filter out warn msg ( SCH -2162) symbol "***" has been updated since "***" schematic was last saved.

im trying to  avoid from output to CIW  these kind of warnings. Im running a skill script that recursivly filter down the hirarchy,

and each time the schematic data is newer than the symbol data  - i get these warn msg. and lot of them.

i tried the  few different approaches ( getWarn ) - none of them  was effective. i also did some reading and I do understand that the time stamp that used to be on previous IC version isn't being used today.

what is the correct method to completely get rid of this specific warn ? .

Thx

    Hi Meny,

    So how are you traversing the hierarchy? I'd only expect these messages to happen if you're opening them with the schematic editor - rather than using db functions. Are you opening the designs in readonly mode? If so, using:

    envSetVal("schematic" "readOnlyCheckEnabled" 'boolean nil)

    might stop it doing the check (I didn't test this - it's a holiday in the UK today so this is a very quick answer). If I knew more about what you're doing I could probably give a more directed answer.

    Worst case it ought to be possible to redirect the warnings - but I wanted to understand more about the approach you're taking before suggesting that.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hello Andrew,

    im using the db function: dbOpenCellViewByType()  to traverse through the hierarchy.

    but only NOW I see that the first recursive loop, which start from  the top of the design, using  cv= geGetEditCellView(). would that be a problem ?

     Im open the different hierarchies for read only mode.

    thx

    Hi Meny,

    That's strange. Are you using any sch functions in your code? I can't see why it would complain otherwise...

    Using geGetEditCellView at the top level shouldn't cause this.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
