Dear all,

After doing a fresh install of IC 6.1.0 on a new workstation for
test and migration of our environment, I wanted to set up the
streams and projects as usual, but I was quite puzzled by the
fact that I couldn't find the Stream Manager !
Does anybody know what happend to the Stream Manager ?
It seems to be really missing from IC 6.1.0 - no documentation
about it nor any hint why its missing or how it got replaced.

Any hint would be very appreciated,

just another question in this context :

is there a way to convert OA Libraries back to the old format ?

Stefan

Converting back is possible, take look at the OpenAccess to CDB
translator User Guide:

If the stream manager was ended, is it up to the user to write his own
inorder to stream in/out data?

The stream manager is nothing to do with writing stream (aka GDSII) files. The
stream manager was a tool for setting up the search path to the multiple Cadence
(and third-party) software trees (known as release "STREAM"s).

The capability to File->Export->Stream and File->Import->Stream is alive and
well.

Andrew.

Hi Stephane,

Out of curiosity, I'd like to ask what do people use. The capability to
setup tools on-the-fly was handy to avoid overloading the environment
and search path for tools used once in a while.

I never used the Stream Manager, so I don't exactly know it's capabilities.
But to satisfy your curiosity we use the modules package and I knew a big IDM
which is using it too.

I use something I developed myself over many years which is very easy to
maintain the data for (essentially I just have to install a new release in a
consistent location, usually in an automount map, and it becomes available
without having to configure anything in the login system).

However, I agree with Bernd that modules is a pretty widely used solution for
this at a number of our customers. Many also have their own home-grown
solutions.

Regards,

Andrew.

Then, Martin and I are virtually nobody :)

Stream manager allowed to do it very easily since the tools came with their configuration. And best,
it could be used for third-party tools as well. Though it certainly had limitations, it was an easy
and working solution.

Of course, the same can be obtained with a limited amount of work using homemade shell scripts. Is
this what people do ?


R.I.P. Stream Manager :)
