Try running in batch mode:

Hi all!
Next problem with Tcl.

1. I've got something like that in the script:

>>puts [clock format [clock seconds] -format "\[%H:%M:%S\]"]
>>
>>puts "Generation Programming File\n";
>>set start_time [clock seconds];
>>process run "Generate Programming File";
>>set stop_time [clock seconds];
>>puts "File Generation Time: [expr $stop_time - $start_time]s";
>>
>>puts [clock format [clock seconds] -format "\[%H:%M:%S\]"]

2. And I get this answer:
>>[10:33:26]
>>
>>Generation Programming File
>>
>>ERROR:TclTasksC:process_070 - process run : Before running : incorrect num tasks 1 - expected 0
>>false

It happens not every time. Sometimes it works.
I use Tcl in ISE Window, not from system command line.
It seems like tasks colision.
Have you got any idea, how to walkaround that?

Thank you.
It's exactly what I've looked for.
It works.
I've checked now that "project properties" lists all configuration
options.
I have no idea I couldn't find it yesterday.

I'm not 100% sure what you're looking for, but you can set/configure the
"Generate Programming File" (and others) with TCL commands like the
following ones:

project set {Signature /User Code} {0831} -process {Generate Programming
File}
project set {Create Binary Configuration File} 1 -process {Generate
Programming File}
project set {Done (Output Events)} 5 -process {Generate Programming File}

XST is quite delicate about the name of an entry. I'd paste the commands
into the GUI's shell and check whether they have any effect in the dialogs.

Hello,
I started to learn tcl for support my design work.
I try to use Xilinx' tools without GUI.
I can't find method to config "Generate Programming File" bitgen tool
in tcl shell.
One way I find is manual editing *.ut file then:
%exec bitgen -f pname.ut
Is there the other way?

Regards,
