Do you need to move the .swd directory of existing RTDA projects, or control where it is created when making a new project?
When making a new project, use the -dir option of 'vovproject create'.
To move an existing .swd , you can do it a couple of different ways, but they both require the project's vovserver to be stopped first.
This must be done because the server periodically re-writes the registry-entry file for the project, where the swd location is saved.
NOTE: In what follows, I assume the RTDA registry dir is in the standard place, $VOVDIR/local/registry. If the env-var VOV_REGISTRY is set, that directory will be used instead.
The first method, you edit the project's regentry file, then re-start the server using the vovproject command as usual.
The second method, you delete the regentry file and start the server in a special way, and it creates a new regentry file.
After the vovserver is stopped, in method 1 you edit the project's registry entry, changing the 'swd' value to the new path. You do not need to fixup the swd map entries at the end, the server will re-write the new values for you.
Suppose you had the swd for sr_superchip in ~/vov/sr_superchip.swd, and want to move it to /data/srq/vov/sr_superchip.swd.
First method:
% vovproject stop sr_superchip
% vsi
(verify that server is stopped)
% cd $VOVDIR/local/registry
% vi sr_superchip@somehost
(change 'set swd "/home/srq/vov"' to
'set swd "/data/srq/vov"'
write and quit
% mv ~/vov/sr_superchip.swd /data/srq/vov
(move the actual .swd to the desired filesystem)
% vovproject list -l
(-l option shows the swd path, verify that it is correct)
% vovproject start sr_superchip
Second method:
% vovproject stop sr_superchip
% vsi
(verify that server is stopped)
% mv ~/vov/sr_superchip.swd /data/srq/vov
(move the actual .swd to the desired filesystem)
% rm $VOVDIR/local/registry/sr_superchip@somehost
(remove regentry file, or if worried, move it somewhere
out of the registry directory as a backup)
% cd /data/srq/vov
(note that this is the parent of the .swd dir)
% ves sr_superchip.swd/setup.tcl
(enter the project environment)
% vovserver -jsb $VOV_PROJECT_NAME
(server will create a new file $VOVDIR/local/registry/sr_superchip@somehost)
% vovserverdir
(verify that the new directory is shown)
