Astro Database Lifecycle

The Astro Database is a Milkyway database for a block or chip routed with Astro.

The Astro Database is created in the NotReady state and passes through the lifecycle states listed below.

When an Astro Database is promoted, the Enterprise Project Management application sends a message to the DesignSync server to tag the related object with the state name. You can quickly determine where a database is in the design process by looking at its tag.
