Check out cds.lib fails

acook

Andrew,

My enviornment uses the clio DM system. When I go to create a new library, Cadence asks for the cds.lib to checkout. A lot of times the managed file is locked and I cannot edit it. For this reason I create a non-managed "cds_custom.lib" that I include in my "cds.lib". If I specify a filename that is not "cds.lib" in the"Check out cds.lib" form that comes up, it fails to edit anything and I cannot create a library.

Two Questions:

 Is this a DM bug or Cadence bug?

If it is a Cadence bug, it seems trivial enough to change to allow any file name to be modified, as in my example a user may need to modify a referenced library file in the same path as the cds.lib.

 Thank you,

Aaron

  •  Hi Aaron,

    I think the probelm is the way the environment was set up.  The cds.lib should be for the user and not shared by the group.  Usually the environment is set up so that the cds.lib sources another file that is managed.  For example, the users cds.lib (unmanaged) sources a project_cds.lib (managed) that contains the libraries used for the project you are working in.  If a library needs to be updated for the group then the project_cds.lib is edited and checked in and everyone is updated next time they start the tool.
