ocean vs SKILL for ADE XL

Hello,

I am learning to start ADE XL simulations through scripting and I am confused between Ocean and SKILL . I have read the adexl skill reference and ocean reference manuals and what I have understood is that adexl skill reference is for the SKILL functions to control the ADE XL environment and ocean scripting (similar to SKILL) is used to setup the simulation and run them with ADE L and ADE XL. I have all my testcases and outputs setup in the adexl views and I am writing a script to open adexl view foreach cellview that I will define and run each test  in the adexl and get the output values, all these steps from the SHELL window without running virtuoso GUI. Which manual should I follow to develop such script oceanref or adexlSkillref? 

Thanks

    You can think of OCEAN as being a subset of SKILL; OCEAN commands are subject to the same syntax rules as core SKILL and your scripts can contain OCEAN commands and core SKILL commands intermixed as needed. The 'XL' layer is a further extension, so your scripts might contain core SKILL, ocn.* type commands and also axl.* commands. I hope this helps you. Regards, Lawrence.
