ipcBeginProcess

ajni over 9 years ago

I am running

cid = ipcBeginProcess("/afs/btv/data/asicCDK/tools/test/noarch/bin/runCalibreDRC outputFile")

this runs calibreDRC using the controlfile.

after this ipc ends i need to execute the next step

if(ipcIsAliveProcess(cid)== nil then
printf("the gds is put in the below path\n /afs/btv.ibm.com/u2/narahish/fx14p/cadence/FILL\n"))

this does not work. i tried ipcWait also . But the next etep is executed before the ipc is completed.

Can i get a help on this.

Doesn't anybody read or search the manuals these days?

Asynchronous input/output SKILL coding example with ipcBeginProcess. Specifically look at the 'simTerm' procedure and how it is referenced from ipcBeginProcess.

Lawrence.

Lawrence,

It's very difficult to find the Help menus in Virtuoso. Somebody sneakily labelled them "Help". They even hid a search box there too in recent versions.
