CDB2OA translation error

Dear All

In IC 610, but when I use cdb2oa to translate, there are one
*ERROR*s. as follows:
********************************************************************************************************************
CDB2OA: cdb2oa -cdslibpath /home/mlpt2/temp/oa_convert/tsmcN90lo/ -lib
michael
cdb2oa.exe started. See cdb2oa.gui.log for details.
ERROR (CDBOA-107): You cannot run the translator in the same directory
as the
CDBA cds.lib file. Doing so would add OpenAccess library
definitions to the CDBA cds.lib file, which is not
permitted. Run the translator from a different directory.
cdb2oa.exe finished



********************************************************************************************************************
What does it mean I cannot run the translation in the same directory?
I dont really get it. Can anyone help me please?

Michael

 

Hi Michael,

Isn't the error pretty self explanatory?

The problem is that you're running the translator from the same directory that
the CDB cds.lib lives in (presumably the working dir is
/home/mlpt2/temp/oa_convert/tsmcN90lo ?). As a result, it would try to create
the new OA library in the same directory, and add it to the original cds.lib.

So your -cdslibpath must not refer to the current directory. You need to run the
command from the directory where you want the new OA libraries to get created,
or at least where the new cds.lib is to be created (you can specify -oalibpath
to tell it to physically create the libraries elsewhere, but the new cds.lib is
always in the working dir).

Regards,

Andrew.
