ERROR - DB-270000 - Invalid String Index - Cannot Open for Read or Edit a Cell

life

There is one cell in my library that I cannot open, regardless if it's read only or write. It simply won't open.

Error code: 

(DB-270000): dbOpenCellViewByType: Invalid string index. 

"Would you like to open it for read"


When I open for read, it gives me the same message. But instead of an error popup, it is written as a *WARNING* in the ifcb. 

Is this salvageable?

    You didn't say which tool version you're using. Assuming it's a recent enough IC version (I found reports of this being addressed 10 years ago, so let's assume it's a version dated from within the last 10 years - see what getVersion() returns in the CIW), then you should be able to use the oaScan utility to repair the database.

    If that doesn't work, contact customer support.
