Using Multiple IC-CAP Versions

Use the following instructions to maintain and run more than one version of IC-CAP (such as version 2006 and 2008). Keep a separate $HOME directory for each version of IC-CAP to help in structuring all the files and prevent problems that may arise if the configuration files are shared between multiple installations. The $HOME directory is where all your projects are kept.

Setting the HOME Environment Variable

You need to specify the variable $HOME separately for each version of IC-CAP that you want to run. You can set up two directories from which you can run different scripts to launch the version of IC-CAP you want.

Below are some example scripts. Please change them to match your system.

Script for IC-CAP 2006

#!/bin/ksh
#
# Script for starting IC-CAP 2006 on UNIX.
HOME=/users/jdoe/iccap2006
ICCAP_ROOT=/utils/eesof/iccap2006
PATH=$ICCAP_ROOT/bin:$PATH
export HOME ICCAP_ROOT PATH
iccap

Script for IC-CAP 2008

#!/bin/ksh
#
# Script for starting IC-CAP 2008 on UNIX.
cd /users/jdoe/iccap2008
HOME=/users/jdoe/iccap2008
ICCAP_ROOT=/utils/eesof/iccap2008
PATH=$ICCAP_ROOT/bin:$PATH
export HOME ICCAP_ROOT PATH
