new simulation kills the previous running one

Hi,

I have a weird situation with my extracted simulations. I am running 2 of those, say, simulation1 and simulation2 within the same assembler session. If I try to start a third simulation, simulation3, (still with the same assembler) it does start but it kills simulation2. Actually simulation2 is shown now as pending while it was running before that. The log file for simulation2 shows an error which says the simulation was either stopped by the user or by the farm. It also says that an input.scs.tran.srf state file was created. One thing is for sure though, I didn't stop simulation2. Somehow starting simulation3 interferes with simulation2.

Then if I do stop simulation3, simulation2 starts running again but it starts from the beginning, not from the point it was interrupted.

Any idea what might be causing this?

My cadence version is IC23.1-64b.ISR6.30

Thanks

Svilen64 - it often helps if you explain how your problem was solved, then others can benefit if they face a similar scenario…

I restarted my cadence session few days ago and had forgotten to set the number of jobs to something greater than 1 in the job policy. Well, this doesn't explain why two simulations have been able to run, not just one, but when I increased the number of jobs, then the pending sims started again.
