Issue in accessing PSF directory with ocean script.

Hello, I'm writing down this paragraph because I couldn't fix strange issue during running ocean.

I already ran the same testbench with ADLE, and saw it is working okay.

However, when I extracted ocean script in the ADLE->Session and run with the ocean script (ocean -restore ~.ocn), it shows the error like this:

It successfully deletes the previous psf data, but then it says as WARNING OCN-6040, cannot find the directory.

Also before that, it also says it "cannot start up spectre". Maybe the WARNING is related to this one.

Will anyone have an idea how to fix it? I will greatly appreciate all the advice.

Thank you, have a nice day.

Sincerely,

Dongsuk

    Dongsuk,

    That's odd - it suggests that there's a communication problem with spectre, and I can't quite see why it would be failing (it's related I think to the "MPS" connection to spectre to allow ADE/OCEAN to control spectre interactively).

    It would be best to contact customer support (even though ADE L is end-of-sale, and you also didn't mention the tool versions used), but as a workaround you may want to try adding this to the beginning of your OCEAN script (as the very first line):

    envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "controlMode" 'string  "batch")

    Regards,

    Andrew
