Somehow I expected this answer. Do you have any advice how to extract
the list of available distributed simulation names from the current
session object? The OCEAN API somehow has to do this also.

No. The run() function will return the jobname regardless of whether ?jobName
was specified or not (if you're in distributed mode). All that ?jobName allows
you to do is choose the root of the generated job name - you should always use
the return value to find out what job name was actually used.

Even if you always pass ?jobName to run(), the generated run name may be
different because it needs to be unique.

This is also how I think I understood the manual. When I tried to use
run() on the CIW command line, I got the message that I have to set
simulator and design etc. I probably have to use that CIW-only OCEAN
design() command. Will be tested out.

I always recommend people to do the data access by using the direct plot-
main form, and then the "add to outputs" option on this form to add to the ADE
outputs pane. Then steal the expression from there. These expressions are
generally OCEAN friendly, and also don't have the ?resultsDir bits that the
results browser adds.

I used this method earlier, and it works, that is not the question.
After discovering the great advantages of grid computing I open several
waveform windows and populate them with waves and then change between
simulated cases with Select Result and then Update Results in the
waveform windows. When I find myself plotting the same waveforms more
than once, I would really like to have a cut-and-pasteable version of
the save waveform setup. The result of the save waveform is not very
easy to understand. You know, sometimes you add sub-windows, move
signals around, place annotations etc. This is quite a lot of work, and
not being able to easily recall them ...

By the way, where is asiGetResultsDir() documented? There's nothing on
sourcelink or in the finder.

It's a private function. Don't use it...
oops I did it again...

Svenn,
you _could use latestDataDir in the session, but that is probably even
less safe.

Not without using private functions - I don't think you can do this.
