axlSetHistoryName deleting my history (bug ?)

AdrienL

Hello!

I'm trying to rename my history/run after a simulation launched in skill.

 

So here is my code:

sim_run_name = maeRunSimulation(?session maestro_copy_session ?waitUntilDone t ?callback "atb_simulation_done")

history_ctx = axlGetHistoryEntry(mainSDB sim_run_name)
sprintf(new_history_name "atb_%s_%s_%ld" lib_name cell_name now_ts)
axlSetHistoryName(history_ctx new_history_name)

I run the simulation, wait it's finished, get the history handle and finally set a new history name. ( mainSDB is set before with axlGetMainSetupDB() )

 

If I run the commands one by one in the CIW it has the same result. Before axlSetHistoryName(), in my maestro/history folder I have the correct zip, and I can view the results with ADE.

But right after axlSetHistoryName(), it's renamed in ADE (nice), the zip file is renamed too (nice), but the zip file size changes to 0 (not nice) and I can't view the results in ADE.

 

I think it's a bug from Cadence (btw I use IC23.1-64b.ISR3.27).

Or maybe I didn't understand axlSetHistoryName() and use it the wrong way.

For the moment I see a workaround I might use, do a copy of the history and delete the previous one.

    Yes, it looks to be a bug with the new history management. It's there in ISR4 too. There's an existing CCR 2599258 which I just added a prompt to that it should get fixed, but you might want to contact customer support (submit a case after logging in) and ask for a duplicate to be filed on your behalf.

    No, sorry. It's not been committed yet. It's only been reported by one customer, so that may affect the prioritisation.
