File status (checkedout/checkedin/unmanaged)

Hi Guys,

is there a command to check the status (checked out/ checked in/ unmanaged) of all the files in one library?

I know cadence have some cool commands (like claAdmintool to kill all lock files) and I was wondering if there something for this problem.

Thanks

Amin

     Hi,  

     Within Virtuoso, You can use the gdmstatus() to get the design management status of library, cell, view, directory or file. You need to use the gdmCreateSpec() first to create the gdmSpec object which is one of the required inputs of gdmstatus().

    For your request, create the gdmSpec obj for your library and then execute the gdmstatus on that object in CIW. An example is shown below:

    gdmSpec=gdmCreateSpec(“myLib” ““ ““ ““ “CDBA”)

    gdmstatus( gdmSpec 6)

    The above returns a list of all the files included in the library ‘myLib' along with their status. The status can be gdmStateNone, gdmStateCI, gdmStateCO, etc. 

    Search for gdmCreateSpec and gdmStatus in Cadence Application Infrastructure SKILL Reference to get more details. 

    For finding the status outside of virtuoso world, you can use the gdmstatus command in UNIX e.g:

    gdmstatus -cdslib cds.lib -lib myLib

    For more information, search for gdmstatus in the Cadence Application Infrastructure User Guide  documentation.

    Regards,

    Dimitra
