SKILL in Concept HDL

Hi All,

I have 2 problems while using SKILL in Concept HDL.

1. I initiate SKILL follow the aid from this forum to run the script bellowed.

mpsdeclare pcskill
mpstool=cdscnCmndsServer
mpsruncommand="cnskill -i -nongraph"
;
pcskill

This will successfully open a cnskill console but Concept will be busy for a while and return a message as bellowed:

MPS service not available.
Tool=cdscnCmndsServer Service=cdscnCmndsServer Version=.*. SessionName=10310019_ProjectMgr30808  SessionHost=AN990109654

Although this error message popped up, I still can get information from drawing for my SKILL code.

Is there anything I missed for setup SKILL environment?

2. After I run my custom SKILL code for whole design, I try to do "save hierarchy"  but can't successfully do it.

A new cnskill console pops up and doing nothing.

It seems the command " hier_write  " had been overwrite or missing.

I type instruction followed  "concepthdl.scr" as

mpsdeclare uprev_write s2l hier_write _!cdsattribute
mpstool=cdscnCmndsServer
mpsruncommand="cnskill -nongraph cdscnCmnds.ini"

Now I can do save hierarchy but if I try to open skill console with command declared in the previous issue"pcskill", it failed.

get this message in command console window  ==> "Command callback declaration list for pcskill not found."

I can't open cnskill console again even rerun script in issue1 until I close Concept and reload design.

Did I missed any required operation for MPS?

Regards,

CF
