cdf Parameter access through OA scripting

Hello,

I'm having issue accessing cdf parameter '?choices' field through OA scripting. When you create a cdf parameter through:

cdfCreateParam(

g_cdfDataId
....
[ ?choices l_choices ]
....

)

Through skill I'm able to access this parameter. For example cdf~>someParamName~>choices

Using python and OA scripting I'm able to access instance cdf parameters. I'm able to retrieve the oaInst and the associated oaParam (i.e. someParamName ) and it's value, but I'm not able to see the 'choices' data.

Does the 'choices' field data get stored on the oaObject itself? If so, is there a way to access data through OA scripting?

Thank you,

Oleg

Oleg,

Cadence doesn't provide support for OA APIs reading data created in Virtuoso. You might want to contact Si2 instead (they have some forums there).

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm trying that route as well.
I guess the question is that I have in regards to Virtuoso is when you create a cdf parameter with cdfCreateParam and you set the ?choices to some value, does that choices value actually get stored on the oaInst object ?

Thank you,
Oleg

Hi Oleg,

The simple answer is no. It's in the definition of the CDF, which is stored in the cell metadata property bag (data.dm). It's not stored on the instance.
