How to setup calcVal (or different approach) when tests differ on number of Design variables

Hello,

I was unable to find any solution on this, which would be functional. I also tried some Skill scripting but nothing helped so far.
I have trimming procedure of oscillator.

Corner setup: process, biasing current

Test1 - Runs on 25deg and nominal VDD set in Design variable. Transient gives number of trimming code
Test2 - Runs on -40 and 125 deg + two VDD values. It should use the code from Test1.

This whole set should run across the Corners.

Reason for this is to use the transient from Test1 as IC for PSS and PNOISE or any other simulation within Test2.

I tried ?ignoreParams, ?matchParams in calcVal. I also tried to add dependency in run plan. It always fail mostly on different number of design variables. 
I tried to create corner1 with just process + ibias, one temp and one VDD and create corner2 with process+ibias+vdd sweep+tempsweep. Applied matchparams and ignoreparams fails on error like> no points matched the?matchParams and ?ignoreParams specification.

Version of IC is: 23.1-64b.ISR15.37

Thank you very much  for suggestions.
