Auto Checkin Environment Variable Settings

Set the CDS_PROMPT_CKIN and CDS_AUTO_CKIN shell environment variables to control the prompting and automatic check-in behavior.

CDS_PROMPT_CKIN

CDS_PROMPT_CKIN controls whether the Auto Checkin form appears when you close properties or files that were automatically checked out, or if you try to exit a session without closing properties or files that were automatically checked out, while using a Virtuoso Studio design environment product that has both a graphical user interface and automatic check-in capability.

This variable works with CDS_AUTO_CKIN.

Valid values are as follows:

all specifies that the form appears when either cellview or noncellview data is still checked out.

none specifies that the form never appears automatically.

views specifies that the form appears only when cellview data is still checked out.

files specifies that the form appears only when noncellview data is still checked out. This is default.

CDS_AUTO_CKIN

CDS_AUTO_CKIN controls whether the software automatically checks in data files when you close properties or files that were automatically checked out or when you exit a Virtuoso session without closing properties or files that were automatically checked out.

• If an application has a graphical user interface, this variable works with CDS_PROMPT_CKIN. When CDS_PROMPT_CKIN is set to display the Auto Checkin form, the software seeds the form to reflect the value of CDS_AUTO_CKIN. When CDS_PROMPT_CKIN is not set to display the Auto Checkin form, the software performs the check-in action specified by the value of CDS_AUTO_CKIN.
• If the application does not have a graphical user interface, the software ignores CDS_PROMPT_CKIN and performs the specified automatic check-in action.

Value values are as follows:

all specifies automatic check-in for both cellview and noncellview data.

none specifies no automatic check-in operations.

views specifies an automatic check-in for cellview data only.

files specifies an automatic check-in for noncellview data only.This is default.
