Error during hdlImport

Note:  following is dialogue between a customer and Cadence engineers on an issue with an error during hdlImport. 

--------------------------
Subject: Error during hdlImport

Hi All,

On one of the designs, hdlImport is failed without giving any error message.

I am using hdlImport -2001 command to import the design files.

When I tried to use vavlog then it exit abnormally with "Exit 1" message in the end.

I have used IXE4.0, IXE3.1 version.

Please let me know how should I proceed as there is no error message coming out of the tool.

----------------------------

Cadence answers:
If it is true that you have no error and no prior warning you need to isolate down to the exact module (or better the exact construct) and simply log it with R&D - they have tools which can trace what is going on.

We had something similar with Linux,

Because there were too many hdlInputFile statements ( several 1000 ). We had to split it up and do more hdlImport commands in between. Is that your thing?
----------

Customer response:
The filelist is huge. I will try this workaround.

We are running on Solaris environment.

----------

Cadence comment:
In the past, I have worked around this issue by using a single hdlInputFile -f caf command,

where caf is the file that contains all the -y, -v etc. switches.
