Timing ECO script for IC Compiler and SoC Encounter

Hi,

I'm using the PT(PrimeTime) and ICC(IC Compiler) of synopsys for timing closure.
The "fix_eco_timing" command of PT is very powerful for timing ECO.
Timing ECO script(Tcl) which is generated from "fix_eco_timing/write_changes" command of PT is used for timing ECO in ICC.
But this ECO script is for ICC, we can't use this script for SE(SoC Encounter) of Cadence.

The ECO command of tow tools(ICC and SE) is a little different.
For example, command for buffer insertion,

ICC: insert_buffer
SE: ecoAddRepeater

The "insert_buffer" of ICC have "-new_cell_names" options, but "ecoAddRepeater" of SE doesn't has a option like this.
SE automatically assign the new inserted cell name.
This is a my problem to convert ECO scritp for ICC(PT generate) to SE format.
(In case new inserted cell is sized again, ....)

Is there any solution about my problem ?
