fail to open the cell after copy its full directory

Not sure why you would be copying UNIX files on Windows - probably asking for trouble.

Anyway, can you please cd to the UNIX directory for the cell, and do:

ls -alR

and post the results?

Hi Andrew,

Copy is done in windows/linux, i use ftp tool to upload the cell to my target lib. The cell's directory is as below. I dont use copy function in cadence because the initial cell doesn't exist in cadence database. 

You didn't include the "R". I need the R in "ls -alR" to descend into each of the veriloga and symbol directories, otherwise I won't be able to see why it doesn't show the contents. So that you don't have to blank out the user name, simply using this instead:

ls -agGR

Hi Andrew, thanks for your clarification, the content is

I see you updated the original reply with additional images (BTW, I don't like images for text content, because they're not exactly searchable). Anyway, the problem is clear - all the files that matter are zero-sized, so it's hardly surprising you can't open them.

My guess is that the original data contained symbolic links into the .SYNC vault, and copying on Windows has destroyed those (typically a Windows mount of a Linux file system will not understand symbolic links).

So the simple answer is, don't copy the data on Windows. Or tar up the data and copy that file via FTP? This is assuming that the symbolic links go somewhere sensible once you've transferred it.

That said, I'm guessing about the symbolic links - but whatever has happened, the data has got lost in transit somewhere. No matter what, Virtuoso cannot magically repair data that has been lost on disk.

Andrew.
