ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Julien Terrier
Julien Terrier over 9 years ago

Hello,

Currently I meet a problem with my environnement variable (from unix) and cadence virtuoso.

Sometimes I have to change an environment variable to work in dev mode ( It's an environment variable who I have created). But If my cadence virtuoso is already open it doesn't get the new value of my environment variable.

Description:

I work with cadence virtuoso to make some layout, i need to change of mode to load any skill procedure.

I go in my script, I change my environment variable "TOTO" in 1 then I source my script .mycsh.

In unix my environment variable is modified  now "TOTO" value is 1 whereas before it value was 0

I check in CIW ==> getShellEnvVar( "TOTO")  return of the function is not update the value is always 0

Therefore I stay in prod mode and I can't get the right path to load my skill procedure.

 

Please, could you tell me if there is an way to resolve my problem, thanks lot !
