2.1i Design Manager - The server threw an exception
Description
Keywords: flow engine, died, come up
Urgency: HOT
Description:
Attempting to implement a design, either a dialog box titled "Flow Engine" appears with the text: "The server threw an exception" , or the FE.LOG file displays the aforementioned text at the end its report.
This error indicates that there was an intertool communication failure that took place.
1) Attempt a reboot of your system to resolve the issue.
2) Try the following:
a)First make sure the process "revengine.exe" is not running. Shut down the Design Manager or press Ctrl-Alt-Del and take a look at Task Manager. End the process if need be.
b)Bring up a DOS shell and make sure that you are pointing to the correct Xilinx toolset (type in "path" and verify that %XILINX%/bin/nt is found).
c)Type in "revengine.exe /reg", then invoke the Design Manager from within this same DOS session.
NOTE: The application "revengine.exe" is found under the installed directory %XILINX%\bin\nt.
3) If you are accessing design files that are stored on a network, bring those files over to you local machine, then attempt an implementation of your design.
