How to get current session of an opened ADE Verifier view.

fatcat1206

Hi All

Does anyone know how to get the current session of an opened ADE Verifier view.

I check the manual, there are two commands to get the session info

  • verifGetActiveSession: here the lib, cell and view info need to be specifier.
  • verifGetAllActiveSessions: it returns all the active session.

So neither of them fit with my request :(

Besides, I have tried to apply "geGetEditCellView()" and "hiGetCurrentWindow()" to the opened ADE Verifier, but both of them return nil.
I assume the "ADE Verifier" is different a object type. Can someone gives a brief explanation for it?

Best Regards

Yi

  • Hi Yi,

    There isn't really the concept of the "current" session (the Verifier window is not a "current" window in the same way as other Virtuoso applications - so there's no "hi" current window because it's not an "hi" window). So the function to get all active sessions is the only one that really makes sense here.

    What do you need the "current" session for - i.e. what are you trying to do?

    Regards,

  • Hi Andrew

    As mentioned in the cadence custom support, I have developed a script to load the "custom field" value.

    As "verifSetReqCustomFieldValue()" requires the session of Verifier, I'd like to use the session of currently opened (activated) "Verifier" for it.

    And then I plan to trigger this script via a bind key defined for "Verifier", so the user do not need to specified the lib, cell and view name of the "Verifier".

    You may see that I am still using the concept when I develop some script to deal with the "schematic", "adexl" etc.

    As you have pointed out the concept for the "Verifier" is changed, then my flow may not suitable for it anymore.

    To be honest, I even fail to assign a bind key for the "Verifier", and end up with a APP form which is called in CIW.

    Best Regards

  • Hi Yi,

    Because the UI for Verifier is not done with the usual hi or de APIs, custom bind keys or menus are not supported, nor is the idea of having a custom menu.

    However, I think there should be a way to do this, because otherwise you can't easily add custom code to address limitations of Verifier. I guess on your app form (from the CIW) you could have a cyclic field at the top to indicate which of the open verifier sessions you wish to apply the changes to?

    As we're already working through customer support, I'll file some enhancement CCRs related to bindkey and current window support.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
