ADE Explorer - Corner Simulations failing remotely

Hi Conor,

Try setting this in the CIW before you start ADE:

envSetVal("adexl.icrpStartup" "showJobStdout" 'boolean t)
envSetVal("adexl.icrpStartup" "showJobStderr" 'boolean t)

Then when the "ICRP" starts it should print messages in the CIW (and log file) about what's going on. Please provide those here.

You may also just be able to check typing "virtuoso -nograph" in a terminal window and seeng if that fails.

Hi Andrew,

I tried "virtuoso -nograph" and that started successfully. I added the two debug lines you mentioned but I didn't seem to get any extra log output until I added the following to my .cdsinit:

(when (axlIsICRPProcess)  _axlDebugTimeFlag = t  (sstatus errsetTrace t)  _stacktrace = 50  _axlCallbkDebugFlag = t ;uncomment this if debugging callbacks )

I didn't see any error messages printed in the CIW with all filters off. The following is what appears in the Job Log, I've removed some of the paths and replaced them with <PATH>. I tried to format it to make it a little more readable...

Conor,

I don't think these debug flags will help particularly in this case - it just crowds the output. Are you running with a "local" job policy or something else?

Either way, to be honest, this would make far more sense to debug via customer support - that way we can have a screen-sharing session with you to debug the problem, which will be far more effective than back-and-forth here.

Regards,

Andrew.

You're absolutely right, I'll look into setting that up now.

Many thanks for your time.

All the best,

Conor
