    Not enough information to go on (no info on versions used; I'd expect there to be some detailed log with more information). Please contact customer support.

    What version of Assura?

    What version of Virtuoso?

    Submitted from the gui?

    OA db or gds for the  layout?

    N.B. The question clearly does not contain enough information to get close to the cause of the issue.

    IC618 was release in 2018 so this gives me no idea whether you are using a recent release or not.

    The Assura release is from 2022... So quite old.

    I suggest you try...

      Recent (latest if possible) release.

      Run with gds (if you are not doing this). This would help identify OA db issue.

    As Andrew suggests; contacting customer support might be the best approach.

    If you are looking for help on the forum please consider the detailed level of information that might be required to identify any issues.
