Issue with DRC - "run is invalid"

apaj

Hello,

when I try to run BEOL DRC everything seems to be in order. I don't get any errors, Assura successfully loads .rul and .rsf files, and .log file keeps feeling up normaly. I see all the errorchecks being performed and in the end I get "Assura terminated successfully!" message.

Nevertheless, it asks me whether I want to see the output and when I click Yes (or Ok, or whatever is there) it starts a window with a message (the same appears in CIW):

"The run "nameOfMyRun" in "myFolder" is invalid!"

and it offers me to click Ok. When I do - nothing else happens.

Please, would anybody have an idea what is going on?

Thank you very much.

    Thank you for your time and effort.

    I had already tried creating a new folder and choosing it as a Run Directory - the result was the same ("run invalid").

    Now, the other thing you mentioned gave some feedback. I saved drc.rsf in the folder from which I run icfb (correct or shoud I have chosen a different place?) and run your command. What I get is pretty much the same like what happens in the .log file when I just run DRC through Assura.

    Nevertheless, I did notice something I did not see earlier. Somewhere in the begining of listing, it gives me:

    *WARNING* Cannot find <ASSURAHOME>/tools.lnx86/dfII/etc/tools/layoutXL directory to load environment variables
    Compiling rules...

    WARNING Undefined purpose in dfII.
        Purpose name 'CUST_2' doesn't exist, ignoring this purpose.
        SPHD_2 = layer("SP" type("CUST_2")) 

    Could these two warnings make problems?

    It seems to me that it ends as it should, but here is what happens at the end:
