Using vManager to see coverage in the same way ximc does

ArielElia95

Hello,

I'm trying to use vmanager in order to create a verification plan and then seeing it's coverage from regressions we run.

As for now, I use ximc in order to see the coverage. I click on the "Load Data" on the top left of the window, then navigate to the test directory, and then choose it and click load.

Inside that directory, there's a .ucd file.

Afterwards, I'm able to see the coverage, cover groups, percentage etc.

When trying to see the coverage in vManager, I'm trying to use the "Collect Runs" button.

From what I've read, I need to add a "write_metrics" argument to the run, and then in the same directory of the test I mentioned above, there's also a ".vsof" file.

Problem is, I don't see the coverage, it remains empty:

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

    Because vManager is a server-based technology, there can be permissions issues at play in these scenarios, if your user ID is different fro the one that started the server.

    Do you recall whether the collect operation worked correctly without any warnings or errors? Depending which vManager version you're using, the tool may default to running the collect operation from the server, meaning that it might not have permissions to look into your files. You could try "setenv VMGR_COLLECT_ON_CLIENT 1" before starting your vManager client, then re-try the collect.

    If that doesn't help, it's probably worth filing a support ticket at support.cadence.com so that one of the support team can help you directly via a screen sharing session, it'll be more effcient that way than a long written Q&A in this public forum.
