How to Determine Results Directory When Using ADE Assembler Ocean Script Output

strat57

Hi,

I have been trying to use Skill/Ocean to get the results directory path.  I have found code references such as...

session = axlGetWindowSession()
histName = axlGetHistoryName(axlGetCurrentHistory(session))
rdb = axlReadHistoryResDB(histName)
foreach(test rdb->tests()
     fprintf(h, "Test: %s, Corner: %s, Point: %d, Dir: %s\n", test->name, test->cornerName, test->pointID, test->resultsDir)
)

This works fine as long as the script or commands are issued from the CIW. 

However, I get "eval err" if I add the same script code as an ADE Assembler output.

My understanding is, this is because the ADE Assembler outputs are run as an ICRP process and don't have access to the windows session.

Is there another way to get the results directory path?  

Thanks

Trent

    Trent,

    An OCEAN script output would usually be run per point in the outputs, and so would only see the specific simulation just run. So you'd use: asiGetPstDir(asiGetCurrentSession()) for example.
