- Ensure you are not running Cadence anywhere (i.e. research server, linuxpool, amdpool, etc.)
- To find your cadence processes run the command
For example:No Format ps -elf | grep cadence | grep <login id>
You can omit the "| grep cadence" just to see all your processes.No Format ps \-elf \| grep cadence \| grep yyy33
- You can kill all your processes, including your login shell, by typing
No Format kill \-9 \-1
- Check your processes again per step 2 until you are sure your cadence processes are gone.
- You may need to clean up Cadence lock files. You can run the command:
No Format find . \-name .snapshot \-prune \-o \-name}} {{{*}cdslck{*}}} {{-exec rm {} \;
When starting Cadence, an error indicates that cds.lib can not be read.
In some instances, it indicates there might be a problem with cdsd daemon.

You have to set the application install directory environment variables for the tools you want to use. Below is an example for all of them:
| No Format |
|---|
\# # Path to application install directories \# set CDSHOME = /opt/cadence/ic set ASSURAHOME = /opt/cadence/assura set ANLSHOME = /opt/cadence/anls set ASSURAHOME = /opt/cadence/assura set CONFRMLHOME = /opt/cadence/confrml set EMGRHOME = /opt/cadence/emgr set ETHOME = /opt/cadence/et set ETSHOME = /opt/cadence/ets set EXTHOME = /opt/cadence/ext set ICHOME = /opt/cadence/ic set IFVHOME = /opt/cadence/ifv set IUSHOME = /opt/cadence/ius set MMSIMHOME = /opt/cadence/mmsim set PACIFICHOME = /opt/cadence/pacific set RCHOME = /opt/cadence/rc set SOCHOME = /opt/cadence/soc set SPBHOME = /opt/cadence/spb set CTOSHOME = /opt/cadence/ctos |
Then you set paths to the executables for each of the apps, for example:
| No Format |
|---|
\# # Path to Cadence Executables \# set dfiiPath = ($CDSHOME/tools/bin $CDSHOME/tools/dfII/bin) set assuraPath = ($ASSURAHOME/tools/bin $ASSURAHOME/tools/dfII/bin) set anlsPath = ( $ANLSHOME/tools/bin $ANLSHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set confrmlPath = ( $CONFRMLHOME/tools/bin $CONFRMLHOME/tools/dfII/bin) set emgrPath = ( $EMGRHOME/tools/bin $EMGRHOME/tools/dfII/bin) set etPath = ( $ETHOME/tools/bin $ETHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set etsPath = ( $ETSHOME/tools/bin $ETSHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set extPath = ( $EXTHOME/tools/bin $EXTHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set ifvPath = ( $IFVHOME/tools/bin $IFVHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set iusPath = ( $IUSHOME/tools/bin $IUSHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set mmsimPath = ( $MMSIMHOME/tools/bin $MMSIMHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set pacificPath = ( $PACIFICHOME/tools/bin $PACIFICHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set rcPath = ( $RCHOME/tools/bin $RCHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set socPath = ( $SOCHOME/tools/bin $SOCHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set spbPath = ( $SPBHOME/tools/bin SPBHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) set ctosPath = ( $CTOSHOME/tools/bin $CTOSHOME/tools/dfII/bin ) |
Then you have to update your actual UNIX path:
| No Format |
|---|
\# # Set Path \# set path = ( $PATH \ $dfiiPath \ $assuraPath \ $anlsPath\ $confrmlPath\ $emgrPath\ $etPath\ $etsPath\ $extPath\ $iusPath\ $ifvPath\ $iusPath\ $mmsimPath\ $pacificPath\ $rcPath\ $socPath\ $spbPath \ $ctosPath ) |
Add an entry to point to the licensing information:
