Admin: Migrate Component

Simscope allows migrating of a Source Component into a Destination Component.

• This merges the data together into a single Component (and leaves Source empty afterward).

For example, if you have a component called fpu, you can migrate this into another component called alpha_fpu.

Note: Migration is different than Renaming Components. Renaming can be done via the Component Edit page.

Backup

You may want to back up the Simscope DB before you run migration, in case something happens.

• Migration is not reversible, unless you have a backup to restore from.

To Migrate a Component

Note: before starting, ensure the Source component does not have any pending regressions running.

To migrate a component:

1. Click Admin → Migrate Component (bottom of the page).

2. Select the Source and Destination components.

3. Click the Migrate button.

This will take a few minutes.

• You can monitor the status on the Simscope terminal/log.

When the migration is complete, you will see a message on the Simscope terminal similar to this:

[INFO ] Component migration successful old-component=beta new-component=beta_fpu regrs=127

Afterward

Reindex the Design Metrics table:

1. Click Admin → Table Reindex (bottom of the page).

2. Check the Design Metrics table.

3. Click Reindex.

This will take a few minutes.

Afterward, restart the Simscope server, to ensure any cached data in memory is flushed.
