Error in module(NotificationBoard) cannot open output scalar file

[valcrist73]

Hi, I'm working on a Windows 7 PC, right now have a working omnet 4.3 (tested with tictoc) with working Inet 2.2 (tested with Mobility example and others). simuLTE is also installed but when running any of the simulations shows the following error message:

I had installed omnet on C:/omnetpp-4.3 using the integrated shell with commands ./configure and then make, Inet was extracted to the samples directory and build from the IDE as the instructions said. SimuLTE was also extracted in samples and built from the IDE without showing any error.

Note: Previosly have tried several installations on other PCs also on windows 7, building inet and simulte from the console or in other attempts from the IDE (omnet 4.4, 4.3.1, 4.2, inet 2.3, 2.2 and 2.1) the best scenario so far has been the actual omnet 4.3 and inet 2.2 that everything seems fine except for the error message.

Thanks in advance for any help solving this issue.

Hi The files with extension ".sca" contain the results of a simulation. Probably your system have some problem with the file-name being used in this case. (maybe with the $) This name format is defined in the .ini file via something like

output-scalar-file = ${resultdir}/${configname}-${iterationvars}-${repetition}.sca output-vector-file = ${resultdir}/${configname}-${iterationvars}-${repetition}.vec

You can try removing those lines, thus using default names. (e.g. remove lines 155/156 in file "simulations/advanced/advanced.ini" )

I hadn't updated but yeah yesterday I commented in the .ini files those lines (which appearead on the console errors) and the simulations worked although I wasn't sure until now if that affected the correct performance of the simulation or not.

Thank you very much for your help!

Note: in windows 7 the following characters are not allowed in file names: \ / : * ? < > | so I guess the issue could be with the '/'.
