Ocean - design("Lib" "cell" "view") - command issue

[Khaled El-Kenawy]

Hi All,

I am trying yo run ocean scripts to create spectre netlist of some designs from, also I am running my scripts from termianl not within virtuoso. I am using the ocean design command to specify my deisn

i.e. design("Libname" "cell" "view" "r")

I am using cadence 6.1.5 where the above command should work within an Ocean terminal. However it is not wokring, giving the error below.

am I missing something ? help would be very appreciated .. thanks

Works fine for me...
The only way I can get that is if I run some SKILL code to close all
cellViews open in memory - for example:

ocean> foreach(cv dbGetOpenCellViews() dbPurge(cv))
(db:0x172ef512 db:0x172eec12 db:0x172ee792 db:0x172edf12 db:0x172edb92
db:0x172ed892 db:0x172ece92 db:0x172ecc12 db:0x172ec912 db:0x172ec612
)
ocean> createNetlist()
