Problem summary

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• Insert existing component is providing a check on
  the pdb file to see if it belongs to a registered D5
  library. User is not expecting that check because it
  was not there in R10
  Correct Application
  Back in R10, it was actually a bug that gets fixed.
  However, some users were surprised of that
  behavior so an environment variable has been
  provided to disable that
  check:DNB_D5I_NO_PDB_CHECK=1.
  The check has been provided so to be persistent
  with the import of device/workcell file, where the
  D5 root library is mandatory.
