Getting error: "Cannot obtain security information for process TDF, rc=-3" while accessing Telon Design Facility (TDF).
Environment
Release:
Component: TELON
Component: TELON
Resolution
A TDF user needs to be able to modify the TDF database as a minimum. Also only the first 7 characters of a user ID are used by Telon. Settings need to be updated to allow the users to MODIFY and WRITE.
Examples of permissions by groups could be as follows;
Users Read & execute
Everyone Read & execute
SYSTEM can do everything
Administrators can do everything

Additional Information
When user tried the CA Telon with “run as admin”, it worked
Client's ID did not have CREATE authorization. When the client got CREATE authorization,he was able to log in under his ID that did not have ADMIN rights.
The message in question comes from the Telon server, not the operating system
so there is no reason to suspect a machine permissions problem. The problem
more likely comes from their security setup for Telon/PWS desktop itself.
To debug this error, ask what steps did they take to install and set up Telon on the machines where
it works vs. the ones where it does not?
a. Have they initialized a TDF database?
b. Have they set up security for the Telon and/or Utility menus
(accomplished inside the TDF itself)?
c. Are they trying to access the product from the command line or via the
GUI?
The TDF desktop processing is failing to find the PCB that it needs to
perform any database functions, such as bringing up the TDF, import, export,
transport, database initialization, etc.
The first time the TDF database
is accessed is *not* when a user attempts to bring up the TDF; the desktop
accesses the database to check for desktop permissions (access to Telon and
Utilities menus).
