exist. I feel it must since cadence's "Parametric Analysis..." tool must do something like this. Any help would be appreciated.
