paramAnalysis issue when using LSF

dfrenette

Hello All,

I am new to ocean scripts, and am coming across the following issue. The code below works when running locally, I run into a problem when using LSF.

Notice there are 2 blocks of code here. The paramAnalysis lines are supposed to sweep variable X from 1 to 2 in both cases. Running without LSF, this behaves as expected. Running on LSF, I see the following behavior. Block one works properly, however block 2 doesn’t sweep, it only uses X=2.

This problem seems similar to http://www.cadence.com/forums/p/10413/11022.aspx. Not sure if I need to insert a sleep somewhere.fyi, I orginally wrote this script using nested parametric sweeps (instead of seperate blocks of code), but seemed to run into a limitation with the ocnPrint command.  

; *** BLOCK FOR M=3 IC1=0 IC2=0 ***

analysis('tran ?stop "660n"  )
desVar(   "IC1" 0       )
desVar(   "IC2" 0       )
desVar(   "X" 1 )
desVar(   "M" 3 )
desVar(   "mult" 1      )
temp( 27 )

paramAnalysis( "X" ?start 1 ?stop 2 ?step 1)

paramRun( ?jobName "job" ?queue "queue1" ?block t )

ocnPrint( ?output "M3_IC10_IC20" VT("/Y") ?from 5n ?to 660n ?step 10n )

; *** BLOCK FOR M=3 IC1=0 IC2=1 ***

analysis('tran ?stop "660n"  )
desVar(   "IC1" 0       )
desVar(   "IC2" 1       )
desVar(   "X" 1 )
desVar(   "M" 3 )
desVar(   "mult" 1      )
temp( 27 )

paramAnalysis( "X" ?start 1 ?stop 2 ?step 1)

paramRun( ?jobName "job" ?queue "queue1" ?block t )

ocnPrint( ?output "M3_IC10_IC21" VT("/Y") ?from 5n ?to 660n ?step 10n )

exit()

    Please contact Cadence Customer Support about this - http://support.cadence.com .

    If it is behaving as you say, it's a bug.

    Regards,
