skill ruby interface for openaccess

skillseeker

Hi,

I am asking for the best method to approach this problem.

 

I would like to execute skill commands on a Cadence database in a unix shell command line. Ideally i would not want to worry if the ICFB session is active or not. So i would prefer not to use ipc protocols as my understanding is these require you to connect to a live Cadence ICFB session.

Also would not prefer to run icfb -nograph mode and execute skill this way.

My OS platform is SUSE11. The programming language that needs to interact with the skill output is ruby.

What is the best method to achive this case.

 

Thanks

    It's not that clear what you're actually trying to do. If you want a cut-down executable which can interact with the database, you could use dbAccess. 

    You'll have to run some sort of executable with SKILL access to be able to run SKILL functions.

    I don't understand what you're trying to achieve and what role Ruby has in this.

    Maybe a clearer question with some specifics might help?

    Andrew.
