vfoGRUpdateVersionCache

vfoGRUpdateVersionCache(
l_FGRcellDDID
t_libName
[ ?cellName t_cellName ]
[ ?viewName t_viewName ]
)
=> t / nil

Description

Updates the vfoCreateVersion parameter of an instance to the current Virtuoso version. If the vfoCreateVersion parameter is set to 0, the vfoGRUpdateVersionCache function does not update the vfoCreateVersion parameter to the latest Virtuoso version. You have to call the vfoGREnableVersionCache function to update this parameter to the latest Virtuoso version. If the vfoCreateVersion parameter is set to an older Virtuoso version and the image of the sub-master is not found in the cache files, cache.pcl and index.pcl, the vfoGRUpdateVersionCache function does not update the vfoCreateVersion parameter to the latest Virtuoso version. You have to call the vfoGRDisableVersionCache function and then the vfoGREnableVersionCache function to update this parameter to the latest Virtuoso version.

The function vfoGRUpdateVersionCache calls the dbSave function in the background, so any unsaved changes in the layout cellview are saved when the vfoGRUpdateVersionCache function is called.

Arguments

l_FGRcellDDID	The list of `dd IDs`, returned by the `ddGetObj()`function, for the fluid guard ring cells to be updated.
t_libName	The library name for which you want to update the `vfoVersionCache` parameter of the FGR instances with the current Virtuoso version.
`?cellName` t_cellName
	If a cell name is specifed, only cells with the given name are processed and all others are ignored. All views for the given cell name are processed, and `cache.pcl` and `index.pcl` files are updated in all views of the specified cell name. If no cell name is specified, all cells are processed, and `cache.pcl` and `index.pcl` are updated.
`?viewName` t_viewName
	If a view name is specified, only the specified view name is processed for all cells specified in the `t_cellName` argument. If a view name is not specified, all views of each cell are processed, and `index.pcl` and `cache.pcl` files are updated.

Value Returned

`t`	The `vfoCreateVersion` parameter has been updated.
`nil`	The `vfoCreateVersion` parameter has not been updated.

Example

The following code snippet shows how this function updates the cacheCreateVersion parameter to the current version in all the cellviews of the library reflib for instances of the device FGR2.

devids = ddGetObj("reflib" "FGR2")

lst=list(devids)

vfoGRUpdateVersionCache(lst "reflib")
