Title: porblem in running Dracula
Post by jimmy on Nov 20^th, 2004, 6:20pm

I got an error message when I want to debug LVS errors after running Dracula.

Can not find BOUNDARY.DAT at /tmp/iqDir/a023352/Dracula/ !
ERROR: No LAYDE.DIS in the input paths !
Please do Setup !

But I do have the LAYDE.DIS file in my running directory.

Does anyone have idea of what is the problem?

Thank you,
jimmy li

Do you have KEEPDATA=YES or KEEPDATA=INQUERY in
your *DESCRIPTION block?

Are you doing Tools->Dracula Interactive->Setup->LVS?

Regards,

Andrew.

Jimmy,

According my experience, if KEEPDATA=SMART, all the files storing the LVS error message are removed. So you may not run dracula interactive.

Pls set to KEEPDATA=INQUERY or KEEPDATA=YES.

Good luck!

Andrew and Yawei,

Thank you so much. Now it works after I set KEEPDATA=YES.

The default value in our prcess kit is SMART.

Thank you again,
