How to quickly find device category?

MedAn
MedAn over 8 years ago

How  can I speed up the search of teh category name for device?

Now I wrote a small script:

ret = nil;
libId = ddGetObj(IndraInitForm->techLibField->value);
catList = ddCatGetLibCats(libId);
foreach(cat catList
   catId = catId = ddCatFindCat(libId cat "r");

   when(catId != nil
      when(ddCatIsObjInCat(cName catId) ret = cat);
   );end when
);end foreach

ret;

But it's take really a lot of time. Maybe somebody can show me another way?

    Hi Andrew!

    Ok, I will try with ddCatOpen .

    Could you help me with two more questions?

    I want to show some message before I start ipcProcess (Assura DRC check).
    There is my code part:
    rsf = if(createAssRSF(cvId) t nil);

    if(rsf then
    printf("QA code tool start Assura DRC check, pls. wait....\n");
    aRun = startDRCInBatch();

    createAssRSF procedure - create rsf file, if all ok, I try to show my message, and after that start Assura DRC, startDRCInBatch().
    There is part of code for startDRCInBatch() procedure:
    cmd = sprintf(nil "assura %s > %s" rsfFile logFile);
    runId = ipcBeginProcess(cmd)
    ipcWait(runId);
    runRes = ipcReadProcess(runId);

    But message appear only after that, when DRC check will be finished. How to avoid it?

    And second question how to identify end of the text file?
