Annoying message about OS compatibility and SKILL problem

Kovinko

 Hi all,

I have two questions, please can you give me an advice? 

The first: 

 Please how can i suppress the annoying message about operational system compatibility with DFII? In concrete i talk about this message

"WARNING: HOST <eda-laptop> DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A CADENCE SUPPORTED LINUX CONFIGURATION.

For More Info,  Please Run '<cdsroot>/tools.lnx86/bin/checkSysConf' <productId>."

which appear in CIW also in terminal many times. Exist some environment variable that can eliminates only this message? The virtuoso is installed on opensuse 13.1.

The second:

Do you know why I can't launch SKILL IDE? I go to TOOLS->SKILL IDE. After activate this item, in CIW i get "Loading skillDev.cxt" output message but nothing happened, no error message, no popup windows, just nothing. Is it installation problem? Administrator claim that license should be OK.

 Thanks a lot for your advices and response.

    The way to stop the message is to run on a supported OS! I've not checked to see if there's a way to bypass the message. 

    The SKILL IDE doesn't come up if you don't have a license for the SKILL development environment product (product 900). Unfortunately it doesn't print a message to tell you that it's not launching because you don't have a license (I think this has now been fixed, but not sure in which version).

    Thank you for your information, Andrew. It's a pitty that first problem cannot be solved. Also I am pleased that second problem is known and it is going to be solved in the future.

     If using IC616 ISR5 or later, the message should only get printed once.

    There is an environment variable to turn off the message, as described in Solution 20159321. Bear in mind however that this doesn't make the OS magically supported...

    Andrew.

    Just in case it wasn't clear - you'll still need the license - the fix is to tell you that you don't have a license rather than just failing to launch.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
