Cadence 16.6 database corruption

TK2013 over 12 years ago

Hi there,

I received this message "Database has a non-recoverable corruption...." when it was trying to import netlist into Allegro. I checked my footprints and they were ok then re-ran netlists then it kept giving me the same warnings. Please help! Thanks.

You can try the following but, if it really has an "unrecoverable error", you will need to send the file to Cadence Support and see if they can recover any data from the BRD file.
Start>All Programs>Cadence>Release 16.6>PCB Editor Utilities>DB Doctor, browse to the BRD file, you may need to change the "files of type" filter, specify a different target BRD file name to output to, check all the option boxes and "Check" to run the check and then check the Log file with Viewlog. If the log reports any errors that "could not be fixed", Cadence Support is the only option. (on Windows 8 / 8.1, use the DB Doctor tile to start)

Thanks. Oldmouldy. I did per your instruction and the Log file shows no errors or warnings. I also tried to run my netlist again and the same message came up. It also has the warning indicated that the symbols not found in PSMPATH or must be "dbdoctor"ed.
