Is the a way we can access library which is not define in cds.lib

kb how

Hi all,

Good day.

May i know is the a way we can access a library which is not defined in cds.lib?

Let's say i have a local common library, and i wanted to do some testing on user workspace. Without touching/modify user's cds.lib, i want to access my local common library and do some verification on user workspace.

Do cadence (SKILL) has such capability?

  • Hi Adew,

    I created a skill code (cheat way) which read current working directory cds.lib and create a new cds.lib at /tmp by addding the newLib path as below. Is this recommended?
