checks if the settings are valid and produces an error.

Parameters

database

the data base

Exceptions

exception

if an error was detected

checks if all required files to be exported to exist in the given design directory

Parameters

abs_design_dir_path	the path of the design directory to be checked
quiet	if true, then no log message is printed

Exceptions

exception

if at least one required object is missing for exporting the design for the given sample number.

checks if all required objects for the given design number are existing in the database

Parameters

database	the data base
sample	the sample number used to generate the sample design idents
quiet	if true, then no log message is printed

Exceptions

exception

if at least one required object is missing for exporting the design for the given sample number.

generates a script string (Lua) that is used to build up the current settings object.

Returns

the script code, ends with newline.

Parameters

variable_ident	the ident of the Lua variable that contains the settings object
other_base_path	if this string is empty, then this string is used as the base path of the exported definition. This must be a Lua variable, so either a Lua variable name or a string containing the path

assembles the complete list of files being known to this class This is a compact view onto the contained data, since multiple items may be imported from a single file.

Returns

a list of filenames. The file names are relative to the base path.

assembles a list of files which are to be exported (only the files for which one selected a quantity are exported here) This is a compact view onto the contained data, since multiple items may be imported from a single file and some files may be inactive.

Returns

a list of filenames. The file names are relative to the base path.

gets the respective item if existing

Parameters

filename	the filename relative to the base directory
data_type	the data type, e.g. "coordinate along x direction"

Returns

a writable reference to the item. Throws an exception if not existing

gets the index of the respective item if existing

Parameters

filename	the filename relative to the base directory
data_type	the data type, e.g. "coordinate along x direction"

Returns

index to the item in the vector items. Throws an exception if not existing

assembles a list of items which are to be exported to a specific file

Parameters

filename

the file name for which all items to be imported are searched.

Returns

a list of integer indices in ascending order. Each index refers to an Item in the vector items. If no data is to be imported from the requested file, an empty list is returned.

assembles the complete list of files being known to this class and that are NOT to be created This is a compact view onto the contained data, since multiple items may be imported from a single file.

Returns

a list of filenames. The file names are relative to the base path.

assembles a list of modified files which are to be exported (only the files for which one selected a quantity are exported here) This is a compact view onto the contained data, since multiple items may be imported from a single file and some files may be inactive. The filenames in this list contain only those files that are not "newly created" but modified.

Returns

a list of filenames. The file names are relative to the base path.

assembles a list of new files which are to be exported (only the files for which one selected a quantity are exported here) This is a compact view onto the contained data, since multiple items may be imported from a single file and some files may be inactive. The filenames in this list contain only those files that are not "newly created" but modified.

Returns

a list of filenames. The file names are relative to the base path.

modifies a design on disk

Parameters

database	the data base where all data is to be added
sample_number	the design number which is used to define the design ident string for all data in the database
design_path	if this is empty, one takes the base_path. Else one takes this string instead of this->base_path
do_not_check_settings	if this is true, then the contents of design_info will not be checked on validity before starting the import. This is helpful when importing multiple designs at once. If this settings object is configured to check on duplicates in the global database, then a duplicate would be found after import of the first design always leading to an error! In this case, set this parameter to true. If an error appears during import, an exception is thrown. Nevertheless, the method tries to import as much data as possible before quit.

removes all import data from item list which is associated with the sepcified file

Parameters

filename

the file name of the file which is to be removed from import item list (exact match!).

Exceptions

exceptions

if the file does not exist in the list.

sets a new base path. This includes changing the relative path definition of the already parsed files.

Parameters

path	the base path

sets if the quantity ident of an item

Parameters

item	the index in items vector
design_ident	the design ident to be exported (if empty: use the current design number) /

sets if the quantity ident of an item

Parameters

item	the index in items vector
quantity_ident	the quantity ident to be exported (if empty: do not export this item)

sets if the source of an item

Parameters

item	the index in items vector
source	defines where the data object is taken from /
