script to show revision history of given cellview

Hi GC,

Basically 'no' Virtuoso does not have data management built-in but provides hooks to third party tools like Cliosoft SOS, IC Manage, Design Sync and so on, and so you would have to be using a DM system and then you might be able to view the revision history but it would most likely be outside of Virtuoso.  If your question is more about "what has been done to this design since it was opened" then the CDS.log file is really your only report, it is for everything in the session, not per cellview.

Best regards,

Lawrence.

If you are using an integrated design management tool, you could do:

cv=geGetEditCellView()
gspec=gdmCreateSpec(cv~>libName cv~>cellName cv~>viewName ddGetObj(cv~>libName cv~>cellName cv~>viewName "*")~>name "CDBA")
result=nil
foreach(info '(6 3 2 1) ; look at gdmhistory documentation to understand the meaning of these numbers (in reverse order)
  if(result then
    result=foreach(mapcar (new existing) gdmhistory(gspec info) result cons(car(new) existing))
  else
    result=gdmhistory(gspec info)
  )
)

; this is just to show what was collected
pprint(result)
newline()

This will output something like:

(("1.1" "albert" "06/08/2010 17:09:48" "Created the initial design.\n")
("1.2" "george" "10/18/2010 09:53:03" "Redesigned input stage.\n")
("1.3" "victoria" "06/26/2013 09:03:52" "Improved yield.\n")
)

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

I am using IC Manage. Is there code to work with IC Manage ?

Thanks

Hi GC,

You should ask IC Manage this question. I'm not sure whether gdmhistory works with their integration and I can't easily test at the moment.
