How to know function type

SrBraj

Hi

I am going through the skill scripts which are performing GoldenGate simulation using ADE. I came across some functions in the skill scripts for which I am unable to find any definition/help.

Functions start with gg2s*. I guess these functions are for has something to do with GoldenGate to spectre translation or vice-versa. 

I used the below-mentioned statement in CIW:

describe('gg2sCreateResultsObject)

and get the following output: 

Loading skillDev.cxt
Symbol gg2sCreateResultsObject has a function definition.
Its argument list is (fileName \@optional sevSession)
The function is read-protected.
t

i. Could you please check if the functions start with gg2s* are defined in the virtuoso database? or coming from the Goldengate? 

ii. Is there a way to know if the function is defined by Virtuoso or user? 

iii. Does skill has different vocabularies? If yes, how to get the vocabulary name for the skill APIs.

I am getting the following error message "*Error* ipcWriteChild: Attempt to write to expired process - ipc:63". This error message is coming from the function gg2sCreateResultsObject() .

Thanks and Regards

  • Saurabh,

    1. gg2s functions are not from Cadence.
    2. Not entirely, but to be honest if the function is not documented (e.g. shows up in cdsFinder) then it's unlikely to be one of our functions (unless you're using a private function). The SKILL Surveyor (Tools->Conversion Toolbox) in theory should list any functions in your code which are Cadence functions, but it may not be perfect in doing this (this tool was mainly for migration from 4.3.X to 4.4.X and and I think there are some gaps in the analysis of Cadence-versus-external functions).
    3. It does have a namespace mechanism, but it's not generally used by Cadence functions (it's a relatively new addition to SKILL, and it's not significantly any better than just using well-named prefixes). The general convention is that lowercase prefixes are from Cadence, and uppercase prefixes should be used by others, but there's nothing to enforce this so you can't just use the prefix alone to determine whether something is from Cadence or elsewhere.
    4. If this is indeed a GoldenGate related function provided by Keysight, you should ask Keysight about this error.

    Andrew.
