Merge command error

When I tried to merge all my coverage ".ucd" files generated in IMC , its showing this sort of warning :

*W,MGURTS: The merge command could not resolve the run specification cov_work/scope/test_01. Verify the existence of a UCD file in the specified run, and rerun the command.
*W,MGURTS: The merge command could not resolve the run specification cov_work/scope/test_02. Verify the existence of a UCD file in the specified run, and rerun the command.
*W,MGURTS: The merge command could not resolve the run specification cov_work/scope/test_03. Verify the existence of a UCD file in the specified run, and rerun the command.
*I,MERGL1: No Simulation coverage databases found in the runs.
*I,MERGL1: No Specman coverage databases found in the runs.
Total conflicts during target model creation: 0
Total items not merged : 0
Total runs not considered during target model creation: 0
Total runs not merged : 0

Coverage engine version: 21.09-s012

I used the command in the following way :

1. imc -batch

2.merge test_01 tst_02 test_03 -out all

    IMC assumes that your coverage files are stored in a specific directory structure, unless you give the full path to the directory containing the UCD file.
    Thus "test_03" is translated to "./cov_work/scope/test_03/" and IMC expects to fin the UCD file under that directory path.
    If you ran your simulation with any if the options "-covworkdir" or "-covscope" then the "cov_work" or "scope" parts of the directory name will be different.
    The simplest thing is to give the full paths in the IMC command.

    Hi Stephen,
    But my coverage UCD files are already there inside /cov_scope/scope/test_*/*.ucd

    Apparently IMC can't find them. Since there doesn't seem to be a general problem here for other users, I suspect something's wrong in your setup.
    Please share the results from running the command "ls -l cov_work/scope/test_03" in the shell / terminal where you had launched IMC from.
