You are trying to run a CDB executable on an OA library file 'symbol.oa'. You must run an OA executable to use that library file. How to solve?

Hello,

 I have just installed the TSMC0.13um PDK (version: T-013-MM-SP-001-K3_1.3B). Our system uses cadence IC5141

After that, when I try to open a symbol of any components in tsmc013 library, following warnings appears:

*WARNING* ddMapGetFileViewType: You are trying to run a CDB executable on an OA library file 'symbol.oa'. The file is in library 'tsmc13rf' in cell 'rfnmos1v' in view 'symbol'. You must run an OA executable to use that library file.

I dont know how to solve the problem.

Guide me please. Thanks you.

    Hello, 

    I have learnt that tscm013 version T-013-MM-SP-001-K3_1.3B uses OA database.

    While IC5141 is only supported CDB database. That is why it cannot open any symbol view in the above library.

    Do you know any solution for this issue?

    Or I have to install a older version of TSMC013 that bases on CDB database?

    By the way, I have received following list of documents from TSMC for TSMC013:

    What version should I choose for our application on IC5141 with ASSURA (Our main IC is a TIA with 3-dB bandwidth of 500MHz).

    (I have installed the PDK from document 08)

    Thanks you and best regards.
