sof/pof are not generated although no errors are reported

I use quartus II 64-bit ver 13.1.0 web edition.

FAMILY "Cyclone IV E"

DEVICE EP4CE6E22C8L also tried DEVICE EP4CE6E22C8

All was working ok, but all of a sudden sof & pof are not generated any more.

the mapper and fitter finish the jobs with 0 errors, but there are no sof & pof generated.

I checked all the logs, and there is no indication about why sof & pof are not generated.

I have the AN447 warnings but this should not block sof & pof generation.

How can I tell why quartus does not generate sof & pof? I have no indication about what is wrong.

    I fixed the problem.

    In order to see A ERROR I had to enable the tcl console (GUI/Menu/view/Utility-Windows/TCL-console)

    That showed that a syntax error was in my TCL. NOTE: all the other reports were clean, and map & fit were finishing ok, so no clue about TCL having problems !

    After fixing the TCL syntax error the SOF was generated.
