Hello,
I gone through the manuals regarding the setup of GoldenGate and their integration with Cadence, but I have some problems.
I do have GoldenGate installed in its folder, after that I performed the following actions:
1) created *XPEDION* variable pointing to folder where GoldenGaste is installed
2) creating *XPEDION_CADENCE_VERSION* variable with value 615 (because Cadence version 6.15 is used)
3) I located the $CDS_INST_DIR/shared/cdssetup/setup.loc file and added the following line:
*$XPEDION/aa/$XPEDION_CADENCE_VERSION*
And of course the license is pointed to a server provided for licensing.
Now, in Cadence, I open one ADE cell, which I before used to simulate with Spectre, and I go ahead and select: Setup->Simulator->GoldenGate instead of Spectre,
but once I press OK the whole thing just gets frozen and nothing happens.
I assume something was missed when the software was installed? Or maybe there was some specific error?
Or maybe I need to perform some more steps in order to integrate GoldenGate inside Cadence ADE?
The LOG file produced by Cadence is attached.
One thing I dont get is why is it looking for GoldenGate folder inside */home/soft/cadence/ic615/tools.lnx86/dfII/etc/tools/GoldenGate* folder?
GoldenGate is installed in its own completely separate folder which is pointed out by XPEDION variable, or am I missing something?

I do of course have .cdsinit script as well as .cshrc script to set up the environment variables. And I did append the .cdsinit part from the GoldenGate setup to my .cdsinit for Cadence.
Question was what am I missing in my flow setup which I described in my first post. Currently the GoldenGate cannot be launched from ADE, although it does appear in its Simulators menu. So something is missing, but I am not quite sure what, which is why I posted this question to see if there are people who set up such design flow already and know how to do it.

Do you have any *specific* variable in mind which had to be set and didnt or anything else what could cause trouble?
Again..I already precisely described which variables I created in my first post, and they sure do appear in env printout. And the environment variables related to Cadence are of course all set up correctly because I extensively use Cadence and its Spectre/MMSIM simulator.
*My specific question is what exactly am I doing wrong during integration of GoldenGate into Cadence and what else has to be entered as environment variable or any other setting together with what I described in my steps in 1st post?*
But unfortunately I have same result, once I select GoldenGate as simulator and hit OK, it just gets frozen almost and nothing starts up.
I am attaching a new Cadence Log file, a .cdsinit file located in a folder from which Cadence is being launched, and also a .cshrc file which shows what environment variables are being set.
in the .cdsinit file settings related to GoldenGate are set in the end of the file right after comment. Those settings were appended to my old .cdsinit file from $XPEDION/aa/.cdsinit_home as was instructed by agilent manual.
the .cshrc environment variables related to GoldenGate are shown under comments at the end of the file as well.
One of the things I noticed from Cadence log file is that its also looking for HPEESOF_DIR variable which by the way described in another shell, a bash shell. But I am not sure if it is relevant to this problem since it has to do with ADS which is installed but currently not used on these Linux machines.
So I guess problem is in something else.

I did notice that instead of simply continuing, you get an error and stack trace when it tries to find $HPEESOF_DIR environment variable. If you do not have ADS or GoldenGateTools configured on Linux, you may want to un-set the $HPEESOF_DIR environment variable to avoid that issue.
And whether the HPEESOF_DIR is set or not result is same. Once I select GoldenGate sim it just goes forever and nothing loads from ADE.
And well, obviously I do have GoldenGate on Linux because thats what I am trying to do, get GoldenGate work with ADE. But it seems to me that HPEESOF_DIR is specifically for RFDE ADS which since it starts looking for idf/config folder within itself, that folder exists for ADS install but not for GoldenGate. But I am trying to use GoldenGate, not RFDE so I guess I will just unset HPEESOF_DIR.
If HPEESOF_DIR is unset, it does tell that in CIW window of Cadence but no error is displayed at all. However..GoldenGate still doesnt come up once I select it.
Theoretically if you say it works for you, and my config files are same it should work too then?
Anything else what could cause problem like that?
