CDF instance information warning meaning

Hello all,

Can someone please tell me the meaning of this warning message:

*WARNING* Unable to set cdf instance information for the master cellView of instance M0 does not have a master.

Thanks

    It means that something is trying to retrieve the CDF parameters of an instance in the design and the component that is instantiated can't be found - it means that either the specific cell is missing from the library or simply that the library name is not being referenced in the cds.lib

    It comes from an attempt to retrieve a CDF parameter for a particular instance - I can see where the warning is produced (and it's in the scenario I describe above) and there have been a number of references of this warning in various CCRs, all related to a cell or library that is missing.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
