Old designs (Solaris Workstation versions)

twarandr

Hello everyone, we have a real problem.
We need test data from very old designs (Solaris Workstation versions)

Is it still possible for someone to generate ODB+ test data from old design files (xxx.brd versions 10-12 of Solaris workstations) or to upgrade these files "step by step" so that they can be read again with more recent versions of Cadence Allegro?

Many thanks in advance!

    You could try running the DB Doctor utility, that will update "most" versions. For the files that DB Doctor won't update, you would need to contact Cadence Online Support and raise a case on the issue. Cadence Support still have means to update files that are too old for the current DB Doctor to process.
