Issue with DRC - "run is invalid"

apaj
apaj over 11 years ago

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.

    Hi apaj

    Yes, I meant "?outErrorLayers". Sorry about the typo. I think it is not disabled because the log file indicates that it is in use:

      Writing stream file drc.gds...
       See assura_drc_fdk.gsm for statistics.
       Completed writing stream file.


    Would you please search for it in the compare rules file or any included rsf file?

    Best regards
    Quek
