Final steps required for generating code coverage with NCSIM simulator

1. In this short memo I'll show the final steps required for generating the code coverage report. I get into trouble every time I do that and decided that it better be on web site.
2. At this stage you have specified coverage in NCELAB command and have many tests results from regression. You need to merge all files into one file data base.
   The merge is done using the following command:
   iccr codecov/merge.cf
   Note: the file merge.cf is merely a one line file in my simple case:
   merge -output all /proj/vmanager_results/...


3. Next stage is generating the report. First you need to verify that former operation succeeded and the all test merged file name. This is done by inspecting the file : iccr.log. There should not be errors and it should tell what file was used for the merge: "Writing output database: /proj/...."
4. Use the following command to generate the report:
   iccr codecov/report.cf -test /proj/vmanager_results/...
5. Again in my case the file codecov/report.cf is not too long:
   report_summary -module -be *
