The tool cannot accept a Data Model virtual syntax specification.

Tool doesn't check for .gz files  (06 Mar 2007)

tgdetect will not locate a gzipped input file unless the ".gz" extension is explicitly given.

Tool does not add a history entry to the header.

The tool does not add a history entry to the output file header, which means the dmhistory tool cannot be used to recall the command.


Bugs fixed in CIAO 4.5

The following is a list of bugs that were fixed in the CIAO 4.5 software release.

# DMCOPY (CIAO): Bad data type in filter string formatting

tgdetect may generate the following warning:

# DMCOPY (CIAO): Bad data type in filter string formatting

It is due to a minor bug in the Data Model, and may be ignored. The output of tgdetect is unaffected by this bug.

Tool fails if software installation path is too long

ERROR: The last_exit of celldetect: 134
 (15 Dec 2011)

If the full path to celldetect, which is called by tgdetect, is more than ~100 characters, the tool will fail with an error. The tool saves the filename in case it is needed for an error message, and the buffer size is exceeded.

Workaround:

The only workaround is to move the software to a shorter path location (e.g. a higher directory).
