4 Session Functions

Every instance of ADE Explorer and ADE Assembler has a session associated with it. If these applications are opened in the UI, you can access the session by using the axlGetWindowSession function. It returns the session of the active ADE window.

If you are using a SKILL script in the non-GUI mode, you need to create a new session by using the maeOpenSetup for a maestro cellview and axlCreateSession for an adexl cellview.

By using the handle to the ADE session, you can access the existing setup database or create a new database.

This topic lists the SKILL functions that let you work with ADE sessions.
