CDS_COPY_AUTO_RENAME (ccpCopy)
May 15^th, 2007, 8:22am

I am having trouble following the instructions in the Cadence Application Infrastructure User Guide, Product Version 3.4 - Chapter 9: cdsCopy.
I would like to set the CDS_COPY_AUTO_RENAME environment variable for the ccpCopy Skill function, however the manual says nothing about what tool this is for! I have tried all the currently loaded tools, but couldn't find a tool with the variable.

So I would like to do the following:
envSetVal("someToolName" "CDS_COPY_AUTO_RENAME" 'string "yes")
ccpCopy(.....)

But there isn't any tools with this variable, as far as I can see. What tool does ccpCopy use?

Thanks, Matt.

Hello again,

I have figured out the answer to this question... one needs to set it in a terminal and then restart Cadence.

To set the environment variable for ccpCopy, I need to do the following from a terminal as follows:
setenv CDS_COPY_AUTO_RENAME "yes"
icfb &
Then run the script within Cadence.

I did try setting the variable within Cadence via setShellEnvVar, but to no avail. (This was actually what caused me so much grief, as I didn't realize that this ISN'T the same as setting the variable in a terminal and THEN starting Cadence.)

I hope this helps someone else trying the same thing!
