In order, however, to maintain the validity of legacy scripts that may have been developed within the community of users, Mentor Graphics has taken steps to ensure that the changes do not disrupt the execution of any such scripts.
More specifically, certain automation items have been removed while others have been redirected to accommodate the latest changes to Xpedition Designer. Wherever possible, Mentor Graphics has provided “redirection” for the removed items; that is, any call to a removed item will be redirected to another functionally-equivalent item that conforms with the new database paradigm.
There are certain other objects for which redirection is not possible. In those cases, a call for the object in question will produce an error message. Mentor Graphics has attempted to keep the number of these objects to a minimum.
