Freezing error when working in IC6.15

The problem is in the error message, there is an existing .cdslck file for the log file left over from your last session. It cannot determine if it could reuse the log file. The .cdslck file contains the name of the system, which is displayed in the error message:

Unable to connect to clsbd on host "ptdes.01".

Check if clsbd is running on the host. If the host is not valid remove
the ".cdslck" lock file. The connect timeout length can be set using
the CLS_CLSBD_CONNECT_TIMEOUT environment variable.

If you set the environment variable CDS_LOG_VERSION to sequential or pid, it should fix the problem.

 I tried the following:

1) Remove the lock files when I am done working on one machine, and when I moved to another machine those lock files were not there, however; same error again popped up.

2) I tried both:

setenv CDS_LOG_VERSION pid

setenv CDS_LOG_VERSION sequential

And that did not fix the problem either, any other thoughts?

 I also tried this:

 Nothing helps, still same error I get when I move from one machine to another (again simulation and everything else works just fine, its just this error pops up from time to time and makes things freeze for around 6-9 seconds)

What else could be root of the problem?

OFF TOPIC: How come I see annoying commercial pop-up videos on this website..

P.S. Someone copied my topic to another in this forum, and Andrew helped out there, I guess this thread can be deleted now.

A few comments (I don't see a copy of your topic to another one, by the way - unless you're talking about /forums/T/24537.aspx - which appears to have been created by you too?).

1. I gave an explanation of how locking works in /forums/p/25778/1322020.aspx#1322020
2. CLS_CDSD_COMPATIBILITY_LOCKING does nothing these days - it was used in older versions which had to coexist with the old "cdsd" locking mechanism - that finally went away in about IC50 - so something like 10 years ago.
3. The env vars to control sequential logs and suffixes are not used for the ADE XL "ICRP" job log files - they're always stored in the logs_userName dir.
4. Your use model of physically moving the disk is a bit odd, to say the least - don't you have networked machines?
5. My guess is  that you're pulling the disk when something is still running, and hence the lock files remain (see the other post that I referenced), and then the new machine has no network access to the original and hence clsbd can't be talked to? Or that you shut down the original machine and when rebooted clsbd is no longer running?

I don't see commercial popup-videos, by the way. Have you got something intercepting your internet connection and adding stuff around web pages?

Andrew.

 OK, now that is too weird. Yes, commercials were due to some stuff accidentally installed with some software, I removed it and got rid of those.

 But that topic, No! I did NOT create it! 

I just thought that Admins re-created my post, my post was "Freezing error when working in IC6.15" and definitely not "Schematic slows down while readin unnecessary logs" I have no idea how did that pop up there!

It wasn't me either - and I do most of the moderation on the Custom IC and RF forums - maybe one of the system admins did it for some reason (don't know why though).

Very odd!

Oh well - hopefully OK in the end.

Andrew.
