As a member of the Cadence Online Support team, be assured we were pleased to release our new site to the world. We knew that pushing some functionality to Release 2 would be a hardship but the tradeoff would be bringing a more robust site to our users. In this case, we’re calling it a BETA, in the same way that Google releases so many of their products as beta. It is fully functional for core items such as Service Request submittal and management, content search and delivery, etc.

During the interim period between go-live and the second release, we will be doing our best to compensate for the missing notifications by posting news items and potentially even manually sending some emails.

I would have preferred it if Cadence had rolled out the new version of the online support system only after its development was complete. It's called a beta version right now and email notifications will be missing until the second relase (currently planned for Q1 2010), which for me is a rather severe limitation.

I did some exploration in this space with another user just recently, and what we found was that it was an NFS caching issue. If we were looking at the log file on a different machine than the job was running on, it would take a certain quantity of data in the log file before it appeared on the disk where we were looking at the log file.

Is that the situation in your run environment too? What I've been doing sometimes is brining up an xterm on the machine I'm running on, or the log file viewer from within the tool.

I was unable to determine a way to force an nfs flush from within Encounter.

Bob, any guidance on how to flush the log and cmd channels? Often times I want to repeat a GUI type command (i.e. zoomBox) but have to wait for the file buffers to dump.

Thx,

Hi Mani, Glad you found these useful! You're right, these commands are a great part of any signoff script. I would recommend running them at least once earlier in the flow as well, so if you do have to fix something, it doesn't hold up your tapeout.

Hi ifab, The commands you mention are from extremely old versions of Encounter and don't exist anymore. However, the document you're looking for is called the Encounter Text Command Reference. I use it almost every day! The commands dbGet and dbSet are actually part of the Command Reference now.

Very helpful commands, indeed. We are going to update our signoff scripts with these commands.

Thanks Ron and Karen! I think I'll always remember this DAC as the one where social media arrived in EDA. It'll be interesting to see how things change by the time DAC rolls around next year.

Hi,

This is very useful for me since I didn't kknow the database commands existed.

I can find database commands in the "Encounter Database Access Command Reference" (soceDBAref.pdf ) but where do I find documentations for commands such as "isDRVClean" and "isTimingMet" ?

I've been using them a long time ago & forgot where I got them from.

Maybe someone could help me with this?

hi,

Is this a miniature concept of memory, where in all the memory element share a common clock point, Is not an overhead to the router and how does the congestion map behave for this ?
