Hi. We have cadence installed in our lab and maintained by our support group.
Since we are the end-users, we don't have root permissions on our Cadence machine.
I'm following regularly after Cadence Hotfix/tools release and since I'm fairly experienced, I have a local installation which I use to test things before I ask our support to officially install them.
In order to do so, I mount my (remote) work directories with "mountfs". I have write permissions and I can edit files on the remote location.
Moreover, on the library manager, I can create copies of files, even on my remote file system.
However, If I try to open a remote file for edit, I get the following error:
"(SCH-1217): Could not open "x.x" for edit.
(DB-270000): dbOpenCellViewByType: Unable to lock database file for <user_directory_of_test_bench>/schematic
Essentially, I can open remote files for read only, and need to make a local copy otherwise, which misses the point.
Any hint as to why this might be happening will be helpful!
Cheers,
Matan
